We had such a wonderful experience with Winsley during our time in Cape Town! He was not only an excellent driver, but also an amazing tour guide. He was incredibly friendly, professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable and safe throughout our entire trip. Winsley knows Cape Town extremely well and shared so much interesting information about the city, its history, culture, and all the places we visited. He gave us great recommendations, was always patient and accommodating, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Having Winsley as our driver and guide made our time in Cape Town so much more special and stress-free. We truly enjoyed spending time with him and would 100% recommend him to anyone visiting Cape Town. Thank you, Winsley, for taking such great care of us!

Fully customizable private tour - book your first day in Cape Town with Michel!
We had an excellent tour with our guide, Michel, who was arguably the best tour guide we have ever had for a private tour anywhere in the world. We booked the full day tour, but after a long travel day to Cape Town, we wanted to hit the highlights in a five hour period so we could have some time to rest. Michel took us to the stops we wanted to see - Boulders Beach and Cape Point - and kept us on a timeline to stay within our desired time, and didn’t add any extra stops for sights or shopping. Book your first day in Cape Town with Michel - it’s a great price and you will get exactly what you want!

Enjoyable tour. Would recommend.
Wonderful visit with extremely beautiful and varied locations. Tour guide was personable, knowledgeable and flexible. His quiet demeanour meant that my wife and I did not hear everything, however. However this was a tour that we would thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful coast
It was very difficult for us to understand our guides. He had a very strong accent. He gladly repeated. It helped a little. Regardless, my husband understood very little. Unfortunate, as I'm sure the driver had an excellent understanding of the area. Our tour was 7 hours.
