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 ????

Absolutely loved the tour with Terence and friends at Spice Route! We were so well taken care of and did not have to plan anything. Terence took care of all of the arrangements and we could just enjoy the day. This was my second tour with him and I will never use anyone else. Thank you for keeping us safe and allowing us to just enjoy!

This is a late, overdue post. I met Rene last October when I visited my daughter who was on an internship in Cape Town. I booked a Garden Route Tour and Rene was assigned to us as our personal guide. During the five day trip, we got to know Rene as a very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating person. She is also a very good, safe driver. Though our tour itinerary was set, she offered suggestions on what to do based on what our interests were. She was flexible in what we needed and asked for. We used Rene for other tours after our Garden Route trip was over. She took us to places for shopping (knows the hookup to less expensive quality items such as jewelry, ostrich leather, and souvenirs) and took us off the beaten path so we could experience the not so touristy but safe places. She also took us for wine tasting in Stellenbosch, Constantia, and Franschhoek. I would highly recommend her for anything and everything. Will definitely use her again should I have the privilege of visiting Cape Town again.

The lansdscape, the environment and the character are some of the most outstanding features of this tour. The tranquil environment and the hospitality of the locals draws in thousands annually.

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.
