Fantastic day travelling with Luther - After booking confirmation, Floranda sent through greetings with all the details, collection from our accommodation and arrival time of Luther. He arrived 15mins earlier and personally cared for my wife and self with utmost respect, courtesy and friendship as if family. We were escorted at attractions, opened doors, rest brakes and even stopped for after tour soft drinks. Luther was a knowledgeable guide and such an ease to talk to. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Excitement Travel & Tours for this trip or any other. If ever back in Cape Town I would contact this service provider again. Well done Luther and thanks again. Bruce S.

Best way to spend a day in Cape Town. - We had a most enjoyable day with Jeffrey. What a fount of knowledge he is and such a warm and personable man. He shared a lot of history with us but also keen insights into the dynamics that make beautiful South Africa the incredible country it is today. We saw and learned a lot and Jeffrey pointed me in the direction of some good reading I will do when I get home. I would do this tour again next time we are in Cape Town.
