I booked the 2 August tour last minute and had a great day out. Jasper and Ruth filled our day with great stories and history, whilst Division safely ferried us around in the comfortable, big, red bus. There was plenty to see across the route and ample time at the two main stops. Would definitely join xplorertours again when I visit Cape Town next!

Yasper was an entertaining insightful guide. It was really fun and interesting hearing about the rich culture and lore behind the sites we visited. Shout out to division for navigating the tight windy roads; can’t be easy with the huge bus. Ruth was an awesome hostess, making everyone feel welcome and taken care of. Overall, would definitely recommend to friends and family.
