Our day trip to Cape Point with Sebastian was incredible, just my husband & I and we felt very pampered! Sebastian exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond to make certain we had the trip we hoped for, ticking off everything on our wishlist. He worked with us in advance, with exceptional insight and speedy communication to curate a fantastic personal experience. Sebastian’s knowledge of the area and the city ensured a seamlessly coordinated trip. We also appreciated his wonderful commentary about the places we visited- we learned so much!

The Cape Peninsula is amazingly beautiful and Theo’s excellent tour highlighted that. Theo packed as much as possible into this day trip - From beautiful suburbs, wine tasting, stunning coastlines, penguins to the cutest baby ostriches in the Cape Peninsula. Theo had a great knowledge of the area and it’s fauna and flora. It was a privilege to have Theo as our guide. I would join his tours again in a heartbeat.Cape Peninsula tour

We had a great time with Theo in our full day Cape peninsula tour. He is so knowledgeable and friendly, full of cultural and historical knowledge. He took time with us and our questions, giving us the flexibility to do what we wanted rather than follow a specific timeline. He’s a safe driver with a very clean car. We would wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide for any part of Cape Town. Fantastic, Passionate Guide

We spent 10-12 hours with her and she put together a perfect itinerary for my wife and I to see the best sites! Her passion about South Africa and Cape town specifically is infectious. She is a tour guide that turned into a lifelong friend by the end of our day! Additionally she is one of the best drivers I have ever had on a tour :) Kyle & JeanneAwesome guide/ tour look no further!

Spending a day trip with Elizabeth all around the Peninsula was a memorable and perfect experience. Elizabeth was a wonderful host and made us (5 adults, 2 kids) just enjoy the day as friends and not only tourists! Even a small bus for all of us was organized by her. She showed us all the ‚touristy‘ spots as well as some hidden secrets - we loved the lunch at the little oustrich farm and especially the kids the huge ice cream in the local community place in Hout Bay. Still worth a laugh seeing the kids struggeling to handle it 😀 Elizabeth gave us all the needed insights about the places we visited and the animals we saw. Much ‚cooler‘ than school the kids meant 😉 Thanks Elizabeth for that perfect day around Cape Town! It’s with much pleasure we recommend you as a Local Guide for everyone. All the best Marcel & familyA perfect day in Cape Town

Elizabeth was incredibly lovely! I am so glad that we had the opportunity to meet her and explore so much of this beautiful area. If you have time on your trip to book more than one day you definitely should because it is well worth it! Her stories and perspective were so captivating. Elizabeth is very knowledgeable and timed out the day so well that we were able to experience a lot of things to ourselves with little to no queues. She also took us to some amazing places with incredible views that only a few locals know about. In addition to a lovely day, Elizabeth also provided us with excellent recommendations for food, shopping and so much more. We truly enjoyed our time and are happy to have made a lifelong friend in CapeTown!Touring with Elizabeth is a MUST

We got a completely customized tour and instead of being back at the hotel by 4pm, he dropped us of at Camps Bay at 6pm for our last sundowner in CT.

We went on two tours with Daryl ( Scenic Cape Town Peninsula & Cape Town Classics Tour). Daryl was wonderful and went the extra mile to make our visit a special experience. His easy going attitude and knowledge of the area make him a joy to be with. He was extremely helpful in answering our questions which made our tour more enjoyable. At the end of the second tour, we felt that we had lost a good friend. When people say that the Guide makes the the tour memorable, they are right. Our hats off to Darly.... highly recommend him...Daryl, thanks for a wonderful experience Great Guide... makes tour come Alive !!!

Sebastian war mehr als pünktlich für unsere Abholung im Hotel erschienen und erklärte zu Anfang die vorgesehene Tagesroute, die dem entsprach, was wir uns vorab gewünscht hatten. Ein guter Fahrer, der dazu noch gute Erläuterungen zur Umgebung geben konnte. Auch allgemeine Infos über Geschichte, Geographie, Land und Leute hat er gut verständlich gegeben. An Wasser an Bord war gedacht, danke nochmals dafür. Der zeitliche Ablauf war für uns gut, wir waren zur erwarteten Zeit wieder zurück im Hotel. Unsere erste Tour überhaupt in Afrika empfanden wir als sehr gelungen und können sowohl die Plattform „withlocals“ als auch Sebastian uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen. Rundum mehr als zufrieden

Really enjoyed our day touring with Rushdi. Prompt pick-up, spotlessly clean vehicle, and he even provided cold water. He did a great job of sharing context and history as we enjoyed the natural beauty along the peninsula. His choice of lunch stop was outstanding. A gorgeous view in a restaurant with great food and service. Wrapping up the day with a wine tasting in a beautiful setting was icing on the cake. Highly recommend Rushdi!!Excellent Day Touring with Rushdi

Elizabeth was a wonderful guide. Our day with her exploring the tip of the Cape was quite the adventure. Everything from the Cape penguins to the sea scape at the furthest SW tip of the Cape, to the ostrich farm and the vine yards...each one a great experience. She was fun to travel with, knowledgeable, and took care of our needs along the way. In all, she gave us a great value added trip. Highly recommended. Above and beyond!

