Unforgettable 5 Days with Franck - We had the absolute pleasure of spending 5 days in Cape Town with Franck, and he truly made our trip unforgettable. Not only did he provide us with deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture, but he also guided us with such care and attention that we felt completely at ease throughout our journey.
Franck went above and beyond—helping with our kids, ensuring we were comfortable at all times, and even capturing wonderful photos for us to cherish forever. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for what he does made him stand out.
Franck is simply the best guide we could have asked for, and we cannot recommend him highly enough!

Cape Town - Very knowledgeable and shared history but also current events. Left with a real understanding of life in Cape Town past and present. 2nd day trip to wine country and left the winery choices to him. Both winery farms could not have been better.

Cape area full day tour - Our day with Frank was absolutely the highlight of our visit to Cape Town! The rest of the reviews speak for themselves, but you absolutely cannot go wrong with Frank. Very knowledgeable, funny, polite, easy-going, and cheerful. We will be recommending him to everyone who comes to this area!

Frank knows the peninsula - Thje Western Cape is beautiful. Frank drove and guided us around the peninsula for an entire day. Wouldn't have been as fun without his insights, humor, sense of timing (which is everything when trying to avoid crowds)., and mystical parking karma. He's really quite good.

Fantastic Tours of Cape Town - My companions and I just spent the last 3 days with Frank, touring the Langa Township (an eye opening must see for any visitor to Cape Town), the Cape of Good Hope (with penguins and amazing scenery of course) and the Stellenbosch wine region (incredible lunch at the Delaire Graff winery…not to be missed). All beautifully arranged by Frank. He was absolutely impeccable! Informative, friendly, well spoken, kind, convivial and of course a great driver! We recommend him unreservedly and encourage you to find out for yourself!

Frank tours is the best! - We had an excellent tour of the Cape Town area with Frank. He was very informative and was receptive to the priorities of what we most wanted to see. He is very knowledgeable about the Cape and its history. He was very patient with our many questions and always ensured he answered them to our satisfaction. When we come back it will definitely be Frank who guides us.

Breathtaking views, penguins and baboons! - The tour was great, Frank showed us around each place being very informative of the origin story of each town and area we visited. We appreciated his ability to explain each area of the Cape and give us as much or as little time in each place as we liked. Our favourite places were the view from Chapmans Peak drive and the Boulders Beach penguins. We even got to see Baboons at the cape of good hope. The views of the mountains on the whole drive are more stunning than you can imagine. The car was very comfortable and Frank is an excellent and caring driver and host. We were grateful for his lunch recommendation and flexibility to drop us off where we needed after the tour.

Frank is the absolute best! - My husband and I spent almost two full days with Frank touring Capetown and the Cape. He was incredibly well-versed on all the sights, including the history of the area. Knew the shortcuts and how to avoid traffic hotspots. Seemed to know everyone at all the attractions and as he greeted them with his warm smile, was greeted with a warm smile by all of them in return. We believe this is the only way to see the area, while avoiding crowds, and even get into some of the activities that we were told were already “sold out!” We couldn’t recommend Frank more heartily!
