our guide Amani couldnt do enough for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and mid-week so it was quiet.

our guide Diego really knew their stuff and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight ... Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Blew our cape town one out of the water, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question, 10/10

our guide Samir couldnt do enough for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and ran the full 4 hours promised, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
