We had an absolutely wonderful day with Paul! He is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. From the very beginning, it felt like a friend had come to pick us up rather than a tour guide. The car was spotless, the drive was comfortable, and Paul adjusted the pace of the tour entirely to our wishes. He made the whole experience relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended if you’re planning a Cape Peninsula tour. Thank you, Paul, for such a fantastic day!

Wonderful tour with Paul around the Cape Peninsula. He was friendly, informative and tailored the day to our wishes. It was a great day with highlights being the penguins and Cape Point. We highly recommend this tour.
A clear recommendation, and in my opinion an absolute must if you really want to get to know Cape Town. You explore the city’s highlights, receive important information, and get an answer to every question. Spending time with Sam feels more like visiting a friend you didn’t know you had until then. Funny, likeable, dedicated, and motivated — Sam embodies all of it. A clear recommendation and an absolute insider tip for experiencing Cape Town authentically.
We spent a really great day with Samuel. The tour has been very comprehensive of everything that the Cape of Good Hope Peninsula has to offer. Samuel is really knowledgeable, friendly, kind and flexible in adjusting the itinerary as we go to make us happy with what we wanted to see. He also made us see many animals and guided us in the peninsula skipping lines in a very effective way. Super recommended!
We had an absolutely great day with Paul, one of the partners in this enterprise. He treated us a friends and not customers. His knowledge of details was amazing and his sharp eye to catch things that we might miss was a real bonus. Paul was genuine in his descriptions and at not time did we ever think that he was doing something from a script. We have no hesitation in highly recommending either Samuel or Paul the two operators of Elsam
Our tour guide was great—very professional and friendly. The whole trip was well organized, and we learned a lot from the interesting facts he shared. The car was very good - clean and comfortable. The guide was also very considerate, always checking in to make sure everything was okay. I would definitely recommend this guide to anyone looking for a good and enjoyable tour.
Highly recommend this very customized tour. It was our second full day in Cape Town. Samuel was a few minutes early and quickly assessed which local sights we had already seen. He then developed an itinerary based upon our experiences and quickly decided to reverse the route so as to optimize our day with him, accounting for traffic and weather. We had a beautiful day seeing the penguins and traveling to the Cape of Good Hope, arriving before throngs of people who were arriving as we departed. Samuel provided detailed information about, not only South African history, but also flora and fauna. He added in a stop to an ostrich farm and took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch. After we opted out of a boat ride to see the seals, he added in a visit to a jewelry manufacturer where we learned about how diamonds are cut. Samuel also included the beautiful Chapman’s peak drive, which is not to be missed. We highly recommend this experience!
This is such a great trip to see a large number of sights outside Cape Town. Our guide Samuel was fantastic - very informative and great company - we got a real insight into the country from a local which added to the experience. I really recommend it! Thank you Samuel!!
What an incredible experience! This all-day tour of Cape Town and Cape West was the perfect way to take in the natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture of South Africa. From the moment we were picked up by our driver, Thiam, everything was seamless and well-organized. Our guide was not only knowledgeable and worldly, but also warm and engaging—highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Cape Town!
We had a great day, travelling at our own pace . We stayed longer at sites along the coastline, absorbing the beauty of the shoreline
Where to begin…. Sam started out as so welcoming and nice to us. He asked for our desires or needs and made sure we did everything we asked to do. We decided to book him an additional day to show us around a couple other places we wanted to see and he was more than happy to take it. It was a blast getting tours from him. He gave you some history of the island, made some jokes, and gave us insight on some of the shops. All in all it was a blast getting a tour and spending the couple of days with him.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Some light amusing conversations some deeper conversations, at all times comfortable. Amazing scenery. We would certainly recommend Samuel for your next tour.
We had an excellent time with Sam. Very good person, knows a lot about the history of the place. The tour was interactive, and punctual to the places described. We highly recommend it.
Booked this tour as my wife and I had not rented a car but wanted to see the penguins and Cape of Good Hope. We received so much more than a simple driving tour. Sam was extremely personable, funny, and knowledgeable. We were picked up at our hotel promptly at 8am to start the tour (arrived back at 5pm). We made some unplanned stops to take photos or for Sam to explain the history behind a specific area. Sam was able to customize our experience to skip certain aspects we were not interested in, such as seal island. We are already thinking of booking with Sam again when we are back in Capetown. Would HIGHLY recommend Sam (the man!) for a tour that gives you plenty of history, sites, and a nice lunch stop along the way!
Elsam was great company and a wonderful host! Very knowledgeable and prompt, we really enjoyed our day with him on the tour. Highly recommend for your next trip to Cape Town!
