Amazing day with Ruben!
If you are doing any of the tours by this company in Cape Town, I highly recommend that you request Ruben. We spend the entire day together at the game reserve and winery. One of the best tours I have ever taken and Ruben was the reason it was so special! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide 5 stars!!!!

awesomeness
Acquila was excellent. Exceeded our expectations. Our safari driver was determined to find the lions and he did. They were hidden high in the rocks. We would do Aquila again without a second thought.
