We spent a few days in Cape Town, however we would have missed so much if we didnt do this tour. Our guide not only took us to interesting places but he knew so much about each place and you could tell he really has a passion for Cape Town, its history and its people. Table Mountain was a big tick off the bucket list and our guide knew the perfect time for us to go in order to avoid the crazy long lines we had heard of. The best view of Cape Down is from way up in the clouds and we loved every part of the day !

This company, BornInAfrica, is amazing. I had the pleasure of dealing with their owner Dave. Dave was very quick to respond to all my queries (quite a few!) and really thought with me as to how to make the best out of my experience. I had severe time constraints but Dave managed to work around these. Even with 24 hours, Dave and his team are able to get you a wonderful game drive. The tour is great value and seems very well organised. Unfortunately due to a covid test requirement which arrived late, I never was able to fly to South Africa. Dave was very understanding and is wonderful to do business with. I am already in the process with Dave to reschedule for a date in the future. I can genuinely say BornInAfrica and Dave is an amazing team and you will not be disappointed dealing with them.

We had a fantastic day out with Marlene on the Cape of Good Hope and Constantia tour. She is a really interesting guide, a careful driver, and a whole lot of fun.We loved the rugged beauty of the Cape and the fantastic wineries of Constantia. Marlene is a very considerate guide and went out of her way to show us the ostrich farm when my wife missed spotting one on the way the the Cape of Good Hope lighthouse! We hope one day to return to the beautiful city of Cape Town when this terrible situation in the world has passed and we would love to spend time again with Marlene.

There is so much more than what is shown on the tour. More than half of the areas are locked. I think they could really make more of an effort to show the entire castle even if they charge more.
