Amazing! - Fabulous way to explore the city, in the comfort of a private car, but let me just tell you my tour guide was the main attraction. Doney didn’t just show me the city also showed my me local hospitality.

Local city tour - Great experience with a very nice guide! I was travelling alone, but she made me feel so safe and welcome. She took us around in the city and showed us all the main attractions. We went for several walks during the trip and she was good at telling the history about the different places. I Will definetly recommend to go!

Tour the City with a Local! - Our local guide NeNe was fantastic! We got to see and learn about local spots as well as learn more about the culture of Cape Town and South Africa. So many different neighborhoods and recommendations on places to revisit (and not visit during certain times of day). Our guide really made us feel welcome on our first day in South Africa.
