Bo-kaap

You made our trip unforgettable. Thank you for your excellent guidance. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you for everything.

Beyond incredible

Published on Sep, 2024

If you want the best of the best. Joseph is the best. Book now you will not regret. All his tours are beyond incredible. Thank me later.

Exceptional Experience!

Published on Aug, 2024

After our Robben Island tour was canceled due to weather Joseph took the time to take us on a city tour instead. We were able to customize our tour to things we hadn’t already seen. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited. Joseph made sure we had dinner reservations and even took us up Signal Hill for sunset. We had an amazing time!

Half day CapeTown tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Joseph arranged a wonderful tour of Cape Town that included an emphasis on history and culture. We visited the Castle of Good Hope and received a great tour of the area. He took us to the Bo Kapp neighborhood as well as the Iziku Museum and the Company Gardens. We visited the site of Nelson Mandela’s speech given upon his release as well as to the top of Signal Hill for breathtaking views of Cape Town. We also visited some of the beach towns such as Camps Bay. It was the perfect blend of a walk through and experiencing the significant culture of Cape Town. We highly recommend Joseph and his tour company. He gave wonderful and personalized service.
