Hope that Danson is your private tour guide to stunning Cape Agulhus - Our guide, Danson, was wonderful. He was attentive, very knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing personal stories as well as stories about his very complex country. He adjusted the day's itinerary to our requests and was a skilled driver . We would gladly do a private tour with him again.

Fun and informative family trip to the Cape Agulhas - The trip to Cqpe Agulhas was PERFECT. Well curated with adequate time to have lunch, spend time to see penguins, walk along the beach, climb the lighthouse. Our guide Peter was AMAZING! knowledgeable about not just the tour but also Cape town and South Africa as a whole. He was engaging but not overwhelming. Even with my teenage children. Very professional. My interaction with Pauline was very professional, she answered all my questions and enquiries. I would highly recommend this tour with this company. We could not have enjoyed more.

An amazing day full of such a variety of different types of adventure & experiences! A must do on a visit to Cape Town! - What a wonderful, chilled and personal tour we had with Natasha, our driver and tour guide! Just the three of us and Natasha! We had many exciting stops on our way to Cape Agulhas and Natasha allowed us plenty of time to enjoy each place and adventure. These included the incredible, wild Penguin colony at Betty’s Bay, which also had lots of Cormorants and Rock Hyrax creatures running around; the beautiful little Dutch town of Elim, with lots of houses with thatched roofs and a beautiful church; the whale watching town of Hermanus, where we stopped for lunch; wine tasting at the super Hamilton Russell Vineyards. Cape Agulhas has a lighthouse, great wild and rugged coastline, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet, a harbour & pier, where we saw a stingray swimming, up close. Along the route, we also saw a lot of Wildlife, including Baboons, Springboks, Osterichs, Cranes, hawks and Guinea Fowl, to name but a few! Natasha was an amazing guide, who made the whole day such a fantastic experience!
