What a thoroughly moving and inciteful tour , visiting the scene of recent shameful history. It was worth price of the tour, just have met Faz from ML Sultan Travel , she is incredible , a true force of nature. Nothing was too much trouble , she did everything she could to make the tour memorable ,which it was ! This included when she was off the clock, taking time to help us find the perfect restaurant for dinner .😊. Thank you Faz xx

Faz was absolutely amazing. Our hotel concierge was unable to get us tickets for this tour. Faz leveraged her connections and got us FIVE tickets within less than 24 hours. Not only does she have the connections to make your experience top notch, but she is so friendly, warm and welcoming. She far exceeded our expectations. We learned a lot on the tour. It was very somber and an absolute don't miss. Don't be afraid to ask the tour guide questions. The surprise at the end was a highlight for us! You'd be wise to opt for that!!
Hasanna i absolutely love your name! If i was able to have another child, that would be the name i would choose! Your name ls as beautiful as your character. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you and your fabulous friends. You guys were soooooooo friendly and warm hearted. May God bless and keep you safe always.. Best wishes for your future. With Gratitude and Thanks. Faziela.
Faz and her son picked me up, told me all the information I needed to know, showed me around the jetty museum, took me to the boat, gave me snacks, then picked me up from the boat, took photos for me and returned me to my accommodation. They were both so lovely and knowledgeable. Thank you! Robben Island itself was an incredible experience. Having an ex political prisoner as a guide was a very informative and emotional experience, especially being shown his cell.
Amy S! you were sooo friendly and courteous. A pity you had to rush off back to hotel for your transfer. it would have been nice to stop off for a milkshake or a coffee. Hope ro see u next time you in Cape Town. We truly value you and we are so very grateful and thankful that you chose us for your Robben Island tour. Indeed a great experience wirh ex prisoners as guides. Wishing you love, happiness and success for your future. Safe flight home after 40days! with lots of grattitude, Faziela and Shuaib.
Our host, Ms. Fazeela was awesome! Very passionate and informative. The weather is very unpredictable, so a ride to the island is a privilege, not a right. We loved the boat ride and the additional information shared on the way back.
Hallo There Mr Moise B. Many thanks for your kind words, it was awesome to meet your kind self and Ms Shewanee. I like what you said about the ride to the island, very true indeed! I hope to see you and your family again in the near future. Faziela God's richest blessings & balance.
I booked this tour to the Robin Island in the last minute. The booking status was "pending" since the tickets had been sold out for that day. After knowing this was my last day in Cape Town, Faziela (the guide) spent about an hour with the staff at the harbor and managed to get a ticket for me! She is such a nice lady and she understands and cares her customers. I recommend their tours to everyone visiting Cape Town.
ahhh, Junfeng, it was lovely to meet you, very kind person you are. I'm glad that you appreciated the fact that we got a last minute ticket for you. Of course we must care and worry about our valuable guests! We are grateful and thankful to you for giving us 5 out of 5 (*_*) Wishing you peace and blessings.
