Lovely experience with guide and driver. Cesar was knowledgeable and helpful, adjusting our private tour as needed for our group. It was the perfect way to get acquainted with the city and assess how to spend the rest of our time.

Great way to see Cape Town if you're short on time! Hotel pickup was smooth, the views were incredible, and we got to experience places like the V&A Waterfront, Bo-Kaap, and Table Mountain. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour really enjoyable. We never felt rushed and had enough time to take everything in. Highly recommend if you want a great introduction to the city!

It was amazing to see castle of good hope the oldest building remains in south Africa, what excites me most is it's rich history and beautiful design. The castles star shaped structure and thick stone walls show the skill and strength of early builders.

Joseph was an excellent tour guide. We were the only two people on the tour and Joseph was helpful, informative, and personable. Very safe driver.
After our Robben Island tour was canceled due to weather Joseph took the time to take us on a city tour instead. We were able to customize our tour to things we hadn’t already seen. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited. Joseph made sure we had dinner reservations and even took us up Signal Hill for sunset. We had an amazing time!
Joseph arranged a wonderful tour of Cape Town that included an emphasis on history and culture. We visited the Castle of Good Hope and received a great tour of the area. He took us to the Bo Kapp neighborhood as well as the Iziku Museum and the Company Gardens. We visited the site of Nelson Mandela’s speech given upon his release as well as to the top of Signal Hill for breathtaking views of Cape Town. We also visited some of the beach towns such as Camps Bay. It was the perfect blend of a walk through and experiencing the significant culture of Cape Town. We highly recommend Joseph and his tour company. He gave wonderful and personalized service.
