Half-day Stellenbosch wine tour from Cape Town with two tastings, cheese and biltong pairings, town walk, and optional diamond add-on.
“Our big group enjoyed the tour. There was a lot of wine involved, and it was cool to see two different wineries as well as the Stellenbosch town. The first winery was a better experience than the second. Our tour guides/bus drivers were excellent and offered us very helpful information. They even went out of their way to pick us up even though we were not in their pickup zone.”

“Excellent tour with our guide Marc who was an excellent, respectful and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. It was refreshing to spend our day with an extremely professional and positive tour operator. He made sure we were relaxed and having a good time throughout the tour. The tour was delivered to perfection from start to finish. We were picked up on time and extremely well looked after by Marc. Thank you Marc! Keep up the good work!”

“Leon was a great tour guide and a great guy! It was a pleasure to spend half a day with him!”
A half-day great white shark cage experience from Gansbaai with breakfast, gear, hot showers, and 20-minute cage sessions, weather permitting.
“This was horrible- long and far from Cape Town, poor communication, and no one told us that the Great White are no longer coming around the waters they cruise. They did not even put the cage in the water and only 2 sharks came and went. NOT worth the money or the time. The only saving grace was the scenery down to the dock.”

“It was soo nice! Our guide was supernice, we really enjoyed it.”
Half-day Cape Town township tour: District Six Museum, Langa walk, optional Shebeen beer tasting, and stories from locals.
“Slightly above Average experience. The Guide was a really nice and passionate guy, he helped me understanding what was going on nowadays and how the townships were born. The tour itself was ok, it was quite commercial. They walk you around the township however it lacks a bit of depth in the life of people. Would recommend other people to go to find out what’s really going on in the townships.”
A guided half-day into Soweto’s most meaningful spots, from Vilakazi Street to Hector Pieterson Museum and an informal settlement visit.
“A nice way to visit Soweto. I definitely recommend!”

“We had an absolutely fantastic time on our half-day tour! Our guide, Leticia, was amazing—knowledgeable, engaging, and so passionate about sharing her expertise. She made sure we didn’t miss any highlights, including a visit to the Afrogems Museum, which was a unique and fascinating stop. Leticia went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much as possible and truly made the experience memorable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore and learn more in a fun and enriching way!”
Cape Town in 4 hours, Table Mountain cable car views, Bo-Kaap stories, Castle of Good Hope, and a Diamond Works stop with hotel pickup.
“Not too much to say. Saw what I wanted to see. I wasn’t happy that the people who booked this tour canceled and I was the only one. It’s always nice to be with others. But I had private tour.”
4-hour guided half-day safari in Addo Elephant National Park, small group, closed Toyota safari vehicles, snacks and drinks included.
“We had an awesome day, with our great guide Donald. He did his outmost to contact other guides finding out the different sightings to make the safari the best ever. Thanks Donald 👍”
A 4-hour Cape Town highlights tour that hits Company Gardens, Bo-Kaap, Camps Bay, and Table Mountain (weather permitting), with guide-led stops.
“Excellent tour of the city. You get to see so much in just half a day! Many historical places, museums and also a tour to the top of Table Mountain. The guide (Dillon) gives you time to appreciate the locations and to take pictures. He also shares his knowledge about the different parts of the city. I strongly recommend!”
