Lovely Cape Town! - We’ve been visited Cape Town in a group of 6 persons for 5days and booked a private mini bus for 2 days and had the chance to be accompanied by Liezel our lovely tour guide from Hotspot 2c 😊 She takes time to explain us the history, culture and habits of her country/town which we appreciated a lot. We enjoyed our stay both for the beauty of the landscapes and kindness of people met.

Sweetest Wine Day Out! - Stellenboch is such an amazing place with amazing varieties of vino. It had just snowed when we were there in July so the view of the mountains was mesmerizing and the wine valleys themselves were so breathtaking. Our guide Dylan (who i called Bob all the time :P) is the best guide and such a nice person. As a whole we had a day full of fun, food, laughter and obviously wonderful range of wine :)

Amazing day! Our guide Andrew, is super... - Amazing day! Our guide Andrew, is super friendly and informative. He's more than happy to show you how to taste the wines and even recommended a couple of bottles for us to buy on the day! We went to 3 wineries and had an amazing lunch just outside of Stellenbosch. The wine tasting with biltong pairing was a highlight, however we ended the day at Ernie Els which has incredible views of the winelands. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. This is a must for any Cape Town trip!!
