Customized tour, best day ever! - Our guide Shavick was wonderful! We let him know what we wanted to do and he customized the tour to be exactly what we wanted. The olive tasting had a huge array of different olive products to try and we enjoyed the cute farm house setting. We spent the rest of the day in wildflower heaven at the West Coast National Park. We toured in Sept during the peak wildflower season. There were endless fields of multicolored flowers spanning across mountains, ocean, and lagoon views. It was a photographer’s paradise. We saw flamingos, zebras, ostriches, many birds, gemsbuck, and eland. Shavick stopped the car for me to get out and take photos anytime I wanted. If it is not wildflower season the area close to the entrance of the park is still very beautiful with a lagoon, sand dunes, and ocean views. I highly recommend this private tour to allow you to pick and choose the most ideal experience for you!

Stunning Private Full Day tour w/Alex! - M My husband and I wanted to see the western Cape region through the lenses of history, culture, and nature. We were lucky to get Alex as our guide. He met us at our hotel lobby with a beautiful new Mercedes C class. He started in the historic regions of the city including Bo-Kaap, the Castle of Good Hope, and Parliament explaining the unique history of the region giving us just the right amount of detail. We then drove along the Atlantic coast seeing Chapman Road with its stunning views. Alex knew just where to stop and helped us orchestrate great pictures when necessary. We saw Seal Island and penguins at Boulders Bay among other things. Alex guided us and helped us buy the right tickets, showing us where to go for the best views eliminating all stress. Then he booked a lovely lunch for us at the waterfront restaurant Saveur in Simons Town. One of the highlights was Cape point NP, where we hiked and drove through the game lands. Alex is a great game spotter setting us up for wonderful pictures. He even found baboons when we hadn’t seen them all day - which was a special request of ours. We were pleasantly tired at the end of our adventurous day and would highly recommend a private tour. Alex was great!

Fantastic day tour from Cape Town. - We had a wonderful day with Kevin who went out of his way to make sure we saw all the sights we wanted, and even took us to a few extra places we didn’t know about. He was very knowledgeable and informative and really looked after us, I highly recommend this tour company and our excellent guide Kevin Basseko!

Fantastic! - Rodney was our tour guide and picked us up right on time at our hotel. He was very personable and knowledgeable about Cape Town. We quickly set off for our tour. This tour lasts around 8 hours so prepare for a long day but we’ll worth it. It basically lets you see a lot that Cape Town has to offer in one tour. You do stop for lunch and there is even time for some shopping for souvenirs! A must do!

To really appreciate The Cape you... - <p>To really appreciate The Cape you need o take this tour. It reveals a completely different landscape and lifestyle. If you like good food I can highly recommend the Leeto Restaurant in the Strandloper Hotel in Paternoster - it is a simply fantastic shore front location with great food and elegant architecture.</p>

Very Disappointing Tour - Oct 2, 2019 We went on this tour. This tour makes a point of stressing the importance of seeing the magnificent floral and negation displays at the Park. What the tour company failed to inform us was that the display and park area closes to all traffic on Sept. 29th. We feel the tour company Kabura Travel & Tours should have informed us of this. They chose not to and as a result we made the trip up there (several hour) only to be told that the area we paid to see was closed. In fact our guide (a sub contracted tour guide, excellent fellow-no complaints) was not made aware of this also. He planned on us grabbing lunch at the park restaurant but even that was closed, he also was unaware of this. We strongly feel that this tour company had only one thing in mind when they booked this tour for us--make some money. I cannot in good faith recommend the credibility of this tour company. In closing we feel our driver depended on the information from the tour company and should not be held responsible.

It would be 0 stars - but you can’t review a tour that low!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Right where do we start? The advertisement on Viator states under what to expect that you do the following: 1. Be picked up from your hotel in Cape Town and will pass through Bloubergstrand and Big Bay while drinking north. 2. You will visit Darling for olive tasting. 3. Will visit !Khwa ttu village of the San people. 4. Will visit Yzerfontein in whale watching season, where you may see whales. 5. Visit the West Coast National Park to see the flowers in August and September ( duration 1 hour) 6. Visit Langebaan the jewel of the Cape West Coast. 7. Visit the West Cost Fossil Park. 8. Visit the Simply Bee Observation Centre. So you might ask what was the issue? Well let’s see shall we: 1. Be picked up from your hotel in Cape Town and will pass through Bloubergstrand and Big Bay while drinking north in a private vehicle ( with WiFi & bottle water) We had no issues with this aspect of the trip and were picked up from our accommodation on time by our driver, however, the vehicle was substandard with a cracked windscreen, plus there was no WiFi or bottled water. 2. You will visit Darling for olive tasting. The visit to Darling did not take place and there was NO olive tasting. 3. Will visit !Khwa ttu village of the San people. This aspect of the trip took place and was informative and satisfactory. 4. Will visit Yzerfontein in whale watching season, where you may see whales. Even though it was whale watching season we didn’t go anywhere near Yzerfontein and therefore couldn’t even look for whales! 5. Visit the West Coast National Park to see the flowers in August and September ( duration 1 hour) OK, so the flowers and scenery in the park are lovely and well worth a visit. However be aware that the area where the flowers are, is at the far end of the park in an area which is closed to the public outside of the flower season. It is a 25km drive on uneven dirt tracks to get to the flower area which is a minimum of 40 minutes each way, even if you don’t stop to look at the views. The tour allows one hour for this section of the tour - be aware it is impossible to visit and see the flowers in one hour. 6. Visit Langebaan the jewel of the Cape West Coast. Same as the earlier aspects of this tour, I have still not seen Langebaan, never mind visited it. It could be a ghost town for all I know. 7. Visit the West Cost Fossil Park. Well, did we or didn’t we visit the West Coast Fossil Park? I suppose the answer is yes and no - let me explain, we arrived at the fossil park at 14:55hrs only to be told by reception that the last public tour of the park had taken place at 14:00hrs. So we spent a few rand for a 5 minute walk around their small museum. NOT the visit and tour we had expected. 8. Visit the Simply Bee Observation Centre. Can someone please explain to me what the Simply Bee Observation Cemtre is and how it works, because once again we neither visited it nor saw any bees! So you might think my review was finished, well you guessed wrong. In our clapped out vehicle, with its broken windscreen (no WiFi and no bottled water), our driver continually, throughout the journey, broke the speed limits on the R27 even though there were average speed enforcement cameras on several long stretches of this road. Well you have guessed correctly, on the way back to Cape Town we were stopped by the Highway Police, because our driver had been consistently speeding. Fifteen minutes later we continued our journey back to Cape Town with one very unhappy driver who had received a speeding ticket and merit points on his licence. All in all not the day we had been expecting and we definitely would not recommend this trip to our worst enemy.
