Great trip! TK was so helpful and always available to help. The hostels we stayed in were amazing and the activities even better, I strongly suggest the elephant walk, bungee jumping and sandboarding.

If you are a wine lover, this is the tour for you! We were picked up from our hotel, so no worries about having to drive. Shane, our guide, was friendly and talkative, made us feel like old friends. Tasted 8 different wines and 6 cheeses at Fairview wine estate and then another 5 wines and biltong at Marianne. A thoroughly enjoyable day. Recommended.

Choosing a tour operator to book tours with can be a little overwhelming, we knew we wanted to hire a guide for our Garden Route tour because I wanted a break from driving and also because I wanted to relax on holiday. My friends from Ireland recommended Rob at Cape Convoy and once I read the reviews the decision was easy. What to add to the reviews already written? We loved Rob! He was funny, knowledgeable and really knows what he is doing. It was just great fun. Recommended without hesitation. We took the tour in November 2019

The extremities of landmasses have always captured our imagination. To stand at the Southernmost Tip of the African Continent would certainly rank high within the realm of this sentiment. The Tour takes one over Sir Lowry's Pass and Houwhoek Pass to Hermanus where, in the whale season (July- Nov), a few moments will be spared for whale watching. The area has a rich history of maritime hardships. Then enjoy a glass of Bubbly at the southern most Tip of Africa and dip your toes in both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean!

Inclusions: Pick Up & Drop Off at your Accommodation, Private Air-Conditioned Vehicle, Bottled Water & WiFi on Board, Enty/ Admission at Lighthouse , Light Lunch

Exclusions: - Gratuities

Wonderful tour with Albert. He was punctual, friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. He gave explanations about all the places we visited and allowed enough time and space to explore. I did a private tour with him as a solo traveller and he made me feel at ease and comfortable.

One of the most sought after locations on the African continent. This an amazing trip which gives travelers an opportunity to drive in the country side which has outstanding landscapes. Along the way there are several farming communities who are into cattle farming and merino sheep. The combination of the valleys and the dramatic mountains is totally amazing. There also is lot of history and some outstanding museums.The Heuningberg Nature Reserve is a marvel to explore and the Shipwreck Museum is one of its kind in the entire Southern Hemisphere. The drive to Cape Agulhas takes you past struisbaai - one of the longest beaches in the southern hemisphere. Since this place is one of the richest fishing areas in the southern hemisphere it means travelers are spoiled for choice as they have lunch. The restaurants here are known to dish out the best and freshest seafood in the world.

A few years ago my family and I were looking for someone to help us plan our South African holiday and we discovered Cape Convoy in Trip Advisor. After Rob helpfully answered our questions we booked the Garden Route tour and it was a great decision. We all had a wonderful time, the kids lived Rob and the accommodation was well located. Rob also took us to the Cape of Good Hope and we loved the Penquins. If you're looking for a wonderful tour with a great guy then your search is over! Thanks Rob
