A Great Day In Cape Town! - Georgeo, our tour guide, was professional, friendly and accommodating. Robben island was educational . Both the Island Staff tour guide and the tour guide that had been a political prisoner, offered a clear picture of the Island’s history, both recent and distant. The gardens were beautiful, even though it’s winter here. The food at Moyo offered the perfect comfort food for the time of year. Groot Constancia wineries offered a wine tasting of 5 of their wines. Each wine delivered a pleasant and distinct set of flavourful characteristics. We finished with the Groot Constana dessert wine that was once popular with both Napoleon and Jane Austin. This wine, I believe, is up there and perhaps better than some the best Ice wine, Port or Tokaji wines that I have had the chance to try. Thank you Shine the Way Tour’s.

Thank you JoJo! - Jojo was a very kind and thoughtful operator. When constantia’a electricity went out he drove us to an atm to get cash and return. If we asked for slight adjustments he was present. The tour was well organized and he was friendly and knowledgeable the whole way. I super recommend a tour with him!

Great tour around Cape Town - Jojo was a perfect driver for us, he's nice and speaks an excellent French (and English as well). Robben Island, Kirstenbosch Gardens and Groot Constantia are great sites that deserve to be visited. Jacques

Never arrived on Robben Island - The ferry was not in operation due to bad weather conditions; they could have known that already at the time of booking..
