Patrick is an amazing...

Patrick is an amazing guide! He made sure we had a fabulous day and he tailored the tour to our wishes. He shared his incredible depth of knowledge on wildlife, flora, history, culture. The itinerary is amazing, I can't believe we saw so much in such a short amount of time. Absolutely breathtaking.

Beautiful scenery. Great guide.

Our guide, Patrick, was very knowledgeable, very nice and a safe driver. He had many stories to tell about history, his experiences in the area, and was able to answer many of our questions. We were not rushed at any stop and he was willing to pull over many times for photo ops. I highly recommend a tour with Patrick!

Operator response

We are absolutely thrilled --- We are absolutely thrilled

Cape Town Tour For our short stay in Cape Town, we chose a half-day tour that took us to the Cape of Good Hope and back. When we were looking through the many offers, we quickly noticed Patrick's. The reviews also spoke for him and so we booked the tour. On the day of the tour, Patrick picked us up right on time at the hotel and greeted us. We then set off on the tour straight away and were given detailed explanations about Cape Town. All of our questions were also answered in detail and he always responded to our requests for extra stops. So we were able to experience an absolute 5-star tour for two. In addition to English, Patrick also speaks fluent French. However, as we found English more comfortable, we preferred this. We always felt very comfortable and safe with Patrick the whole time. The tour even lasted a little longer than we had booked because we still had some time before boarding at the port. We can therefore only highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a tour guide for Cape Town and wants to experience an eventful few hours.

Frank was our guide. Amazing man, well traveled and smart, His knowledge of geography, history and politics was a plus to the trip, He even went over our allotted time which was above and beyond. Patrick is the coordinator and I give him a 10++ overall!
