Fantastic trip with lots of interest - Excellent full day tour and a great way to see around beautiful Cape Town. We were fortunate just to be the only two on the trip and had our guide Tariq’s full knowledge. He made our trip really fun and engaging, helping us to understand more about the culture and heritage, taking time to point out key things of interest. Tariq also made sure he helped us capture lots of photos of our experience and was always on hand to take the camera shots for us. Although the weather was rainy/cloudy/foggy and sunshine it didn’t detract from the experience. The penguins at Boulders Beach are worth a visit if the queue is short and the lunchtime stop off point was great with good food served.

A day in Cape Town. - A great tour. Gives good overview of the area. We were given VIP treatment, there were only four of us in the car and our guide/driver - Taariq. He is knowledgeable, professional and very accommodating. Highly recommended for people on very short visit to Cape Town.

Great day with Taariq! - A brilliant busy day where we saw Bokap, Cape fur seals, nesting penguins, wine tasting and much more. Taariq was very knowledgeable and very accommodating to any of our requests, including going out of his way to go to a market where we could pick up some souvenirs. Overall brilliant day, stress free and plenty to see!

Cape Town: See It All! - Upon our arrival in Cape Town, we felt very unprepared in the sense of not having much knowledge of the area nor having anything booked except the hotel and THIS one tour. To skip to the good part, we left our tour with the largest smile on our face and a new friend who doubled as our personable tour guide/driver, Taariq. He immediately made everyone on the tour feel so comfortable with his friendly temperament, interesting storytelling, and keenness to help take our photographs (super appreciated as we were on the tour to create content for my job). As the tour went on, Taariq handled all stops professionally by slipping general safety rules into the conversation before we parked as to not waste time when we arrived, as well as entertain the whole car with historical and cultural facts/stories. By the time we got to the last stop at the winery, the group of us and guide Taariq were sat around a table laughing and swapping our own stories (pictured below). I cannot recommend this tour anymore highly— I would even go as far to request Taariq! Though we did meet another guide briefly at the winery who also seemed like a very fun and easygoing guide. It is a wonderful tour.

A good day trip - A good tour on the Cape Peninsula with two knowledgeable guides, two Gareths. We saw a lot, but it never felt rushed. Early pickup, but when we saw the queue of cars outside the Cape of Good Hope when we left, it was definitely worth being early to avoid the crowds.

Cool tour. - Regarding the guide, we had a dude called Dylan. He's very chill, friendly and knowledgeable, so he talked to us a lot about the history of the place and showed us some cool places. You want him (and only him) as your guide. Regarding the tour, there's definitely options for people with non-standard interests/worldviews (vegetarian, halal, teetotalers, older people, you name it). Everyone and their mother can have a great time with Dylan. If you go in the summer, though definitely a hat (and maybe even long sleeves) is a good idea.
