the collaboration for the organization after our reservation that had been made only the day before was excellent. the means of transport used was not suitable, old and uncomfortable and with no amenities. discreet and helpful driver. prepared guide even if a little too repetitive in the details. for the cost paid for 4 adults I would have definitely thought of something more.

Has been a shame! I would like to put 0 starts, not 1. They never picked-us up at the hotel as agreed, they forgot of us. So we lost our unique day visiting the city. Also, they were not able to find for another guide, or try to offer to include us in other group on the same day, or to offer to pay a taxi for instance, or Uber for example, to join the rest of the group, in case is true that the tour was finally did, because I am not sure if we cannot rely on them. Besides, the description says that is included the visit of Apartheid museum. But today is Monday and the museum is closed until Wednesday, and all weeks is like this. We would definitely recommend you to book your plan with another company.
