Great guide and good value

What a fabulous tour. Our driver Leon was excellent, and our guide Noma incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. A great way to see many of South Africa’s sights in one day.

Great trip

Trip was very well paced. We were only in shuttle for 30min at a time. Had many stops, but didn’t feel rushed. Nathan was very knowledgeable. He tailored the trip to the groups interest (eg making an extra stop at one of the beaches). Kept the trip going smoothly even when we forgot to buy tickets to cape of good hope beforehand. We had a good time with our fellow shuttle-mates too, everyone was very friendly.

Amazing Tour around Cape Town

The Tour was really good. The Guider Jeff was really taking care of us the whole time and was explaining us the details of each part of the tour. Thank you Jeff!

Proactive Tour Guide allowed us to Maximize our Time

We had a great experience with Beyond Africa Safaris. We booked this experience the night before our excursion and did the VIP package to reduce any hassle with admissions fees and such, we did however pay for the Seal Island tour which was well worth it. We spent a good amount of time at each of the stops and appreciated that our guide, Nathan went above and beyond to tailor our timing to the group’s desires. His expert timing allowed us to arrive to many of the tourist attractions before the larger buses unloaded meaning we maximized our time and minimized the time spent in crowds. We had a total of five people in our tour and it was an amazing day overall. This was such a meaningful experience for my daughter (22) and I, which allowed us to truly connect with Cape Town and our guide. For lunch we had the option to eat at the Lighthouse Rest Stop or continue onto Simon Town and eat lunch there which was the much better choice for our group. We ended up at Bertha’s where we had some delicious fish and chips and salad. Overall a 10/10 day thanks to Nathan and the rest of the BAS team.
