Great Tour. A must do if you visit Cape Town. - This tour was great. I would recommend it. We were concerned as the tour didn't have as many reviews as the larger tours but we were pleasantly surprised by Nelson's hospitality and knowledge. My wife and I felt we were given a first-class private tour of Cape Town and its historical landscape by Nelson.

Good way to see CPT - I was the only on the trip which was great because Nelson adapted the schedule to my liking and the circumstances (bad weather). A great way to get to know CPT a bit if you only have a few hours to spare.

This is a must do when visiting Cape Town! - Cape Town was absolutely beautiful! Our guide Nelson did a great job explaining the history to us. We had a private tour, which made this experience even more enjoyable.

Very professional tour - Nelson our tour guide was brilliant. His knowledge of Cape Town and its history was very professional. We were shown so many sites off the usual tourist routes that informed us of the settlement of Cape Town right up to the current new establishments. Thank you Nelson. Dean and Vicki. Australia
