Amazing peninsula tour - This trip was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. We arrived at the penguins early prior to other tours so you had time to get photos and appreciate the experience. Sam was very knowledgeable and provided us with the history as we went between places. He also stopped at some amazing spots for photo opportunities. Cape of Good Hope we spent the time required to take in the landscape. We stopped at Blue Waters for an incredible dining experience and this really made the trip. Highly recommended this trip as we bet all the other tours to get the best views. He stopped to take pictures of us and we could change the itinerary as we desired.

Outstanding Trip. Highly recommended - Samuel was an outstanding guide from start to finish. Samuel made sure of good communication the day before and collected us on time and in comfort. Samuel provided an outstanding and awesome commentary on all the stops. He was very very interesting and interested. A winning combination. He ensured fantastic photo opportunities and tailored the trip to our needs. He made the day perfect by getting us a reservation on the day at a usually booked out restaraunt. Incredible service. Book this tour with this guide. You absolutely will not regret it!

Awesome Day Out In Capetown - We had a great day out, such a wonderful experience with stunning views on Chapman's peak, our guide Samuel was very impressive and knowledgeable. We learn so much about the South African History and he had a lot of interesting information that he shared with us. He Couldn't stop asking if we have any questions and that made us feel happy. It was a great way to see so many sites. We definitely recommend Samuel

Private tour of Cape Town for Cruise Ship passengers. - Samuel our tour guide/ driver met us at the Cruise terminal as planned, even though we were late after being held up by the Port immigration. Samuel was polite and courteous from the outset. He spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable and informative about the City, Africa and the wildlife. He had a planed itinerary covering most of the main things to see but checked with us that this was what we wanted and was totally flexible with any changes.
We had the perfect day with Samuel and I would rate him as an excellent tour guide. I would highly recommend him for cruise ship passengers as he was very aware of the need to be returned to the cruise terminal in plenty of time.

Penguins, ocean sights, food awesome tour guide and wine in Cape Town area, oh my! - We had the most amazing day exploring the Cape Town area on our full day private tour with our extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and pleasant tour guide Samuel Isaac! He adapted the tour to our needs, allowed time for our million and one pictures, questions and we agreed on doing our tour in reverse so we avoided crowds and traffic. We are seasoned travelers who appreciate sights, tour guide personalities/niceties and great food which Samuel excelled at all. We stopped for lunch at Imhoff's Farm, an amazing small eatery, winery and shops where the wine and food were excellent and very reasonably priced with serene beautiful views.
The penguins were my favorite stop although its is rather windy so I recommend you wear sunglasses and long sleeves because you will get sand blasted... but make no
mistake, no tourist was deterred from taking in the views or pictures.
Finally, we can highly recommend this tour and our guide Samuel Isaac who speaks impeccable English with only a slight accent which made it so much more enjoyable as we did not have to second guess what he said - and he doubles as a photographer!!!

Great day out - We had an excellent private tour around Cape Town with our guide, Samuel. He was an exceptionally skilled driver and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts throughout the journey. Samuel was also very approachable and happy to answer any questions, making the experience even more enjoyable.
Our tour included visits to Seal Island, the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point, Boulders Bay to see the penguins, and an ostrich farm. He even offered to take us to Table Mountain, but we had visited the day before. Nothing was too much trouble for him—his flexibility and enthusiasm made the day truly special.
Highly recommend this tour and Samuel as a guide!
