How I Work…

All my tours are private tours, priced per day for the group.

Guided Tours in Luxury

I’ve been working as a tourist guide based in Cape Town since 2000, registered with the Department of Economic Development & Tourism to guide in 5 of South Africa’s 9 provinces, so far: the Western, Northern & Eastern Cape, Gauteng and the North West Province.

I worked for one very large tour operator for the first few years, started freelancing in 2007, acquired my own touring vehicle in 2010, and set up my own business in the same year. Since then I continued to work for and with other small operators, but have increasingly prioritised growing my own business and clientele because between myself and you, my clients, we can make the right decisions to tailor your plans and give you the best experience!

I like detail and plan things well, but I still see every itinerary as an outline, subject to change and fine tuning depending on your interests, as well as circumstances on the day such as weather, traffic and your energy levels.

My focus is on planning and running tours, but I can also arrange accommodation and put packages together, of any size, duration or complexity, with the help of a 3rd party agent if necessary, especially for bookings outside of the Western Cape & Garden Route, my main areas of specialisation.

I work from my apartment in Milnerton, Cape Town, between being on the road with my clients – I’m not a consultant sitting in a call centre running software to generate impossible itineraries that I don’t care about or understand!

My vehicle is a 2012 model silver Mercedes Vito Shuttle 116CDI in immaculate condition. It is licensed to carry 7 fare-paying passengers by the Department of Transport, and is covered by comprehensive as well as passenger liability insurance, as required by law. It is unbranded and has carpets, a fire extinguisher, towbar, and a headset microphone and p.a. system which can be used if necessary for the hard of hearing or passengers at the back.

If you are group of larger than 7 passengers, I can arrange a larger vehicle to accommodate you.
