Ilios and the Great Phaldini! - We owe every star of our five star review to Phaldie, a.k.a., “The Great Phaldini”! We did a private tour of the Cape Wineland, a private tour of Cape grace/ the Cape point and shark cage diving in Gansbaai over the course of three (3) days, all spent with Phaldie as our guide. He went above and beyond to make us feel not only that we were clients, but more like his long lost friends. My wife and I were down in Cape Town on our honeymoon that has been delayed over two (2) years, and could not have asked for a better experience. When weather threw us curveballs, Phaldie threw them right back at Mother Nature, and made sure that we had alternative plans, ready and waiting! His knowledge of everything we did was incredible and extraordinarily informative. I would highly recommend Ilios when traveling in Cape Town, and if possible, definitely recommend Phaldie!

Our tour guide (Shafiek) was INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend - Our tour guide was Shafiek O, he was absolutely incredible. He was also our tour guide for the peninsula tour through cape of good hope, Simon's Town and we also went to Constantia that day for a surprise winery tour (as a preface to our full tour the following day). Shafiek was extremely knowledgeable and he was also flexible with how the day went. He tailored our winery tour, knowing that we were big beer drinkers, he squeezed in a quick brewery tour in between a couple of the wineries. We LOVED that. He was also super eager to take photos of us, which normally isn't the case, we were so pleased with this service on our honeymoon!
