The operator cancelled the tour late the night before due to few bookings. Please provide a full refund for this booking. The operator did offer additional tours that were running, but I was advised to pay separately for that and request a full refund.
Dear Kevin, We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience as this does not represent our company image and what we stand for as One Day Africa. Full day tours are primarily catered for a group of 2 guests and more. Please note that refunds have been processed. Thank you for working with us.
We had an amazing time with Terrence! Our trip to Robben Island was cancelled due to bad weather and Table Mountain was covered in a thick gray mist. Terrence managed to turn this letdown into a fun day by quickly suggesting we visit Signal Hill to see the para-gliders and recommended an excellent “brai” for lunch. Thanks again Terrence!!
We had a great day with Terrance as our guide and driver. He was really good, great info but also just very friendly, happy to chat about life in SA in general as well as the great sights. Robben island is a thought provoking must see. Table Mountain spectacular even with mist at the top. One of the most relaxing day tours we have done. Thanks Terrance.
Perfect if you are looking for a fun, authentic, and inexpensive night out with a great guide. I definitely recommend.
Absolutely recommend to meeting new friends and stunning places, having good talks as well as amazing location. I will definitely book it again.
Hello. I had a wonderful time on my tour! We went from party to party as my guide showed me and my friends the vibrant nightlife of Johannesburg. We had the best time and it was such a memorable experience. We danced the night away. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great time in Jo’burg.
My One day Africa experience was amazing, enjoyed getting to meet new people and visiting different vanues in one night
Since we are new in the city, we choose this night tour to hang out with some friends and discover cool places in Joburg. The experience was amazing! Sipho took as to Maboneng first for dinner and have some drinks. The vibe of this area is really cool at night with lots of places to hang out. Then, we moved to Melville, to a street full of bars and clubs. We went to a bar named La Santa. We had so much fun! The place was really cool, and the music amazing! Best place for partying. Definetly this tour is the best When you are new in town or you are spending few days, cause isn't easy finding the cool places. Thanks for everything Sipho! You were the best of the tour!
Sipho was a great host taking the group to bars and clubs in different parts of town. It was a truly citizen experience where you can interact with local people and enjoy a real Joburg night out.
