I want to start by saying... this would not have been possible without Armando I do not speak English, and he made me understand I only speak Spanish, and he made me understand Language is not a barrier when someone like Armando makes a magical place bring out all its magic Every tourist needs an Armando on their trip. May the magic of South Africa endure
Our tour with Ely was informative, fun, and full of beautiful coastal views and sites. It was a full day at a great value, even with entrance fees for various sites not included. I highly recommend.
We had an excellent day! We had many stops at beautiful locations allowing us to take unforgettable photos for our trip, despite the bad weather at the beginning of the day. Special mention for our guide Gabriel, who was very friendly, attentive, always had a word for laughter while detailing the history of South Africa based on each place we passed through. I 100% recommend this excursion with the FTeme Tour team!

Though we had confirmation, evidently the driver was not told so we were not picked up on time for our excursion. Had to call Viator to find out what happened, who connected us to operator who put us on a similar trip but not the one we booked. Sweated that one out and unnerving, plus had to go to a place we'd already been! But we liked our guide, Armando, very much.
Dear Valued customer Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the pickup confusion and the stress it caused at the start of your day.
