South Africa 12-Day Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our 12-Day South Africa tours
We were a big group of 15. Everyone got on well. Our leader, Petro Pretorius, was exceptional. Her knowledge was encyclopaedic and she was warm, open & resourceful. At all times we felt safe & confident in her care. She really went the extra mile for us. The food & wine was outstanding and also ridiculously cheap. Our itinerary was well thought out & enjoyable. Accommodation was always clean & well appointed. Accommodation hosts & local people were unfailingly friendly & helpful
Excellent trip for the family. Some long traveling days, but the travel enabled us to explore & experience the amazing scenery & wildlife South Africa has to offer. Great trip and an excellent guide. (Wern).
This was the most brilliant trip - long cycles - hot days and freezing cold nights - August! The group were great, supportive and fun and the tour guides and cycle guide brilliant.
No matter how much reading you do, you can never be totally prepared for any cycle tour. There are always surprises in store and of course the people you meet, the guides and fellow cyclists are a key factor in the ultimate overall experience. The scenery on this tour was dramatic and at times absolutely fabulous, especially in the 2nd half when we returned to Cape Town along the coast. There were times when the weather was a little difficult and on one stretch of coastline with mountainous cliffs on one side and a sheer drop to the sea on the other, we were frequently 'blown about' or stopped in our tracks by the wind in our faces. It all added to the excitement and sheer enjoyment of the cycling, it certainly wasn't boring! The guides were excellent, they didn't allow us to cycle when it was too dangerous but at the same time we were able to tackle some demanding climbs and descents and the cycling was generally just within the capabilities of the group.
First group tour for me and I was relieved to find I loved it! My husband had done charity group trips before but not a ‘holiday’. Very varied in terms of accommodation styles, experiences, landscape, seascape and people on the trip - both on the minibus and locals. Excellent guide too!
Ive just finished the 12 days South Africa adventure. The trip was one of the most amazing and unforgettable experiences, it was well organised, stress-free and so much fun. A highlight was spotting the big five on safari! We were so lucky to have Dan as group leader, he was a great guide, helpful, made sure we were comfortable and made the experience even better. Ive just booked two more intro trips and would 100% recommend any trip with Intro Travel based on my experience in South Africa.
