We had a great time travelling - it was great everywhere. George was a kind, kind guide.
Jeffrey’s Bay, beautiful city with great beach (much better than in Durban). Continue to Marina Martinique, a beautifully landscaped holiday home. However, we don’t know if we can afford it😟. Coffee break at the bridge over the Storms River, great photo motif into the gorge. Downriver at Storms River we did a hike over many many stairs, great sea views and then walked over the Suspension Bridge suspension bridge. Monkeyland Monkeyland Reserve is very nice, we have seen most of the monkey species that live here. The guide in Reservation told a lot about the monkeys. Finally, right next door Birds of Eden, a giant aviary where the birds can learn as if in the wild.
The Garden Route tour with Carlin was great. The hike to Suspension Bridge passes through rainforest. The suspension bridge is an impressive experience. We were totally enthusiastic about the huge free flight aviary "Birds Eden" and could have stayed there for hours. But that wasn't the end of the day. Monkeyland was still waiting for us and was also a highlight. An all-round successful day full of impressions. Thanks, Carlin! You're the best!
We went to Peaceport, which was three and a half hours later than we had originally planned, but the guide had been waiting for us and we were very relieved to have him pick us up at the gate. They were flexible and, most importantly, they replied as soon as I asked them a question, which immediately resolved my worries and anxieties. It was a great tour company and guide.

Even if the ship was nearly three hours late, they communicated via whatsapp. They changed the meeting point to be fairly close and drove us to the boat's entrance. Even though we were quite late, the guide was kind and flexibly took care of our visit.
The garden route tour was amazing! Jeffrey's Bay stood out for me and I'd definitely wanna show it to my kids soonest! Monkey land and Birds of Eden were amazing! Also the quad biking was thrilling 🫠. The drive is long BUT worthwhile because you get to see a whole lot other things that are not mentioned in the tour! Take this tour and thank me later! 😉😉😉
With Carlin's car and guide, we had lunch at TotalEnergies Petroport Tsitsikama, walked to and from the Storms River bridge, and went around the sights Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary & Birds of Eden·Tsitsikamma National Park Storms River Suspension bridge·Jeffereys Bay until late. He kept me cheerful and thorough with a spirit of service, and I was impressed with how he talked about how drivers don't get sleepy on monotonous roads even though they thought they were tired, and it was a 200% satisfying garden route tour! In particular, Monkeyland and Birds of Eden, although they are in the park, have been able to observe the monkeys in a natural way without cages, see the birds flapping freely and have taken a lot of good photos The Suspension bridge is also an authentic three-suspension bridge along the coastline, offering a stunning view! Right after we left the Suspension bridge, they parked on the high ground and took a few minutes to take a picture of the beautiful sunset on the horizon, because it was beautiful today!
Thank you so much Carlin’s Tours! I had such an amazing time on my garden route tour. Everything about this tour was incredible. The sites, views and ofcourse Carlin, our friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism, also for the tips given for my further stay in South Africa! I’ll definitely be booking another tour with you the next time I get to come and visit beautiful SA.
Thanks Sir. It was a pleasure to host you. I really enjoyed my time with you and getting to learn about Dubai. Thanks for choosing Carlin's Tours. Kind regards
Carlin Tour did and fantastic job in taking us a group of 6 to Garden of Eve, monkey land, Storms of Bridge, garden Route, and Suspension Bridge. Carlin was very through and well time management. We saw so many beautiful birds and lemurs. This is a tour of building memory. I strongly recommend this tour.
I'm glad you enjoyed or 1day Garden Route Tour, its one of the most beautiful stretches in our Country. It was a pleasure to meet use and host use. Memories for life. Kind regards Carlin's Tours
It was 6 of us on the tour 1 Day Garden Route in Port Elizabeth South Africa. Carlin picked us up at the cruise port and dropped us back the same meeting point. Carlin was prompt, professional, and courteous. Carlin took us to Monkey land, Bird of Eden, Storms River Bridge (walked to the other side of the bridge and back). Went to a beautiful national park. This was well worth the tour. Strongly recommended. If you can request Carlin Tour, you’ll be in for a treat.
Thanks so much for the 5 star review. It was a pleasure meeting your group and spending the day on the Garden Route with use.
