The hike was beautiful, as expected. The transfer also worked perfectly. The tour guide was extremely friendly and the organization was highly professional. As I suspected, I was only able to understand a small part of the guide's explanations because English is not my native language. I had estimated that I would understand around 40% of the explanations, as my knowledge of English is quite good. Unfortunately, the guide spoke a kind of distinct native-speaker English, I couldn't tell whether it was Irish, Scottish or another dialect. So I could only understand about 20%. Thankfully, there were occasional discussions between the guide's explanations with German-speaking participants in which what was presented was discussed and was therefore a little easier to understand. I strongly recommend that the guide take an intensive English course for 'non native speakers' so that you can understand him.

The trip was excellent. The Comms prior to the visit were very good. My questions were answered promptly and the change in location was communicated clearly the day before. However what really made our trip was our English guide Ian. Being British ourselves, Ian was very easy to relate to as he was British himself. This made the tour extra personable. The hike is around 6km but we took regular breaks. It is a once in a lifetime experience. Would definitely book again

The driver was rigid because my girlfriend's booking for 3 people only stated her name and she was initially allowed to come along alone. Not two other friends. Turned out okay in the end! Was texting while driving on the high road. Quite dangerous! Kloof was fantastically beautiful but I found the guide a bit too long-winded. Especially when it started to rain and thunder we wanted to move quickly…
