Fantastic trip. Tour guide Liezel was awesome! - We had a great time. The tour guide ( Liezel) was very friendly and took personal interest in taking care of us. She is informative and answered our questions. We would like to thank Liezel for making this tour very pleasant for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing scenic points around Cape Town regional area. Breath taking scenic views along the garden route tour and stay in Knysa was our high light of our tour. We would highly recommend this company ‘ hotspot2c travel tours. Rajah and Aathi

Amazing - Our Garden Route Tour was my biggest highlight of my time in South Africa! From seeing the Stars on the beach, to bungee jumping off of a terrifying bridge, I would not take back any of it! Our Tour guide Neville was so much fun as well, and we wouldn't have had nearly as great of an experience without him. His knowledge of all the places we visited was unrivaled, and him being a fun loving person definitely helped. 11/10 recommend!

The beauty of the Garden route - The tour was very good, balanced in terms of time and scheduled activities. Our guide, Mr Nev, was attentive and in a good mood with the group, talking not only about the places we visited but also giving a cultural and historical dimension of South Africa that I really liked and made a difference. I recommend it as a good three-day program, especially to discover the stunning beauty of the garden route. Places with wonderful animals take care of them and are sustainable and important spaces for preservation!!
