Well, we discovered way more , we truly discovered how beautifull the local people of Capetown are.

We had the most memorable day and just fell in love with the Mother city...

We went on a full-day tour with Ian and it was fantastic! We went zip lining in the mountains east of Cape Town, where Ian took extra pictures and videos of us, stopped at the Elgin Railway Market for lunch, went to the Cheetah Outreach center to see big cats, and ended the day at Triggerfish Brewery for a well-deserved beer. Ian was knowledgeable, punctual, and shared many funny stories. His van was spotless and clean and his driving was outstanding. We would not hesitate to book him for any of his tours - he's truly one of the best! Thanks Ian!

Jean Luc - he was the best guide we ever had. Friendly, knowledgable, funny and everything you could as for in a guide. Especially taking into account being the first ones to travel with him after a long period of nothing due to Corona. Very professional. The tour was absolutely worth every second and we highly recommend it to everyone. Cape of good hope, Chapmans peak, Lighthouse, Table Mountain, Muizenberg Beach, Simon's Town, Boulders Beach. What an awesome experience for me exploring Cape Town for the first time. Keep it up Jean Luc - times will get better again ????

We spent a few days in Cape Town, however we would have missed so much if we didnt do this tour. Our guide not only took us to interesting places but he knew so much about each place and you could tell he really has a passion for Cape Town, its history and its people. Table Mountain was a big tick off the bucket list and our guide knew the perfect time for us to go in order to avoid the crazy long lines we had heard of. The best view of Cape Down is from way up in the clouds and we loved every part of the day !

The western Cape wineries are a real gem in South Africa. Little did I know that the landscape in Stellenbosch is similar to parts of southern France. We had the opportunity of doing brandy tasting at Ryan's Brand were the brandy was paired with chocolates. An interesting part of the tour was a walk about in the town of stellenbosch The town looks very much touristic but I wonder and also would like to urge locals to visit this place. We also visited Franschoek with it's own Hugenouout memorial before we rounded off with Peter Falk winery. The last winery is totally amazing with an Italian touch. Hats off to Kuda our guide. So humble and attentive. This is a very relaxed tour nobody pushes you around. Worthy every penny.
