Amazing time in Cape Town - I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked the tour . It was our first time in South Africa, and we didn't know how to plan the trip, so we booked this tour through the Viator based only on reviews. And it was amazing !!! It did not disappoint, from the beginning to the very end , every day was packed with activities to explore the most beautiful parts of this side of Africa . From game drives to beautiful scenery to ziplining , climbing , wineries, and most importantly, seeing animals in their own environment was an unforgettable experience. We did have to get up early every day, move from one place to another ( with our luggage) and spend a lot of time driving, but it was all worth it, and I would do it over again. Big shout out to our tour guide Maudi , he was very knowledgeable, kind and willing to go out of his way to make our time unforgettable. His job is his passion and it shows

Perfect trip to start exploring South Africa! - Amazing trip which was very professionally organized by Hotspots2c. We’ve been informed of our pick up times early enough and our guide Mr Nev was fantastic! He went above and beyond to show us the beauty of his country and involved everyone in the group by adapting spontaneously to our wishes. The Botlierskop Safari and the Tsitsikama national park were breathtaking. We were lucky to see all of the big 5! Would definitely recommend and book again.

one of the best trips, our tourguide Maudi was amazing! this is an absolute recommendation! - One of the best trips I've ever booked. We did this journey in July, so in the winter months. Our tourguide was Maudi (he's absolutely brilliant!! he really made this trip so much more memorable!) We started with the Wine-Tour and the Cape Point Tour and then had the five day Garden Route. We were kept updated about the tour to the perfect amount by hotspots (the communication really worked so well) and it never felt unorganized. The activities planned and the optional ones worked perfectly together and the itinerary was just brilliant. I have so many good memories of this, be it the Addo-Safari, the bus drive through the mountains, meeting other people in the greatly picked hostels or the animals we got to see. The bus was very comfortable too, even for the 12 people we were in this group. As I said, Maudi was a big part of this. He made sure we were always on time, had good food and felt comfortable, he was so patient with us too and was honestly super fun! Overall this trip deserves a 100/10 and I would recommend it to everyone! Thank you to hotspots and Maudi! Hopefully we'll be able to do trips with them again soon.

Best tour operator - My friend and I booked the 7-day combo tour including Garden Route, Winetour and Cape of Good Hope. Our guide TK (5-day Garden Route) was great! He organized every day perfectly. Lunch was always already on the table when we arrived at the restaurant, the activities were always planned without waiting and he also always explained interesting things about South Africa during the trip. We really recommend Hotspots2c. The reservation worked flawlessly and we were constantly kept up to date by Tammy (reservation manager). It was simply a wonderful vacation in South Africa.

Awesome tour with TK, Tour guide master - My wife and I went on our honeymoon in South Africa and this was the first thing that we had planned right off the plane. I couldn’t have been more happy that we decided to do this tour. Our tour guide TK truly was the highlight of our honeymoon. His hospitality, charisma, and genuine personality made us feel like we had made a friend for life. He had a deep knowledge of everywhere you go on the tour as well as general South African history. He would go out of his way over and over again to make sure every person on the tour was having the best experience possible. I’ve ton hundreds of tours in America and worldwide and TK was the best guide I’ve ever had. We choose to do the 4-star package and all of the accommodations were excellent. They are all bed and breakfasts that are privately owned so everything is very intimate. As far as the tour itself you are seeing and doing things in South Africa that I would have never planned on doing on my own. Going to feed elephants, climb through caves, zip line through national parks, going on private game safaris, and most uniquely going to small towns and villages that are very remote and having meals in local restaurants. There is a lot packed into 7 days along with a ton of driving, so it can be exhausting, but if you want to see and do as much as possible I would highly recommend this tour.

Born in Cape Town worked there for 10 Years in Travel and did the Garden Route too many times to mention - I have travelled to many places in the World, but Cape Town is one of the most beautiful, I go back every year. Ask me

Awesome experiences every day! - This trip was amazing. We were spoiled by our guide, Maudi, who gave 200% to ensure our comfort. 10 stars for Maudi! There was a lot of driving, but we were able to experience places in South Africa that otherwise would have remained unknown to us. There were no disappointments so the driving was necessary, and therefore worth it! If possible, make sure to go on the elephant walk. It was a favorite, as was the safari, wine tasting at Simonsig in Stellenbosch and having breakfast with our marvelous hostess in Khayamandi who treated us to chakalaka, fry bread and rooibos tea. Everything was so much fun. We booked the luxury accomodations, and again we were not disappointed. The Agulhas Country Inn and Restaurant was my favorite. My spouse liked the safari tent accomodations at Buffelsdrift Lodge which had a wonderfully relaxing pool. We both enjoyed a wonderful dinner at De Viskijf where we dined on exquisitely prepared game meats, including ostrich, kadu and springbocke, and enjoyed a very tasty Bibotie. Try and visit via taxi and ask for waitstaffer Bianca. But in the end, the tour would not be complete without Maudi, who went above and beyond. Highly recommended Hotspots2C!

Two Day Tour - Wine Route + Two Safaris - I thoroughly enjoyed my two-day tour with Maudi. He was a brilliant, enthusiastic guide and the scenic Wine Route, two safaris, and a pit stop in Mossel Bay were all fantastic. (Having said that, Viator seems to have mixed up the tour descriptions: I thought I had signed up to a two-day Garden Route + Safari tour, but went on a Wine Route + Safari tour. I wasn't too fussed, but contrary to the title above, I did not do a 7 Day tour... A similar mix up seems to have affected an Italian woman on my tour, who was very upset about it, so I suggest you double-check directly with the tour company to avoid disappointment.)

Great time on Garden Route - This was a week long trip to Garden Route, Cape Point and Winelands. Our group was very small and our guide was super nice and knowledgeable. He was always on time and ready to help out. The booking with the HotSpots was also seamless and they were always very friendly and responsive.
