Traveler reviews
Day to spend with family
Day at the top everything is organized around activities for children as much taste as fun The driver is very friendly and adapts to demand
Discovery and tasting day
Ideal outing to do with your children. Everything is done so that he can enjoy during that day. We had a good time. The guide does not speak French as proposed on the site .
Some parts could be improved to make this the best
The concept of the tour is absolutely brilliant and I was so excited for this. It was the perfect family combination, I thought. But in the end all we got really was a driver rather than a tour guide. I have no complaints about the driver, he was nice and friendly and a good safe driver, but essentially I could have booked a driver through my hotel (I am sure for much less than I paid for the tour) and stopped off at the various locations. Also the destinations that were selected were great, so this was also a good point. None of the entrance fees were included, he did not guide us around any of the stops. It cost almost 5000 ZAR and I did not see the value for money. I believe it could be the best tour ever with a few small changes, but unfortunately it is not quite there yet.
Excellent service
