We had an excellent half-day tour visiting Boulders Beach, Cape Point and enjoying the beautiful scenic drive along the coast. Our guide was punctual, friendly and courteous, with excellent local knowledge throughout. What could otherwise have been a relatively simple itinerary was made genuinely interesting and enjoyable by his commentary and insights along the way. A very professional and personable guide, and we would happily recommend him to others visiting Cape Town

We had a great time! Anesu is a very passionate and fun loving guy! The discussions, information were top notch! Looking forward to discovering more parts together in future visits
This tour was incredible, and my parents and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It was easily the highlight of our trip to South Africa. We had the opportunity to see so much of the area, and our guide, Anesu, shared a wealth of knowledge about South African history and culture. It was a pleasure getting to know him, and we enjoyed exchanging stories and learning about each other’s backgrounds. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town. Although the tour lasts about eight hours, the time passed quickly because there was always something interesting to see and learn. We visited the Penguin Colony, Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, Chapman's Peak, and Camps Bay. Since we finished early and the weather was ideal, Anesu suggested a visit to Table Mountain and even dropped us off there, which was a fantastic way to end the day.
Anesu it’s an incredible guy. He has a very funny personality and used it to entertain us while he taught us about everything we saw on her journey.He also gave us firsthand accounts of life in his village. We would highly recommend spending the day with him.
This was such a fun tour! Our driver Anesu Mangwiro was awesome! He was fun, he was respectful, he was informative and kind. He gave us the best tour of the Cape Town area and we got to go to the gardens and the penguins and all of the main touristy attractions. We learned a lot about the cultures and history of the surrounding areas in and around Cape Town. This was the highlight of our trip! I highly recommend!!
We had an absolutely wonderful day tour with Anesu and truly enjoyed every moment of the experience. His jovial personality, humorous storytelling, and engaging sharing about African culture made the journey both educational and immensely entertaining. We especially appreciated hearing about his personal background and experiences growing up in a traditional African upbringing, which gave us a much deeper appreciation of the local culture and way of life. There was never a dull moment throughout the trip, as Anesu constantly kept us engaged with his witty stories — whether they were personal life encounters or real incidents connected to the various tourist attractions we visited. His warmth and sense of humour made the tour feel more like spending time with a good friend than with a guide. Although the weather was unfortunately very poor and resulted in the closure of the Table Mountain visit, Anesu handled the situation exceptionally well. He was resourceful, proactive, and quick to suggest alternative plans for our consideration, while also making all the necessary arrangements smoothly on the spot. His professionalism and flexibility ensured that we still had a memorable and enjoyable day despite the unexpected changes. We truly appreciate the wonderful day we spent with Anesu and are very thankful for the joy and laughter he brought to our Cape Town experience. As we leave Cape Town soon, we would like to wish him all the very best for the future. He is a fantastic guide and a genuinely lovely person to spend time with.
An amazing experience, very informative and engaging. Loved the opportunities given to take in the views and take photos. I loved his energy and ability to make the tour enjoyable. I enjoyed the various notes and detailed information given on specific areas and their history. The time taken on the tour was great. Would love to go again!
Anesu delivers time after time. We enjoyed our tour with him and his knowledge and expertise of the area is top notch. The kids enjoyed his story telling,humour and friendly demeanour. His good communication and timeliness are also commendable.Keep up the good work.
We had a wonder experience with Anesu, he is funny, informed and considerate. We had to detour and get a dischem and he was very understanding. The tour was full of fun times and unforgettable experiences. Thank you Anesu, Jap Shuttle and tours. Will use your services again on our next visit.
We honestly cannot recommend this tour enough, it completely exceeded every expectation we had and ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Cape Town. From start to finish it felt relaxed, personal and genuinely tailored to us, nothing like a rigid or rushed schedule. Our guide, Anesu, was absolutely incredible. He was so knowledgeable about every place we visited, sharing interesting stories and local insight in a way that was fun and easy to follow, but what really made the experience special was his personality. He was funny, warm, and genuinely cared that we were having the best time possible. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, he was constantly checking in, adapting the day to suit what we wanted, and making sure everything flowed perfectly. One of my favourite parts was visiting local markets where Anesu even helped me get a great prices, which made the whole experience so much more fun and authentic. Thanks to him we came away with some amazing finds that we probably would never have discovered on our own. The whole day felt incredibly flexible and effortless, we never felt rushed and we were able to spend time enjoying the places that we loved most. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring Cape Town with a friend who knows all the best spots. By the end of it we were completely in love with Cape Town, and a huge part of that is down to Anesu. If you are thinking about booking this, do it, you will not regret it.

Anesu was the perfect guide for our family of four for a wonderful day in the Cape Peninsula. He catered the itinerary to cover the activities we were most interested in and obviously knew how to adjust the day to minimize wait times and best manage crowds. He did a great job engaging my teenagers and made sure that the entire family had fun. What I appreciated the most was his willingness to share his personal life stories, which added an incredibly rich dimension to our time in Cape Town. This tour is a wonderful way to see all of the incredible sights near Cape Town that are not easily accessible without a car. Anesu was a a very educated guide and a wonderful human. You won’t regret booking this trip - highly recommend.
