The Worst Black Guide

It was the worst kind of guide. Anyway, he's got a bad attitude. This would have made the taxi driver worse, an incompetent guide who didn't run the course on the calendar. Arrival at the hotel 15:20 We didn't go to Bokarb or Hout Bay even though we had time. There is a video that I was taking videos on my smartphone but I kept being said discriminatory bad things. If I had known English then, I would have hit you hard. I posted the face and footage of the black guide online. Take a look.

Highly recommended - Unmissable trip

We packed so many enjoyable things into this day long trip. Picked up on time from your hotel and without any booking problems. Even taken to an unplanned but great breakfast stop. Mazenga was friendly and informative tour guide and the only criticism would be his tendency to keep repeatedly pressing the accelerator causing a bit of a jerky ride but overall no complaints. He was incredibly helpful in getting me to the front of the long queue at the Boulders Beach and patient as I went on a hour long hike to Cape Point and beyond. Late lunch in a lovely seafood restaurant in the quaint Simonstown was unexpected but really rounded off the day. A highly recommended trip and at a great value price.

A great day out

A really interesting day out with Mazenga. Saw so much, learnt so much not just about the locations we visited but also about Cape Town and its history. Mazenga was happy to chat with me and answer all my questions. Will definitely do this tour again if I can visit with my family.
