We are absolutely thrilled --- We are absolutely thrilled - Cape Town Tour For our short stay in Cape Town, we chose a half-day tour that took us to the Cape of Good Hope and back. When we were looking through the many offers, we quickly noticed Patrick's. The reviews also spoke for him and so we booked the tour. On the day of the tour, Patrick picked us up right on time at the hotel and greeted us. We then set off on the tour straight away and were given detailed explanations about Cape Town. All of our questions were also answered in detail and he always responded to our requests for extra stops. So we were able to experience an absolute 5-star tour for two. In addition to English, Patrick also speaks fluent French. However, as we found English more comfortable, we preferred this. We always felt very comfortable and safe with Patrick the whole time. The tour even lasted a little longer than we had booked because we still had some time before boarding at the port. We can therefore only highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a tour guide for Cape Town and wants to experience an eventful few hours.

FANTASTIC TOUR. A DEFINITE 'MUST DO'. - One of the highlights of our time in Cape Town. The tour was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much to Patrick who arrived to collect us from our hotel on time and who was so friendly and informative. Apart from the penguins which we saw at Boulders Beach we saw seals, baboons, ostriches and an eland. We loved the remoteness of the Cape of Good Hope and the scenic drive along Chapman's Park. this tour is a DEFINITE MUST DO! If we're lucky enough to be back in Cape Town we will be contacting Patrick again for sure for more adventures.

Great tour - and Patrick is a wonderful guide! - Excellent tour! Patrick was a great guide, full of knowledge and very informative. Even though it was winter time, we saw penguins in abundance, baboons (keep those windows closed!), dassie, ostrich, seals, comarants, gulls, and even a few field mice at an overlook! Scenery was amazing. What made this really great was that our booking was originally for Thursday and the weather forecast was for TONS of rain and clouds (not good for an outdoor tour!). Patrick was more than willing to accommodate a switch in dates to Friday (the next day) where the day was mostly sunny and a much better option. We were able to make this change the Wednesday before. This was a great tour with no bad surprises and lots of good things to see. Highly recommend!!

Great Tour! - Our guide Patrick was excellent. The day was overcast and rainy, but that did not diminish the experience. We saw the penguins first, then the cape. Because of the weather, there were few people at each. At the cape, prepare to hike and climb. There is a funicular at Cape Point, but it was not running. Even if it were, it’s still a climb up some steps to get to the lookout. Wear comfortable shoes, and bring a raincoat! On the drive back, the cliffs along the ocean reminded us of Big Sur. We highly recommend this tour with Patrick!

Excellent half day ideal for family - Patrick! What an exceptional tour guide. So much knowledge, Patrick was punctual and accomodating, no pressure on time restraint and we were able to stop to take pictures with ease. Safe driver and made the trip comfortable. This is the best half day tour for families with pre teen/teens, not wanting to spend 10hrs on tour, we covered interesting sites.

Amazing tour with an amazing guide - What a day I had! Saw penguins, zebra, antelopes, ostriches, baboons…. beaches, ocean from many different places, amazing nature… So many wonderful things on the peninsula. Patrick is a great tour guide. He knows everything about everything. He taught me so much about so many things: history, nature, wildlife, social habits… we stopped menu times and I took a great amount of amazing pictures (I had a cigaret on a few stops :-)) It it wasn’t for Patrick, this trip would never be so fulfilling. Thank you Patrick.
