We had such a great time touring Hermanus through food! Susan was so knowledgeable about Hermanus’ history and took her time showcasing the best of the best. I have been to Hermanus many times but have never been to the places she recommended! I even have family here who as locals have never been to the wonderful restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops we enjoyed on the tour! 10/10 would recommend this food tour to anyone traveling to Hermanus!
