Amazing historic site with the guide being a former political prisoner. We loved it, thank you. Would definitely recommend for anyone travelling to Cape Town.
Hi Daniel, Many thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to review the tour, we appreciate it very much. You have a heart of gold, thanks for your kindness we wish you and your family all the best for the future. With warmest regards. Jameel
Best tour ever. We actually did the tour December 2022 but due to other life events taking over I never got round to writing a review. Today I was clearing old emails and this prompted my memory. I saw a few negative reviews which angered me and prompted me to write this very overdue review so @ Faz please accept our sincere apologies. My husband and I booked this after a 3 week cruise from Lisbon to Cape Town. My expectation was to be picked up and dropped off at the ferry terminal and collected after the island tour and dropped off at hotel but what a wonderful unexpected day we had. Faz collected us from our hotel bought us snacks for the island, gave us a quick tour of the V&A area with very helpful dos and don’t advice. On return from the island she took us on a tour of sites including the lesser known sites followed by more local delicacies and coffee. Throughout the tour Faz was funny informative interesting warm considerate and interested. .The day spent with Faz was the highlight of our time in Cape Town and I will be forever grateful for her insight into life in South Africa pre and post Apartheid. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough and if you have the privilege of having Faz as your guide you will have a great day with even greater memories. Best wishes Mary & Gary
Hello Mary and Gary how lovely to read your review:) You are far too kind, we are sure she also had a lovely time being with you both. I wish you love, happiness, longevity, health and lots of cruises that is not too big with long restaurant queues! :) Hope to meet you again in the future here in our beautiful mother City. Jameel.
Faziela is a godsend! She is attentive and kind. The tour was flawless. We had a relaxed, complimentary lunch at a restaurant close to the harbor before boarding a nice, modern boat to Robben Island. Once arrived, we smoothly reached our bus to the site. Our guides were all exceptional. 10 out of 10!
Ha! Erica... FLAWLESS... this is a first time we received this fabulous word (*_*) MANY MANY thanks. U were a lovely sweet attentive guest and very grateful for small things :) We happy to hear you've enjoyed. HAPPY NEW YEAR! wishing you lots of love, happiness, loads of holidays and a humurous husband who will love and respect you. You WILL get to the altar after your travels! Best Regards. Faz
Faziela our guide was fantastic and tour is very informative . Must do if you want to walk in Mandela and other political prisoners' shoes. After tour,Faziela organised lunch for us at the Silo hotel rooftop restaurant, top drawer stuff !
Hello there Martin! you were such a cool calm and collective soul. Indeed a Dream Maker making your dreams as well as your family's come true! What a lovely time we had! I will always remember your generosity may you be blessed with more prosperity, happiness and have lots of holidays! Enjoy Christmas and be safe. Faziela
She was very knowledgeable about the history of South Africa and CapeTown and was able to take to places I would not have gone otherwise.

Faziela went out of her way to exchange my ticket for another day when the ferries couldn't go due to poor weather and everything got overbooked. She drove me around the city to see some other sights, saving the day with her experience, stories to tell and her high spirits. I had an amazing day with an amazing guide. Thank you so much!
Martina! how lovely to read your words. Seems like all Martina's are amazing! You were similar to Martina from Austria, very kind, warm hearted and down to earth, easy to be with like a friend. I hope you remember my words... Wishing you well as you are beautiful outside and inside. Many thanks for taking time out to review us, it is truly appreciated. With thanks and Gratitude. Faziela.
Visiting the famous prison and meeting an actual political prisoner who was gaoled there. Both guides on Robben Island were very powerful. Faziela went out of her way to try to resolve some of the problems I encountered in Cape Town. Full marks and thanks to her for all her help.
Hello Ian, I'm glad to hear you are safe home. Indeed the guides share their amazing stories albeit sad. Everyone definitely should visit Robben Island if they are interested in SA history. It waa a pleasure to help you. Let me take this opportumity to share some some safety tips as per our Cape Town Tourism given to all guests. 1. Please do not give any money to beggars in tbe street. 2. Do not draw money at ATM on the streets, cards are widely accepted. 3. Do not pay anyone who say there is a protests ahead or you need to pay for street taxes 4. Dd not walk alone at night 5.Safety in SA is as per any City of the World. Many thanks we appreciate you booking our tour Wishing you health and goodness always. Faz
I would highly recommend Faziela and her son Shyaibab at ML Sultan Travel. They are kind, funny, and very informative. They went above and beyond on the tour. Sincerely Scott Warren-USA
Hello there Scott. It was indeed an absolute pleasure to spend the day with your kind self. Hah! you surprised me with your prompt review, I thought you said theres so much to do, birdwatching, meditating, just chilling and enjoying your retirement! I hope you will remember the mad dash we had to the noon gun and the shortest visit ever to Table Mountain! *_* Wishing you safe travels to the mountains in the East... Hope you get to go. With lots of thanks once again.. We appreciate you very much. Faziela and Shuaib.
Both mum and son duo were so informative and friendly.. Picked me up and got to my tour on time. Did a surprise trip prior the tour to different areas of cape town explaining each and event in detail. Following by a complimentary lunch. Highly recommend.
Hello There Chet! It was indeed a pleasure to have met you. Both Shuaib and I enjoyed your company. Very easy going you were, an attentive listener and a youngster with a BIG HEART. Very respectful soul indeed we value you. Wishing you well for your future. Hope you get to see all those places on your bucket list.