Sam was an excellent tour guide. I would highly recommend him, he was very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome!!
The tour was amazing! Sam was very friendly and knowledgeable throughout the experience. Each stop on the tour was great, I definitely recommend!
Nice and beautiful views, remarkable memories about a unique place on earth. Would I have more time if love to ride a bike here.
We had a very enjoyable tour with our guide, Elsam. He was friendly, flexible, and accommodating to our needs. He always made sure we were ok and made every effort to ensure that we were enjoying our tour. Elsam is very knowledgable, he thoroughly answered our questions and did a great job explaining the history and culture of Cape Town and its people. He took us to the "Must See" places and we even made a few stops that we were curious about. If you ever visit Cape Town and need a tour guide who is honest, friendly, polite, trustworthy, and experienced; Elsam is the Best!
100% recommend Sam. He the best guide I have come across and has in depth knowledge and information to share. We liked the flexible option and could visit Table mountain too :)
On our honeymoon we opted for a full day private tour with Sam and it was one of the best decisions we made! Sam was insightful, funny and the perfect guide for a full day tour. He made the whole day very special for us and was like our travelling photographer bringing us to some of the most scenic points on the Cape and taking loads of pictures for us which we will treasure forever. The day went by very quickly and we also stopped for some amazing food on the way too. We cannot recommend a private tour with Sam enough - we are looking fwd to returning to Cape Town and doing some different tours with him :)
Sam was an excellent host for the day. He showed us all the best places on the Cape and at the same time gave us privacy so we could have a birthday lunch looking out over the point. I highly recommend Sam if you are thinking of booking a full day tour. Zoe and Richard
We had an excellent tour. Samuel, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly explaining and taking to us. He arrived just before time and waited for us. Although the day was rainy, we saw a lot of things and he made our day unforgettable.
Awsum experience tour guide was so supportive and helpful with us and also catched every corner with wonderful views and beauty
Sam provided a fun and tailored tour of Cape Town. We had a chance to discuss items I wanted to see as well as learn about areas I wasn’t aware of. Not only were we able to cover all the items on the list but some additions as well. He is very knowledgeable of history, the area and answered many questions. You will have an excellent time with a safe and trusted guide.
Sam guided us six friends on a wonderful guided tour of the Cape peninsular. Sam was thoughtful, knowledgable and amusing throughout making this a tour that we will never forget. He knows all the best vantage points and eating places ensuring you can make the very best of your time. No hesitation in recommending his services.
We were blessed with a wonderful day led by Samuel. The day began with our asking a personal favor to make a quick stop at another hotel which Samuel gladly obliged. After taking care of a brief bit of business, he whisked us off to all the wonderful sights of Cape Town and the peninsula. Our first stop of the day was Groot Constantia Wine Farm where we enjoyed sipping wines from the oldest winery in Cape Town (we also purchased a bottle to enjoy that evening) Our day was filled with so many sights I can barely remember them all; Penguins, Seals, African Antelope, Ostriches along the beach, a tortoise, lighthouses, and ocean scapes that were jaw-dropping! We enjoyed a delicious lunch overlooking the bay and a quaint little town. Although the weather did not cooperate to experience Table Mountain and its spectacular views, the day couldn’t have been better!! Samuel was a delight to be with and the day was over before we knew it. If you are going to be in Cape Town you must book a private tour and ask for Samuel to be your guide. The price was extremely reasonable and worth every cent!
Sam truly made our tour unforgettable! From the moment we met, his warmth and friendliness made us feel very relaxed. Throughout the trip, he made sure we were comfortable. He also shared interesting little facts about the area with enthusiasm. What stood out was Sam's flexibility – he was open to our suggestions and adapted the itinerary to suit our interests. Thanks to his expertise and genuine care, we had an incredible time exploring with him. I can't recommend Sam enough as a tour guide for an unforgettable adventure!
Since I only had a day left out of a 4days trip in Cape Town, I really wanted to make the most of it. Therefore I booked the full day visit the day before and it went amazingly well! Samuel was very attentive to all my requests, suggesting the best options and was even taking all photos that I’ve asked the way I wanted! I can only recommend you to go with him, he knows perfectly the places he takes you to and shares his knowledge and jokes haha! Thank you again Samuel!
Adorei a experiência. Samuel foi muito atencioso durante todo o tour. Explicando bastante sobre a história de cada local.
When I visited Cape Town on my own, I used it because I only had one day. I'm not that good at English, but I gave easy-to-understand explanations throughout and attended to the journey freely and safely to suit my wishes. I would like to see him again when I go to Cape Town.
