Cape Town Robin island tour - Thank you Fayical for your service and patience. You made the whole Robben Island visit so much times better for me and my family . If you get the chance to do the tour, make sure you request him specifically. His unique perspective is definitely worth experiencing.

Horrible - I didn't make my tour to Robben Island and your guide were not at the agreed point. The trip to Robben Island were cancelled. I wrote for rescheduling my trip for any date before August 20, 2024, no feedback from your side. Very disappointed
