    The tour was so beautiful. Our guide, Paul was very knowledgeable and very kind. The places where we stayed were beautiful and comfortable. We had choices for food, and we even tried eating ostrich. I highly recommend this tour

    Paul was an excellent tour guide and was really friendly and knowledgeable. He helped make space for a few extra things when I said I was into more outdoorsy stuff (kayaking at kynsna was amazing, and hiked a small part of the otter trail) so I had a great time and feel I saw most of the highlights of the garden route in a short space of time. I saw this under the "group trips for solo travellers" section of the website but turned out to be the only traveller in the group - it would have been nice to have met some other people, but it was a last minute booking so not complaining, just expected there might have been a few other people travelling too! The Garden Route is lovely; really green and great for plant life, with amazing beaches, and is a very laid back and relaxed part of South Africa. All the places I stayed on the tour were lovely, clean, and comfortable.

      Do you offer an extra day that we could stay one night on the way to George? We would start in Cape Town, stay one night and go to George to join the tour? If this is a possibility, would you mind giving us a quote?

    • Explore South AfricaOperatorWritten November 2024

      To add an extra day the cost would be US$ 80 per person. This would include spending time in the Winelands and your overnight accommodation with Breakfast. Not included are meals and any activities you choose to do such as wine tasting.
