An Amazing Experience With The Best Tour Guide - LETICIA is such a good tour guide - This trip was beyond what I had planned for the day. I had just completed a hiking trip up Lion’s Head and was exhausted on the day. However , when Leticia ( tour guide ) picked me from the hotel , we just clicked . She has such a beautiful aura to her personality. We chatted incessantly while in the car and Leticia, Will suddenly pull over into a zone . I was clueless what was happening till she tells to capture amazing views of this beautiful city en route to Boulders Beach ! Can I just say, she is good at what she does . The photos she took of me have to be among the best back drops I had on this trip ! All I can say is She made this trip to be so memorable for me . It was a rainy day when I arrived at Boulders Beach but I couldn’t care less! I had so much fun en route to the final destination and that followed on as viewed the beautiful penguins strutting their stuff on the sandy beach.

A great road trip - The Tour was really great. We saw lots of interesting places and we were well looked after by our guide Nelly. She was extremely friendly and was able to tell us a lot about the area and its special features. It was a very infomative and really fun to be on the road with her.

A most enjoyable tour - We were met by Leticia who was our driver and guide for the trip. She has a great personality and made our time most enjoyable, telling us all about life in Cape Town and the places we visited. We travelled with 4 American tourists in a very comfortable people carrier. We loved the penguins and were so close to them on the boardwalk. A great afternoon.

Amazing half day Penguin tour! - Leticia, our guide, provided a memorable half day tour of Cape Town & surroundings on our way to Boulders Beach to see the penguins 🐧She sang the RSA national anthem while pointing out historic places during the drive. Frequent stops to stretch our legs, buy snacks & bio breaks.

Hasle-free trip - We loved it that the trip was hassle-free . Pick-up from our hotel. Nice driver, Allain, who knew a lot of backgroundinformation and didn't push us into things. Abslutely worth the money.

Fantastic tour guide, disappointing transport - Our driver Johnny was a fantastic tour guide. What we loved about him is that he was born and raised Cape Town so he knew so much about the city’s culture and history. We learned a lot! He was also kind enough to drop us off at our Airbnb after the tour. The only part that was disappointing was the mode of transport - we were expecting an air conditioned van or larger vehicle with but instead, it was a Toyota Etios with the windows rolled down. We also weren’t ever offered any water for the entire tour. We felt a bit ripped off considering the amount of money that we paid. When I voiced my disappointment about the car to the tour company, I was told that a smaller car was chosen for us because it was only the two of us (my fiancé and I) on the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour as we loved Johnny but just be mindful that the mode of transport might not be exactly what you expect.
