What to do and see in Western Cape, South Africa: The Best Cultural Tours
South Africa’s most popular tourist destination offers the urban thrills of Cape Town, its adjacent wine country and an aura of the rich political history of South Africa. The Overberg's perfect whale-watching perches provide excitement of a different nature. The Garden Route's lakes and forests and the Klein Karoo's ostrich-farming towns and vineyards present another take on the Cape. For extra kicks, try bungee jumping or cage-diving among Great Whites.

Andy took a small group of friends to Die Strandloper last weekend and was absolutely great. The Van/bus was very clean and roomie and Andy was very friendly. We forgot a few things and Andy was very helpful in getting us organized again. I got quotes from a number of other shuttle operators and Andy had the best rates. Would highly recommend.

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.

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.
