Going to Die Hel has always been on my bucket list and when my best friend and I went to Prince Albert for a week we decided to do it. Not having a 4x4 vehicle we researched and found Roeland who does the tour! What an amazing day! Roeland picked us up from our hotel and he entertained us with his knowledge of the area and just his friendliness. We spent almost a half of a day with him and enjoyed every minute! You can not go better than Roeland. He made the trip so personal for us and we made a friend that day and got to see a beautiful part of our country and our history. Will definitely recommend Roeland and his tours to anyone!

Our curated wine experience was incredible. Our tour guide Roger ensured we learnt at each farm, tasted the best wines at each farm and walked away feeling amazing. It was the best experience, and Roger was a wonderful host. We are very glad to have had Roger as our guide. He ensured we received the best wines at each farm, and assisted us with choosing our favorites from each farm to purchase. Thank you Roger for the most fantastic day, despite the rain.

I have sent many of my tourists and guests on tours with Peter Giddy and they have always come back with glowing reports of the wonderful time they had. I was privileged to take my grandson on a hike up the Lady Slipper Mountain just outside Port Elizabeth. Peter was a great host and made the walk so interesting by pointing out different plants along the way and telling us stories about the area. He has many other walking/hiking tours and I would recommend that you do as many of these with Peter as you can I would recommend any tour with Peter.

Corney tailor-made a trip into the Little and Great Karoo for us, and it could not have been more perfect. He understood exactly what we liked and catered to every little whim. He is knowledgeable, interesting to talk to, and very easy to be with. His quiet, unassuming manner, sense of humour and happy disposition resulted in his trip being the highlight of our travels.
