Amazing trips in Cape Town - Based on our excellent experience we also did a short winery tour plus another full day tour to Robben island and Table mountain. Our tour guide/driver was knowledgable, prompt and great at staying in touch to ensure best pick up points. No hesitation in using the company again and recommending the to others.

Penguin and Art at Cape Point - Great tour with lots to see mainly the white sand beaches. It really is a diverse tour with beautiful landscape and the wild animals. But for me and my family the highlights were the penguin colony in Simon's Town and the Redhill sculptures. The wooden and stone sculptures are amazing. The best part of this art deal is the prices as they are sold by the owners. We were able to negotiate great prices. . Thanks to the guide Kennedy
