We had a fantastic day with Mike. He was very informative, thoughtful and kind. He went well over the required time and kept it interesting throughout.
Hi James, Thank you so much for your 5 star review! We are so happy that you had a good time with Mike
Wonderful way to see and learn about top sites in and around Cape Town. Our guide, Werner, was terrific - extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and friendly.
We are delighted that you had a great day and thank you for the lovely review.
Very informative and well organisd. A stunning drive with amazing views. I thoroughly recommend this day tour.
Hi Martin, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your day with us. Thank you for the review
After waiting for 45 minutes and trying to contact the tour operator many times by txt and phone, we learned that the tour operator mistakingly had the wrong day for the tour and no other guide was available. We had to pay our hotel $360. for the same tour. This was $146. more than the very same tour we had already booked and paid for. I expect a full Viator refund as well as a $146. credit toward future bookings for the excess difference we had to pay. My wife and I are very devoted and loyal Viator clients with over 100 tour bookings since we began nearly full time international travel in January 2022. Please reply with your approval of this credit and any other compensation you believe is due for our inconvenience.
Our reservations manager had a medical emergency on the same day that we received your booking request from Viator, so please accept our sincere apology for her error. She did, however, manage to contact one of our tour guides who was able to step in at short notice on the day. But, unfortunately, you decided that you preferred to cancel the tour. She followed your instructions and gave you a full refund despite the fact that we were able to fulfill the booking (albeit starting at 09h30). We trust that you will accept that we can all make mistakes when under pressure and that our company track record (with 600+ five star reviews) is evidence that this is not the norm for us.
We had a wonderful day exploring the Cape Peninsula & Kirstenbosch. Our guide Mike was extremely knowledgable & took us to some great places varying the tour to suit our needs. He was more than willing to go the extra mile to make it special for us & we could not have enjoyed the day more, thanks.
Wow ! It's heartwarming to know that our visitors have had such a marvellous time. And five stars for Mike........
A wonderful and entertaing tour! Werner is extremely knowledgable and! He knows a lot about history, politics and nature. He was very flexible and adapted the tour to our preferences!
Werner does it again ! And we are most grateful for the five star review.
our guide Mike was amazing, he made the day flow seamlessly, the scenery on this trip is incredible.
It's well worth choosing a private tour with a professional tour guide like Mike for a Peninsula Tour. Thanks for the 5 stars !
As a solo traveler, this was the perfect way to get the most from a short time in Cape Town. Mike did a fantastic job of getting me to the places I wanted to see. His knowledge of the area also helped us dodge a log of the traffic!
Mike does it again........... We are delighted that you enjoyed your day and thank you for the five stars.
What a great day with Chris, he is an exceptionally nice person and a really great guide, very knowledgeable, very funny, just all around amazing, I learned so much and truly enjoyed every minute of our trip! If you have a chance to book a tour with Chris, do take it, you will be in for a nice experience!
Chris is our local historian and has an endless supply of knowledge as well as a lovely quirky sense of humour. Well done Chris !
We loved this full day tour. We had Mike as our guide and he even turned up with chocolates in hand in a very clean and comfortable car. He was a very knowledgeable tour guide, easy to understand and super friendly and accommodating to our needs. We didn't feel rushed at all. Mike's recommendations were also great and we enjoyed a lovely meal in Simon's Town. Would highly recommend this tour company and especially Mike as your tour guide.
It really warms our hearts when we get such lovely feedback from our visitors and many thanks for the five star review - much appreciated.
