Great way to get to know the city. William was very nice and knowledgeable and he really made an effort to accommodate our likes and preferences.

Willy, our tour guide, went above and beyond and made our city tour fantastic! He emailed me prior to our tour to discuss what we wanted to see and do. The day of the tour he was on time and ready to go with a smile! He delivered on every thing we wanted to see! He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! Perfect way to start our vacation in Cape Town! Thanks Willy!

Willy went above and beyond to make our city tour fantastic! A few days prior to the tour, Willy sent us an email introducing himself and asked what we’d like to see and learn. He delivered on all our requests. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! Super way to start our vacation in Cape Town! Thanks Willy!

We were lucky to have a Congolese guide who spoke French, and it was a really interesting visit.

Dieter is immediately friendly. A wealth of knowledge about the city and it's culture. We're good researchers and he was able to show us places we would neer have seen on our own. The perfect start to our time in Cape Town!