Very welcoming and caring tour, fun, with insightful explanation of the area.
We had the most wonderful day touring. Anesu is an amazing tour guide. He was very flexible, funny, and knowledgeable. I would 10/10 recommend!
Wonderful tour in a private and comfortable car. Very well organised day and with a fun, interesting and cultural chat with our guide. Fully recommended
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide Anesu was amazing. He modified the trip to suite our needs but made sure we didn’t miss any highlights. He was very pleasant and engaging with all of us and very knowledgeable about the geography and history. We really learned a lot about the local cultures and historical aspects of the Cape and South Africa. I would highly recommend him for any tours. He is the best.
Kelvin took us for two full days of exploring whilst we were in Cape Town for our honeymoon. He was recommended to us by friends who had done tours with him whilst travelling and we absolutely loved every minute, I can absolutely see why they insisted we book with him! We felt so safe and relaxed the whole time and Kelvin thought us so much about the history and traditions of South Africa. We skipped all the queues by doing a private tour and got to squeeze in some restaurants that we wanted to visit in the middle of our tours! Kelvin went above and beyond to make our experience extremely special and memorable. We hope to come back to Cape Town and meet him again some day soon!
He is unbelievable, created so many good memories. He is a super informative guide tour that has a story for everything and will always make you feel comfortable. He is perfect as a guide tour as he will genuinely tell you what ca be possible done based on day and condition . highly recommended
Our family of six had the best time exploring the Cape Peninsula with Anesu! We started with a boat trip to Seal Island, followed by lunch and feeding the ostriches as we made our way to the Cape of Good Hope. On the return trip, we stopped to see the penguins. Everything was absolutely beautiful and so much fun—but it was made 100x better by our incredible and hilarious driver, Anesu. He kept all six of us—ranging in age from 7 to 51—completely engaged and laughing the entire time with his amazing humor and storytelling. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Cape Town, and we would 1000% recommend it to anyone visiting!
We had a phenomenal experience with Anesu on our full day tour which was curated to everything we wanted to see and do. We have done many tours throughout Africa and this was truly one of the best. Anesu was very knowledgeable, kind, and made the experience one we will always remember. If you are looking for a reliable guide in Cape Town he is your go-to guide!
We had a wonderful afternoon on our tour of the penguins and Cape of Good Hope. Anesu was a terrific guide. He shared lots of interesting information about the area and very kind and friendly. We very highly recommend him and his tour
We had a great day discovering the peninsula with a lot of interesting information all the way and fantastic views. Definetely recommend! Thank you for such a great day!
We had an amazing experience with Jap Shuttles around the cape. Anesu is a very knowledgeable guide and for sure an entertainer making our group feel confortable at all times. Thank you for the imacculate experience! Angelos
Anesu thoughtfully curated a full day experiencing the best of the Cape. He was knowledgeable and friendly and flexible. It’s a trip we will never forget.
Fantastic day with Anesu exploring the Cape Peninsula. We saw the major sites and he steered me, literally, to special ones that I wouldn't have know of from the guide books. He was always open to my preferences, and he offered suggestions for my consideration. Fairly priced, super value, and all around a great day. I could not recommend highly enough. In fact, I already did and other friends also had a great day!
Eva was lovely! An excellent, safe driver! We had a wonderful day exploring the peninsula as a family! Car was very comfortable for our family of 5!
Amazing tour, spectacular scenery and overall experience. Anesu is an exceptional guide. Intelligent, articulate, understanding and adaptive. He was exceptional at providing historical data, interesting side notes and personal charm. Definitely book with Anesu you will have a great day
We were recommended to Anesu by the Westin Hotel who booked our site seeing tours to see the penguins & Cape Hope, etc. We also did a wine country tour with multiple vineyards as well. Our experiences with Anesu were very pleasurable and found him to be extremely knowledgeable and engaging. We would highly recommend using his services when visiting the Cape Town area!
We had a wonderful, thoroughly enjoyable fun time with Anesu all day on this tour. So knowledgeable, serviceminded and friendly. We learned a lot about the Cape region and shared many good laughs. Top notch and a more excellent tour guide will not be found! Highly recommend this tour.
We had a great experience of a life time! The Cape town peninsula is awesome. We enjoyed every second. A very professional tour guide. Simply the best in Cape Town.
Jap shuttles tour experience and knowledge is just world class. Anesa is highly engaging and dynamic tour guide that manage our specific interests with the tour. Great sense of humor and history. My best tour guide in 20 year! I will surely be back.
One of the best guides EVER!!! Use him! Professional, friendly and on time!!! He is very knowledgeable and loves to share with you.
