We were nice experience for 4days

Oudtshoorn & knysna's accommodations were nice. Yacht club is good place for us in knyna. Paul Coetzee is good guide. I recommend him.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words ladies. You were my first guests from Korea and you were a pleasure to host. I hope South Africa will always be a special place in your heart.

Spectacular lanscape

We were surprised to get a private guided tour! We had Paul the owner of simply explore South Africa. He was very gentle and attentive but not enough knowledgeable. We had 3 nights accommodation. 1st night in Oudtshoorn -el dorado - 5 stars. Other 2 nights in knysna - unsatisfactory. Also South african’s barbecue was disappointing.

Operator response

Hi Danafo It was a pleasure hosting your lovely family. Your son, Ben was a delightful child. In response, I have to admit the salad for your barbeque was not as fresh as we would have liked. Our typical South African barbeque has always been a highlight of the tour so in future we will make our own salad and not rely on the purchased product. Regarding the accommodation in Knysna. You originally booked for a triple room. However as you were two ladies and a male son, I gave you a free upgrade to a two bedroomed Luxury Villa situated in Thesen Island Town. This is the most luxurious and expensive address in Knysna. The property has had 106 reviews of which 93% gave 5 star scores. Regarding the knowledge of your chauffeur driver. He has been living in, designing and managing Garden Route Tours for 28 years. I apologize if he missed something. Warm Regards - Paul
