An absolutely amazing experience - We had the most amazing time with Percy as our guide. He was professional, knowledgeable and extremely charismatic as our tour guide. We went on a guided wine tour and the views were stunning and the wine was amazing. 10/10 and would definitely recommend Percy Tours to everyone visiting Hermanus.

What a great experience! - We had never been on a walking Whale watching tour before, but as some members of our party do not fair well on boats, we thought it would be worth a try.
Percy was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, and made us all feel at ease within moments of meeting him. He was also very accomodating to our evolving needs.
We were extremely lucky during our trip, and got to see a young Southern Right Whale breaching multiple times just off the bay. It was magical and something we had never encountered before on previous Whale Watching excursions.
We would definitely book with Percy Tours again and will be recommending them.

Splendid tour! - We had a splendid time with our group of 8, being part of Percy Tours in October for about 10 days!! During this time we stayed in Hermanus, as well as Stellenbosch and Paarl.
Even before the start of our trip Percy really took the time to schedule a call with us and talk about the things that we wished to see and do! In addition he gave us some great recommendations for accommodations!
During the trip Percy was a fantastic and enthusiastic guide, who clearly knew a lot about South African wines, and was prepared to take us to any winery in Hermanus, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl we selected (no matter how remote), as well as being our trusted advisor on any places to visit depending on the preferences of the group. For our group this included a whalewatching tour and a sunny golfday!
He had great flexibility throughout and even went out of his way to recover a lost item for us at a previous winery as well as helping us out with some logistical issues in our further travels in South Africa!
We had a great time and wish we could do it all over again!
So if you are interested in trying South African wines and don’t want to be driving back to your hotel after sampling a few too many, or you just want to sea whatever the Western Cape has to offer, we highly recommend to book an itinerary with Percy tours!

Great Knowledge and personality on Wine, Wildlife and the History of The Western Cape. - We found Percy through trip advisor when I was looking for Whale watching and Wine tours around Hermanus. He helped plan our visit, from the requests we gave and suggesting better options we hadn’t thought of.
He was able to reorganise our visit if the weather changed and was very knowledgable about all the activities we did.
Using Percy tours saved us alot of time and stress and he is great advocate of the area. It was a great asset to have someone who understood the British sense of humour when you with them for several days. You will not be disappointed.

Fabulous day trip with Percy - We had a fabulous day doing a wine tour in the Hemel en Aarde wine valley with Percy. He has extensive knowledge, a passion for wine and ability to share his knowledge in a fun yet educating manner. We did the trip once before ten years ago and will continue to offer this trip to our family and friends when they visit, it’s worth it!

Excellent whale-watching experience - I've wanted to see whales for as long as I can remember and it was a wonderful experience. Percy is super knowledgeable and very entertaining. I thought I was a whale nerd but I learned a lot from him. It took a while to locate the whales but our patience paid off. We saw several whales and Percy took amazing photos of them, including of one of the females looking straight at us. I had my doubts about land-based whale watching but it was absolutely the right choice. Highly recommended.

Most incredible whale watching experience - We had arranged to do the whale watching boat tour which was sadly cancelled due to adverse whether, obviously totally out of our control, so we were recommended to do the walk from boat yard to the town, which was a super stunning and atmospheric walk across some vary terrain. We loved it.
We entered the town afterwards which has such a sweet, charming and easy going feel to it!
Then we had lunch at Bientangs cave restaurant and bar. AMAZING! the food and wine was exquisite and cheap but the best off was the whale show displayed in front of us for the whole experience. They were jumping out, flapping tails and fins, breaking the waters surface, it was breathtaking! It felt very bucket listy!
After lunch our driver, Yusaf, who is an incredibly knowledgeable and nice guy, took us the scenic route home along the coast line, visiting stoney point to see the penguins. The views from this drive are bonkers. It really exposes you to the beauty of the coast, where again we saw whales jumping from the water, making free willy look like an amateur jumper!
Our tour was expertly organised by Tanya, who I honestly cannot speak more highly of throughout the whole pre booking and during period. She was always extremely helpful, comprehensive and attentively timely in her responses. You can tell she genuinely really cares about the clients experience and the tours themselves, which is exactly what you always want when booking a tour. Thank you very much Tanya! We wouldn’t have had this unforgettable experience without your assistance and input!

Excellent experience - Percy was an excellent tour guide. He provided us with history of the area and was very interesting and fun to chat with. Was flexible in letting us determine what we wanted to do during the tour and chose an excellent local restaurant for lunch. Would definitely book another tour with Percy when we return to South Africa.

Brilliant tour - fun and informative. Thank you Percy you legend! - We were a little too late to see the whales but Percy our guide was amazing. Such a laugh and full of stories and knowledge about the area. He drove us to the beach, along the cliff top path, to a nature reserve and all throughout the town. We had so much fun and learnt a lot too. Thank you for making our morning so brilliant.
