What people are saying about Simon's Town, South Africa

We had the pleasure of Ian as our guide around Cape Point who was very knowledgeable and personable. As I was keen to see the penguins at Boulder’s Beach, Ian flexibly altered our itinerary so that we could see them first. His vast knowledge covered the array of different wildlife, history, points of interest and of course wine too! This he shared in a really engaging and interesting way. Ian’s passion and enthusiasm was evident with him joining us in taking photos and kindly offering to snap some souvenir shots for us - something we’d forget otherwise. Our African Moon adventure out with Ian exceeded our expectations and we would strongly recommend a trip with him. If we’re fortunate enough to return to South Africa, we would definitely book another trip with him. Thank you Ian for filling our day with incredible memories!

A great knowledgeable tour guide who makes a tour that suits you. Very reasonable rates and even makes you tea and coffee and provides water throughout your tour. Trustworthy, and highly recommended for your trip to South Africa. Ian, we can't thank you enough for our incredible tour. We have the best memories and photos to remember our holiday. Priya & Neil
