Great individual tour

Our driver Gordon was able to easily reschedule the appointment and organized and led a great tour with individual extra requests. Absolutely recommended.

Wine and Olive product tasing, museum about the San people, and visit to a Fossil dig site with bones 5.2 million years

Our driver Gordon picked us up at 8:00 am and we drove to an Olive and wine tasting facility in Darling. We tasted 3 wines and about 12 other products made with olives. We bought a bottle of cinnamon infused olive oil and olive marinade which tasted like fruit cake jam. Our next visit was a stop at the San people museum who have lived in South Africa for 40,000 yeasts as hunters and gatherers. We explored the museum and listened to native stories told on a large screen. Then we started a guided tour through the 3rd museum where we learned how the San people made beaded jewelry out of ostrich eggshell. Our third stop was to the West Coast Fossil Museum where we visited a dig site of many bones, most of which were short necked giraffes. This museum had replicas of the short necked giraffe made out of pieces of wood. Gordon delivered us back to Cape Town. He was very helpful explaining how the tour for the two of us would proceed and let us make modifications to the schedule because we had extended visits to the 2 museums.

Top Tour

We had an awesome tour yesterday—we spent about 10 hours at the Cape with Gordon, our tour guide, and Hakim, the driver. It was a super engaging and informative tour; we learned tons of interesting facts. Thanks to Gordon's eagle eye, we even spotted a whale in the sea. It was a fantastic tour that's absolutely worth it!

Fabulous West Coast Day Trip

The tour started with a stop at Big Bay to watch wind surfers and view Table Mountain and Cape Town. Then on to Darling Olives for tastings of olives, olive oils, spreads and jams paired with 3 local wines. Try the chocolate olive oil sausage, it's delicious. Next stop was !Khwa ttu village where we chose the Way of the San tour. Our guide explained the lives of the San people and demonstrated how they hunt and live. From there we drove to the West Coast Fossil Park where we had lunch followed by a tour of the fossil tunnel. The guide explained the fossils we saw that are still buried in the earth. Next we drove through Langbaan and the West Coast National Park with a stop to view the Atlantic Ocean. On our way back to Cape Town, we saw eland, ostriches, an eagle with something in its claws (maybe a snake) and springbek on a golf course. Gordon, our guide/driver, was outstanding. His knowledge of SA history and culture made the day one we will remember for years.