We did a half day tour of the Cape of Good Hope with Anesu. He was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and able to adjust the tour to our needs throughout the day. We had a 6 year old and 14 year in our group and he was very good at keeping them engaged and interested. When he realized that a large number of our group was easily motion sick, he changed plans to avoid a windy road and instead took us to an ostrich farm which the kids enjoyed. He was patient and we never felt pressured for time throughout the day. At the end of the tour when one of our party left an item behind in his van, he was kind enough to come back to the hotel and make sure it was dropped off before we checked out the next morning. Highly recommend.
Anesu was an absolute gem as our tour guide and driver! He was punctual every time, impressively knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. His friendly demeanor made us feel at ease, and his expertise navigating the routes was impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Anesu!His passion for sharing his knowledge and ensuring our satisfaction was evident throughout our journey. If you're looking for a topnotch guide who truly cares, look no further than Anesu! #JapShuttlesandTours
Fab tour. Interesting and informative, fun and exciting. Would definitely recommend. Had an unexpected day free in Cape Town. This really filled the gap!
We had an amazing day exploring the Cape Peninsula on this full-day tour. The itinerary was packed with beautiful stops. From penguins at Boulders Beach, charming beach side towns, and an excellent 45 minute mini-hike at the Cape of Good Hope. Anesu, our guide and driver, was excellent! Friendly, funny, and full of local knowledge. He kept the day relaxed and well-organized, and even squeezed in a bonus trip up to Table Mountain for 90 minutes since we had some extra time due to not getting to visit Bo-Kaap (a city-wide marathon or race was blocking the roads). The views up Table Mountain really topped it off. We highly recommend this tour - and if you get Anesu as your guide, you're in great hands!
Anesu was an incredible guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. He took us to stunning spots like the Cape of Good Hope and some beautiful wineries. Every moment was well-planned and unforgettable. Highly recommend him for anyone visiting Cape Town!
Anesu was a great tour guide. Provided relevant and interesting information about each stop. Very clean and comfortable car.
One of our best decisions on the Cape Town trip was to book this tour. They responded quickly, even though I texted them last minute, and almost half an hour later, our driver and tour guide, Adolf, was waiting for us outside the hotel. The tour was amazing, the driver very friendly and stopped in many places along the way for us to enjoy and take pictures. Absolutely recommend!
Anesu is the most incredible guide! His kindness, knowledge of South African history and the way he shares his love and passion for this city and its region are refreshing! My husband and I recommend Anesu at a 1000%
The best guide we had in South Africa !! Anesu was very flexible, informative and enthusiastic. He picked us up at our hotel, changed the itinerary to best fit what we wanted to see, and curated the tour for what we asked. He always gave us the best tips for each stop. He is very knowledgeable and willing to talk about South Africa, its history, the various places we went to, and also shared about his own life and his experience as a local. It was so enjoyable to meet him and to be able to connect with him so easily. This felt like a genuine experience and a unique tour for us. We had great laughs, amazing views, and very informative conversations. Overall, it was an amazing day and we highly recommend this tour.
What a wonderful day we had with Anesu, who was such an amazing and professional guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable, and we was so patient in answering all our questions. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned out, and the car was very comfortable. We had such a fab time that we asked Anesu to take us on another day trip the next day. Thanks again for everything Anesu :)
Anesu is the best guide we had !! He’s so knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and fun ! Our day was a dream thanks to him. If you’re staying in Cape Town, we recommend you to go with Anesu who is just extraordinary !
Thanks you Anesu for a very enjoyable, enlightening and fun day. With a day open for exploring, Anesu came highly recommended from fellow cruisers who had utilized him two days before, and their rave reviews were the truth! Anesu curated a tour based on our wants and time frame, hitting all the hotspots in comfort while he ferried us expertly around in his 5 series BMW. A great way to tour, we highly recommend him.
Jap Shutttles and Tours delivers an on-time, reasonably-priced, personalized guided tour experience. We had the knowledgeable and fun-loving guide named Anesu. Through his wittiness and humor, he educated us about the greater Cape Town area along each stop. He is a safe driver who took us to the best eating spots, spice and craft markets, and wildlife viewings. He provided a local experience, with all of the history and sight-seeing, in a comfortable and digestible way. I highly recommend Jap Shuttles and Tours to anyone going to Cape Town.
Anesu was a such an amazing guide. Not only was he informative but we saw everything in a half day tour which worked for our timeline. . Never felt rushed and we felt comfortable talking about any subject. The car was comfortable and luxurious. Such a beautiful country and what amazing people. I would most definitely recommend Anesu and would tour again with him in a heartbeat.
What an amazing day! Anesu is super knowledgeable, warm, friendly, flexible and respectful. Grateful for my best day in CT.
We had such a great time on our tour of the Cape with Anesu. He was extremely informative and entertaining, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout our day. I highly recommend Anesu for any of your travel needs.
This was a great day out! Our guide was friendly, gracious, and knowledgeable. The scenery, wildlife, and historical context brought things to life. The car was comfortable and clean. Strongly recommended!
Anesu is one of the best tour guides, if not the best I have ever met. I went with my family to Cape Town and he made this trip unforgettable. If you are thinking of doing a tour in Cape Town I recommend Anesu 100%. Pablo F. (México)
