Great trip! TK was so helpful and always available to help. The hostels we stayed in were amazing and the activities even better, I strongly suggest the elephant walk, bungee jumping and sandboarding.

We didn’t actually do a tour so I ticked the. ‘Other’ button. We specifically wanted to go to lunch at the De Grendel Winery but although we are not big drinkers we both wanted a drink of wine so couldn’t use our hire car to drive there. We were staying in Stellenbosch and Jake was very punctual in picking us up. He took us there and left us for our lunch. He hung around the area and was there to pick us up when we needed him. On the way back he took a different, more scenic route and told us a lot about the area on the way. It was all very efficient and friendly. If I was to return and want to do a wine tour, I would choose this company.

Will definitely book with Citi Shuttles again, they provided a reliable airport transfer, patiently waiting for delayed flights late at night. They were also great value for money.
