Great day out exploring the coast of Port Elizabeth. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Was great to see a pod of Dolphins at Sardinia Bay, which was a beautiful beech
Thanks for the lovely review. It was great showing use around. Safe travels.
Very nice tour and recommended, especially in the afternoon to enjoy the sunset over Sardinia Bay. You arrive in places that are difficult to visit if you do not have your own car.
Great - Colin is a Top Guide Beautiful Landscape and beach - Top Information - Really good Impression
Unfortunately, we had a very bad cruise and didn't stop at this port amongst other ports, and he was so kind to give us a refund.
Carlin, owner of the company and tour guide was very dedicated and informative, having arranged Brazilians to join me and get to know everyone more together.
Tour was quite nice. The coastal scenery was great and so was Sardinia Beach. Colin is a very hard-working guide, so it was very entertaining
It was not quite what I thought it would be, (very tame) BUT guides were very knowledgeable. A lovely family business.
My wife and i took this trip from our cruise ship. Communication beforehand was excellent. And on the day Carlin was a wonderfully kind and likeable guide. We were with two other Cruise passengers in a 6/7 seater car, so there was plenty of space. And Carlin's lovely Dad had 4 other guests in his similar car. We all took the tour together in the 2 cars and it was superb. The sand dunes were the highlight for me. But it was all good.
We would be picked up on time at the cruise port. Our guide was very friendly, had an extensive knowledge and also provided us with his WiFi.
Carlin picked us up at our Cruise ship for our personal tour for two of the coast of Port Elizabeth. He was very knowledgeable and took us to some interesting areas along the coast, including a lighthouse and a Penguin rescue centre, which was fascinating and carries out essential work to save the Cape Penguins (an endangered species) The tour ended back at the ship and despite the rain we had a really good time. The trip was very keenly priced too!