I and three adult family members spent a wonderful day exploring the Cape Penisular with Elizabeth as our guide. It was our first time in South Africa. She was an exceptional guide, we were fortunate to have found her and I would strongly recommend her. Elizabeth has detailed knowledge of the Cape and obviously loves the place. She was fun company and took great care of us. Her commentary was full of fascinating facts including little gems that bring a place alive. She included everything we asked for in the itinerary, plus a couple of stops she suggested which were great. By following her guidance to leave home early we missed the crowds at the Cape of Good Hope, who arrived in bus loads as we were leaving. Brilliant. A wonderful guide, highly recommended.An excellent guide, highly recommended

He is funny, easygoing with an impressive knowledge of history and his country. We enjoyed our tour, thank you so much! Fantastic experience

My parents loved the day and found Elizabeth to be very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in every regard. They were able to see many special areas that they would never have been able to find without the local expertise that Elizabeth has and would thoroughly recommend anyone to use Elizabeth as a tour guide in the future.Cape of good hope day trip

I have had the most awesome day with Sebastian, I have traveled a fair bit but never had a day like today. When we met at my hotel he asked what I wanted to see, he took me to every place I wanted to see and more. His knowledge of all the places we visited would be second to none and nothing was any trouble to him. As a guy I found him very warm hearted and special as he made my holiday one I will always cherish thank you Sebastian Terry (millwall) Awesome guy

It will be hard to enjoy the rest of my stay after spending a brilliant day in his company. I would say if you want to have a guide who goes that bit more to make your holiday special this is the man. TerryBrilliant Day

It was quite a spontaneous decision for us to go on this tour but we don’t regret we did! Sebastian makes sure you’re comfortable throughout the day, he is very accommodating to your wishes and the mood - he will adjust itinerary to what you want or don’t want to see on the way. He will probably have an answer to any question you have - very knowledgeable about history, nature or everyday lives of the locals. After a day in his car you will surely know more about the culture and local reality than what the tour guide books tell. Importantly, he is a good and safe driver, so you’re in good hands all day. The tour itself is amazing - it will lead you through breathtaking scenery, with Cape of good hope and cape point, Chapman’s peak . On our way we managed to spot ostriches, baboons, penguins and thanks to Sebastian’s gut feel that “something is going on there” even a whale. All in all - I totally recommend a tour with Sebastian. make sure you have your camera with you and it’s fully charged, as he will make sure to stop anywhere you like - to enjoy the moment and capture it on a photo for memories. Stunning views and personal experience

We booked a tour with safwaan last week on our trip to CPT. Safwaan picked us up from the hotel and we asked him to modify the planned itiniery according to the places we wanted to see. Some of the activities which were not even part of the itiniary (for example table mountain) safwaan still took us there as well. He is living there for almost 40 years so he knows the city very well. He is very friendly not only with his clients but also the people around. Some of the things we loved about the tour with Safwaan: • He pays attention to details, for example he'd already pulled out the front seat when he came to pick us up. He was like "there's always a tall guy" so he had already prepared for that so i can sit in back seat with ease. • He offered us that he can take some pictures of us during the tour at different destinatinos where he took us and he took very nice photos of us and sent them to us on whatsapp. Note he's not some professional photographer but he managed to take some very nice candid photos of us which was a really nice gesture. • We did one vineyard tour / wine tasting with him and he informed the staff to let us try some of the wines what he also recommends are best. Our package was for 3 wine tasting but we got some extra upon his request to the vineyard staff. • He knows some really nice restaurants specially because he has background as a chef so he really knows some good food places around. He took us to one local fish restaurant (kalky) at the fish hoek, and it was one of the best fish we ever had. • He is very well informed about culture and political highlights of the country. In case if you would like to understand about culture / people of the country he will give you a complete background story about different areas, different people as well many tourist spots and the history behind them. • We spotted penguins and seals. • Friendly, easy going and he goes extra mile to make sure his clients have a great tour, a great host to have. Thankyou, Mustafa & Katy Safwaan is awesome
