We went on a tour with Candice and Mabee in April 2024. Was very well planned and we went to multiple locations. Loved that Candice included some of SA history along the way, very informative! Overall 5/5 stars, great tour if you have limited time in Cape Town and want to to make the most of it!

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Cape Town! Candice and Mabii were amazing guides! They were super friendly, knowledgable, flexible enough to accommodate our special requests, answered all of our questions, offered to be our photographers for the day and even taught us some words in Afrikaans and isiXhosa! We truly had a blast and saw a tremendous amount of attractions in one day: Cape of Good Hope, the penguins at Boulders Beach, the seal colony at Hout Bay, Chapman's Peak drive and even stopped at an Ostrich Farm. We'd definitely recommend this tour. Thank you Candice and Mabii for an unforgettable day!

Our day tour of Cape Town with the incredible duo of guide Candice and driver Marbee was nothing short of amazing. Despite the early morning fog, which eventually cleared to reveal a stunning day, we were able to experience so much thanks to their expertise and enthusiasm. From encountering seals to getting a picture with an ostrich, every moment was filled with excitement and wonder. One highlight was encountering a shunned baboon, kicked out from his group to live a solo life, a unique and unforgettable experience. The tour also provided opportunities to see antelope and the adorable penguins of Boulder Bay, which served as a perfect wind-down to the end of the day. Candice and Marbee ensured that every moment was enjoyable, informative, and memorable. For those with limited time who want to experience all the big highlights of the area, this tour is an absolute must. Thank you, Candice and Marbee, for an unforgettable day filled with great pictures and memories!

Candice and Mabee did an excellent job! I learnt so much about South Africa from Candice and Mabee was a great driver who also sang for us. They were really communicative and always there to take pictures. Even as a solo traveller I felt not solo. Highly recomment to explore Cape of Good Hope with them!
