Africa Visit and History

This was first called Cape of Stones named by B. Dias in 1488 and only after the King renamed this place as Cape of Good Hope said the tour guide. 8 was impressed how Joseph could know by heart all these dates. So amazing. Our 4 day visit in Cape Town was so instructive and beneficial.

Joseph was wonderful

We had a wonderful experience with Joseph. He was extremely professional, courteous and polite. Our family of five felt like we were in good as he made arrangements and helped in any way he could. The trip was wonderful and the scenic spots were amazing. Joseph was kind to help with photos and did his best to drop off and pick up wherever we wanted. We would strongly recommend him as a guide for any visitors.
