Such a good tour - so worth it! We had Wendy as our guide who was totally phenomenal - I can’t recommend her enough. She was so knowledgable and upbeat and organised, it made everything so easy and interesting. The views were stunning, the activities interesting, the food tasty, the hostels clean and secure - I can’t recommend enough!

The tour guide was super enthusiastic and involved and thinking along, and the trip was really fantastic. The different types of nature you pass through are beautiful and everything is super well organized!

Tour excellently arranged, guests get a good insight of important highlights along the Garden Route within a few days. I am fully satisfied with the accommodations and meals.

The trip has been very pleasant. We were 8 women and the guide with whom we formed a very well-matched group.
