Robben Island with Guide - Said was our Guide. We had booked a tour to Robben Island, but it was cancelled due to the weather. Said shifted gears quickly! He took us to the pinquin beach, hijack the good hope and bo-kaap. He also arranged for us to visit Robben Island a day later! A friendly, reliable and funny Guide with which to laugh enormously. Said is a must to take as Guide! Thank you!

Excellent Escort in Cape Town - Said escorted us to Robben Island. His vehicle was the perfect size for our group of 7. He not only dropped us off at the site he also escorted us to the entrance. He secured a place for us to meet following the excursion and directed us to the eateries.

Roll w/Said - Said is the ABSOLUTE best! His communication started with us before we arrived in South Africa. Said was prompt in picking us up. He even provided information about the buildings we were seeing. On our return, he was kind enough to wait for us when our trip ran long and even asked if we wanted to grab lunch. You won't go wrong booking with Said.
