Best of Port Elizabeth

Kyle was an outstanding tour guide, he is beyond knowledgeable. He shows us around the city and to the sandy coast where the lighthouse is standing all by its lonesome. The best part of the trip. I asked him about local eateries. He took us to “This is Eat”, a local Halal Seafood house by the fishermen wholesales area. The owner and his staff was so courteous and wonderful. We have the best Calamari and fish and chips ever. They are fresh, tender and juicy. Best wishes go out Kyle, This is Eat and Port Elizabeth. We have a wonderful day trip

Port Elizabeth City Tour

Great sightseeing Tour with Kyle from Urban Africa Tours. It was a city tour but also took in a couple of beautiful beaches. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and would highly recommend.

Port Elizabeth day tour.

Look for the less recognized places and explore nuance in more recognized ones. Explore the history of the Apartheid era in the South End museum.
