Remy was accommodative to the private tour and our itinerary. Was friendly and explained the history of Cape Town along the way. Too bad we had to shorten the trip as we wanted to visit Robben Island on our own. Overall, we had an amazing time visiting the Cape of Good Hope and the Penguins Colony along with Remy, our private tour guide.

Remmy was a wonderful driver for not only this tour, but our time in Cape Town. He listened to what we wanted to do and see, was polite, and answered all of our questions. He provided facts about the various areas we were in and took the time to stop at what we wanted to see. Remmy was wonderful and you cannot go wrong with having him be your tour guide!

Thank you, Remmy, for making our time in Cape Town so special!!!

Remy not only managed our tour, but also drove us over the course of our week in CT - and at a very reasonable rate.

Of course he was a courteous, timely professional driver, but was so much more than this. He really managed everything for my family at a very professional level.

My son, wife and I all agreed we were very lucky to have connected with him, and hope to hire him next time we're in CT.

I have a great deal of respect and gratitude for Remy - he really became a 4th family member over our week. We were all quite sad to say goodbye...!

This was an INCREDIBLE tour! I have been dying to experience Boulders Beach, see the penguins, and tour the peninsula and I’m so glad I did this tour with Remmy! We ended with Cape of Good Hope and he was accommodating when I wanted to walk around and spend more time there. If you are going to do this tour, do it with Remmy!

Four of us were collected from the Cruise Port and clicked with Remy immediately.
So much enthusiasm and knowledge, he was an amazing guide and companion throughout the tour.
The scenery was spectacular and we had the most memorable day, the stop off photography points were excellent.
His safe driving and local knowledge was priceless, nothing was too much trouble.
We got back to the Ship, tired but very, very happy.

Ask for Remmy!
We spent the most incredible day on a private tour. He is one of the most highly educated and articulate guides we have ever had, making the history of South Africa come alive. He suggested to start at the Cape of Good Hope, leaving Cape Town at 7am. First of his great ideas. We completely missed the crowds. We then had a scenic drive back north, hitting all the highlights along the way. What an amazing part of the world. Don't miss the penguins!
