We had a wonderful time visiting wine farms in Paarl and Stellenbosch. I had originally booked a group tour with a friend but we ended up being the only ones on the tour. Adriaan (the owner) was fantastic in coordinating the tour and making everything happen although he was out of town. Terrific costumer service! Lourens who was our guide for the day was amazing. The pick up/drop off at the hotel was good, the wine farms and tastings were great. We also had a fantastic lunch! All in all 5 star day and we highly recommend this wine tour to others! Many thanks and big smiles from, Marte and Ida from Norway

We travelled to South Africa in February 2021 and originally toyed with the idea of just using Ubers to travel around wineries. At the last minute we asked our hotel for a recommendation for transfers from Cape Town and they recommended Carlo and Silvertree Tours for transfers and wine tours. Carlo also handled picking us up/dropping us off in Cape Town for our two nights in Stellensbosch and even decided to have us stop at a brewery on the way to our hotel instead of doing a simple door-to-door. From that moment - we knew we were in good hands! Not sure how long we wanted to commit to wineries on the day of our wine tour, we used their chauffer service which is hourly vs a set schedule... and then had SO MUCH fun with Carlo I think it was 9 hours later he dropped us off at the hotel! Carlo is awesome - he knows a ton about wine, and picked out wineries based on the kinds of wines we told him we liked. We didn't have a pre-conceived list of places we wanted to go and just asked him to pick his favorites! We also stopped at some breweries which my husband loved. His love of the area, his wonderful sense of humor, and his clear positive relationships with the wineries in the area made the day a very special day and one of our favorite memories of our time in South Africa! I highly recommend using his services - they also provide tours in the Western Cape including the Cape Point tour and so forth. When I go back I will definitely be working with him to take care of us again! Thank you again for the wonderful day Carlo!

A few years ago my family and I were looking for someone to help us plan our South African holiday and we discovered Cape Convoy in Trip Advisor. After Rob helpfully answered our questions we booked the Garden Route tour and it was a great decision. We all had a wonderful time, the kids lived Rob and the accommodation was well located. Rob also took us to the Cape of Good Hope and we loved the Penquins. If you're looking for a wonderful tour with a great guy then your search is over! Thanks Rob

Absolute highlight of our trip! We had a fantastic time on the Whale Whisperer boat and all staff made this an unforgettable experience! This trip was a wedding present for our friends who just got married a few days before. We were welcomed by friendly staff when we arrived at the restaurant and then given an interesting intro into the day. After that we walked over to the marina and boarded the boat with the skipper, marine biologist and an animal spotter. We were quickly rewarded with spotting a large group of bottlenose dolphins, then penguins, seals and a couple of sharks. Unfortunately no whales but the Southern Right migrated already. All staff cared for us perfectly throughout the trip and made us feel very welcome. We would recommend this to everyone, great for all ages.

It was a very interactive and informative experience. We also learnt the culture of the Xhosa people including circumcision and how they treat their family members after this ritual. We also saw the great job by the city of Cape Town who are replacing the shacks with a better accommodation. This is tge very informative tour and I'll do recommend to anyone who want to learn about South Africans especially the Xhosas
