Highlights - seal island, cape point, the national park, climb to the lighthouse, seafood lunch, and Muizenberg beach. Highly recommend, a must do!”

Review of Cape Town’s private airport transfer, covering price, pickup, comfort, timing, driver service, value, and booking advice.

“I booked this after reading about the questionable sounding taxi situation in Cape Town. I didn't want to have to deal with that after 20 hours in airplanes. The gentleman (Unfortunately I've forgotten his name) was easy to find, just past customs. He was very friendly and imformative; and we had a nice conversation all the way to the hotel. The driver was the first person (besides passport control) I interacted with in South Africa, and it proved to be a great start to my time here.”

“We came to South Africa for the first time from Korea for our honeymoon. Our guide, Chrismank, was incredibly kind and friendly! 😊 We were also very lucky with the weather, and his explanations were so clear and engaging that we learned a lot about South Africa that we didn’t know before. The trip felt very safe, and we had such a great time that the day just flew by. Huge thanks to our guide for making it such an enjoyable experience! ☺️”
