Fantastic Day!

Fantastic day! A must do as it’s private, personal and you’ll see beautiful places you won’t see on a big tour. Willem is cool! He drives safely too.

Fantastic Day!

Fantastic day! A must do if you want to see the countryside up close and not from a bus! Willem is cool. He’s very knowledgeable and drives safely. You’ll take multiple photo stops and have lunch right on the sea!

Uniquely fun and beautiful drive

Really unique and fun experience. The trike is great fun and Willem has a wealth of interesting information about the area that we would have never gotten on our own. The drive itself was definitely the most scenic and beautiful that I had ever done. Highly recommend!

Fun filled day with an unusual route home.

What an amazing day with Willem and his Geel-Kameel on the Clarence Drive trip on Sunday 29 Decembder 2019. We couldn't have ended the year off on a better note exploring Cape Town's beautiful coastline. The trike is most comfortable, Willem our tour guide super knowledgeable about fascinating fats and history of the places we visited which included the pump house at Steenbras dam above Gordons Bay, a biker pub in Rooiels, Stoney Point in Bettys Bay to visit the penguins, drive through Kleinmond and finishing with a faboulous lunch in Hermanus. When Willem heard that Jolene had never been along the Hemel en Aarde Vallei, he took us back along that route which brought us out at Caledon to meet up with the N2 back to Cape Town. Another stop at the Houw Hoek Farm Stall for some of their delicious sausage rolls and apple crumble and then onto Grabouw and a last stop at the top of Sir Lowrys Pass for more pics and sights before delivering us safely back home! A trip with Cape Town Trike Tours is a MUST for anyone's bucket list, especially if you don't own a bike BUT want to experience the thrill and adventure of the ride. Thanks again Willem for an amazing day and experience.

Operator response

Amazing Tour AND Great Fun, Smiles all Day

This is our first visit to South Africa and after 3 weeks we wanted to finish our holiday on a High. Well Willem and his day tour around the coast to Hermanus including a pub stop, a lunch in Hermanus right next to the sea and the scenic views from his Boom Trike couldn’t be better. Thank you. We will certainly be recommending your tours on a Trike to our friends.

What a way to see the country! Highly recommend

My friend and I are riders at home in the US, but were trepidatious about renting bikes and driving on the opposite side of the road.... so the trike tour was the next best thing. Willam was prompt and pleasant and we had good communication prior to the trip. (We also agreed to push a day for better weather, which was a great idea.) This tour is nearly a full day, so bring water and sunscreen and dress warmly (ready for the wind! I recommend ear plugs.) Willam is a great rider and we never worried for our safety. The bike is stable and quiet with low vibration; very comfortable (with a neck strap, you can safely use your camera). He also has trunk space for small bags. This route took us far outside the city, past False Bay on one of the most gorgeous seaside roads I've ever experienced. Willam has planned stops, including in Hermanus for lunch, but will customize within reason (see more info on his website.) Highly recommended way to spend a day exploring beyond Cape Town!

Operator response

Thank you so much for the kind words Brooke. It was an absolute pleasure showing you and Melissa around my beautiful city and surrounds. Thanks for being such awesome ladies and the fact that you are both bikers makes you even more awesome! Hope to see you both soon again. God bless.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME

I booked this for my hubbies birthday. Willem collected us at home and we were off on our adventure. This was an experience never to be forgotten. The views during the tour are amazing and even though you might have driven these roads before, you see so much more from the bike. Willem is an excellent guide and shares his wealth of knowledge with you. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED

Operator response
