About Me
I was born in South Africa, went to school & studied in Cape Town & Stellenbosch. Since then I have lived in and visited several countries across the world. Cape Town, as it does, has captured my heart. As a registered cultural and adventure guide in 5 provinces over South Africa, with over 25 years of experience, I don't just show you the sights; I reveal the soul of this country. My philosophy is simple: under-promise and over-deliver. In a city as breathtaking as Cape Town, exceeding your expectations is my specialty. Whether you're seeking hidden cultural gems or iconic landmarks, I ensure every moment is seamless, safe, and life-changing. You’ve earned this adventure, don’t settle for a standard tour when you can have a transformational experience.
Standard Tours
Cape Point with a difference
Experience Cape Town without the rush. Forget the 7:00 AM alarms. We believe a holiday should actually feel like one. Our signature experience begins at a civilized 10:00 AM, giving you the luxury of a slow breakfast or a morning stroll before we whisk you away. The Hidden Gems & Penguin Encounters We bypass the tourist convoys in favour of the scenic route. We’ll introduce you to our favorite "hidden gems"—the quiet corners of the coastline that most operators find "too much effort" to reach. You won’t just see the African Penguins from a crowded boardwalk; we’ll take you to a secluded beach where you can encounter these "Jackass" penguins in a more intimate, natural setting. A Culinary Crossroads & Secret Vistas By midday, we reach a hub of world-class coastal dining where you are spoilt for choice, regardless of your palate. Once recharged, we enter the Cape of Good Hope. While we visit the iconic landmarks, we also dive off the beaten path to our "Secret Picnic Spot"—a tranquil haven far from the tour-bus crowds. The Most Beautiful Drive in the World As we exit the National Park, prepare for a coastal drive second to none. We wind along the world-famous Chapman’s Peak, passing through the glamorous stretches of Camps Bay and Clifton. With the late afternoon light hitting the Atlantic, the photo opportunities are unparalleled. The Grand Finale: A Table Mountain Sunset We timed this day perfectly. As the sun begins its descent, we board the cable car to the summit of Table Mountain. Standing 1,000 meters above the shimmering city, you’ll enjoy a leisurely stroll with 360-degree views as the sky turns to gold. Back in Time for Dinner As twilight fades, we descend the mountain. You’ll be back at your accommodation within 10 minutes—perfectly timed for your dinner reservation. You’ll end the day not just with photos, but with a renewed spirit. This isn't just a tour; it’s the reason people fall in love with Cape Town. Book your seat and experience the Cape as it was meant to be seen.
Custom Tours
Unchartered Seafood extravaganza & Wine tasting tour
Escape the crowds and discover the Cape’s best-kept secret. While the rest of the world rushes to the typical Winelands, your day begins at a leisurely 10:00 AM, allowing you to fully embrace your holiday morning. We trade the city traffic for a scenic coastal pilgrimage, heading in the opposite direction of the tourist trails toward a hidden stretch of shoreline. The Seafood Feast of a Lifetime Your destination is a rustic, open-air kitchen right on the sand. Here, the ocean is your backdrop and the wood fire is the heart of the experience. Watch as your meal is prepared right in front of you—freshly caught seafood, sizzling over open flames. Between the many courses of this decadent West Coast feast, you are encouraged to take a barefoot stroll along the water’s edge—the perfect way to "make space" for the next delicacy. Boutique Vines & Elevated Views Once satisfied, we transition from salt air to rolling vineyards. We visit a handpicked selection of unique, off-the-beaten-path wine estates. These aren’t your standard tasting rooms; these are locations chosen for their rare vintages, artisanal pairings, and panoramic views that most travelers never get to see. Return Transformed We’ll have you back at your accommodation by late afternoon, invigorated by the sea air and fine wine. You’ll have plenty of time to refresh before dinner, reflecting on a day that didn’t just show you Cape Town—it made you fall in love with it. Book your seat at the fire. This isn't just a tour; it’s the highlight of your holiday.
