Perfect! Should Have Done This Day 1 - On our last day in Stellenbosch we decided to take the walking tour from the visitor's center. Juliana was our guide, and she provided both a very good historical overview and a personal perspective of her hometown. Our only regret was that we waited until the last day because she also gave shopping, eating and sightseeing suggestions that we were not able to take advantage of. Next time!

Insightful, interesting tour - Really interesting tour led by Julianna. I’d been to Stellenbosch a couple of times - but she opened my eyes to more of Stellenbosch’s history. Thanks Julianna, excellent tour 🙏🏻

A memorable experience and great start to our stay. - First rate tour of the town. Johan was great fun and very informative. Great walking tours always elevate your holiday experience, understanding the history, culture and how the town evolved makes the visit such much more memorable.

Impeccable service - Very responsive to enquiry about availability despite Christmas season. Excellent commentary on tour from significant history to local tales. All curious questions well addressed. Helpful in storing our luggage during tour and in getting us a taxi back to Cape Town.

Would help if the... - Would help if the presenter could use a headset and speaker or if those of us who were listening had earplugs …. Imlead tours in Israel and those really help when there is noisy traffic and crowds. Lost about 1/2 of the presentation because of the.
