Driving East out of Cape Town we will pass a Township called Khayelitsha. In Xhosa it means ‘our new home’. This is the biggest township in Cape Town with a population of half a million. Many of these inhabitants works in the City and are daily dependent on public transport. Khayelitsha also has its own economy and has seen it grown from strength to strength over the years. Some of the inhabitants also works in the Cape Wineland region, as this is closer to home.

Three cheers for Johhny! - This trip is a great day out. You go through a variety of landscapes between Cape Town and the southernmost tip of Africa, past farms and watersheds, vineyards and rocky coastlines. Three hours or so each way. Cape Agulhas itself is dramatic and reminds me so much of my home town's rugged south coast (Wellington, NZ). The lighthouse is amazing, getting close to 200 years old now. I recommend the climb to the top, but be prepared for the strong winds outside! The best part of the trip, though, was finding out that my "random" driver was none other than Johnny, who had been my group's driver the previous week. He's a great guy, a good professional driver, and a very knowledgeable guide. Three cheers!

Glorious Tour to Cape Agulhas - Today's tour from Cape Town to Cape Agulhas with Glorious Cape Tours was truly wonderful. I was blessed to be both driven and guided by Leticia, who was not only a fountain of local information and a considerate tour leader, but also a genuinely warm, open-hearted human being. We started early enough to catch a beautiful sunrise before proceeding via Sir Lowry Pass, Caledon and Napier to L'Agulhas, where there was ample time to soak up the serenity of this very special place. Afterwards we stayed local for a good healthy meal. Our return journey included stops at picturesque Elim and pleasant Hermanas (alas, out of season for whale spotting). The drive was smooth, the scenery stunning, and the conversations never less than fascinating, frank and full of positive energy. Very highly recommended!

A day to remember - This tour was a unique experience! It was as if I had done the trip with my friend of many years. In contrast to other trips I've been on, we were a very small group here (just the two of us and our guide Leticia). This made the trip very special. Leticia told us lots of interesting and informative stories about South Africa during the trip. She went out of her way to make sure we had an unforgettable day. Her warmth and openness made me feel very comfortable from the moment I met her. Thank you for that!

Wonderful Road Trip to Cape Agulhas, - Visiting from Seattle, going to Cape Agulhas was on top of my bucket list. This tour company was very friendly and reached out to me a day before the travel to confirm pickup spots and times. On the day of travel, they arrived on time, the driver knew the region very well, was very friendly and educative. I would highly recommend this tour company whether travelling solo like me or as a group with any of their packages

A wonderful trip to OFFICIAL PLACE where two oceans meet - Cape Aghullas - It was a great day trip from Cape Town to Cape Aghullas with Leticia. We contacted Leticia almost last minutes and she responded very quickly. She is very knowledgeable and give us a lot history and information about this area. She is a very detail and organized guider, know the area very well, plus she is a great driver! On our way back , she was kind enough to made a detour to a beautiful cost town Hermanus, so we could have a quick and a delicious lunch break there. We also used Leticia's Cape Good Hope Tour. Both tours are all great! I am not hesitant to recommend her tour to anyone who need a professional guider while visiting Cape Town.
