A glimpse of Port Elizabeth and Safari. - The guide divided the city part of the tour into two. And in between the two halfs of the city was the safari. Wish we could have gone on the safari first early in the morning for more animals. After we were over with the tour I understand why it was between the two half's. The first part was everything new and including memorials to Mandela. The safari was really good considering how small the "farm" was. The guide Quintin was exceptional. Explaining much about the plant life as well as how the animals interact. The second half of the city was enlightening. Explaining where apartheid started. Taking us through the section where the poorer of poor live. And how they are surviving. Wish we would have had a hour more overall.

Highly Recommended - What a wonderful day we had today. Our guide Esaudore was just delightful; knowledgeable, interesting, very courteous and thoughtful. Able to adapt to what we needed and wanted. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough. I loved it was a private tour and the wineries and restaurant ( in particular) were perfect. Stunning scenery. Thank you!

Cancelled our tour 9 days before departing for South Africa! - We booked and paid for this tour on December 9, for a tour to begin at 9:00 on February 6. We were sent a ticket, which we printed out for the trip. On january 9, we get a message "Janina here from Into Tours. I love showing travellers Port Elizabeth and am looking forward to our tour." She asked if we wanted to add an animal park, which we immediately declined, having spent time on safari years ago. There was no further communication until January 22, 9 days before our departure to South Africa, when we received this message: " Many thanks for your reply. We have the scheduled tour booked and we would have loved for you and Tricia to join. Because we are in Addo in the morning on tour, we would have to collect you and Tricia in the afternoon and the time of collection might not be at 13:00. This will inconvenience you and therefore I think that the best would be for you to book your tour with another service provider who has a scheduled tour running to Port Elizabeth city only. Kindly cancel the booking with us. Best regards, Janina " Now I have to figure out how to cancel the tour and try to book another one during our cruise ship stop in Port Elizabeth. Hopefully we are not out the $106 we paid in December; we booked through TripAdvisor, but can't find a record of it when we checked in to the web site. This is absolutely unacceptable behavior on the part of the tour operator, Into Tours; we fortunately have never been treated this way on a booked and paid for tour. Stay away from this one!
