Memorable Tour - Had a wonderful tour with Kelvin as our guide. Our first stop was Langa Township with Glen as our local guide. It was a real eye opener as to the hardships these people live under and something we will never forget. We then went to the Castle of Good Hope which was very interesting as we had already visited the other two sites in this tour on a previous one. Kelvin was a great guide, easy to understand and the minivan was very comfortable and clean.

Cannot wait to book again! (Ad we ready have!) - Whenever you go on a tour you know within the first 5 mins whether your day is going to be good or not - it’s all about how good the guide is. Well I have to say out your guide Albert was 10*. He went above and beyond on so many occasions . We have two young girls so a tour with us is not the easiest, especially as one is travel sick, but Albert gave us a great day and we all came away from it feeling as though we had the best day! Albert worked around us with the timings and what we wanted to do, he made sure the girls saw all of the animals and we got great photos too! Xavier was extremely helpful with the bookings in getting everything organised and letting us confirm at last moment due to the change in flights! I can honestly say if you do not do a tour with these guys you will be disappointed, they were just fantastic and I cannot sing their praises enough. We made a couple of last minute transfer bookings and they just sorted it all straight away with no issues and also very competitive pricing. Thank you for a great day and also for the fantastic friend we have made in Albert!

Eye Opener - We had an eye opening township experience.We learned about the Xhosa culture that still exist among the residents of Langa Township as well as how the majority of South Africa get by on a daily basis.A braai (barbercue) Lunch at Mzolis restaurant was good way to wrap up our informative day that had us learn to appreciate the little things that one has in life.We highly recommend this tour to any open minded person willing to step out of their comfort zone and see the other side of the glamorous Cape town.Thank you Zingi for a great day!
