Andy took a small group of friends to Die Strandloper last weekend and was absolutely great. The Van/bus was very clean and roomie and Andy was very friendly. We forgot a few things and Andy was very helpful in getting us organized again. I got quotes from a number of other shuttle operators and Andy had the best rates. Would highly recommend.

The favorite was viewing the shacks. It was so surreal and total amazing coming face to face with the sharks. Despite the Pandamic it didn't dumpen our spirits even though there are few trips done by the operators due to low numbers. The drive to Gansbaai is so amazing with beautiful mountains along the way. I'll definitely go again.

Francis was a charming young man who was a wonderful driver but was greatly lacking as a guide. He didn't know even the most basic information about Cape Town or the sights he drove us to. There were 8 of us, each paying $140 ($1120). For that kind of money I feel Viator should insure that a knowledgeable guide is provided.

Walking the mountain top and journey to the top by cable car. We were collected by a taxi. The only negative was that we had to make the contact to the tour company the day before the trip rather than the other way round!
