South Africa City sightseeing Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our City sightseeing South Africa tours
June | Traveled in June
I really loved this trip from beginning to end. There were lots of adventures to do, animals to see up close, places to visit and great food/alcohol. It was wonderful to have it all organized for me - I just had to turn up. It was great to have all of the above, coupled with the history which you often miss when organizing your own trip. Many of my friends were envious!
Amelie Parkin | Traveled in January
My friend and I are both retired teachers in our late 60s. We’ve been to Europe a few times so we wanted to try something new and off the usual tourist path. This tour of South Africa and Dubai was a great choice. We appreciated that the pace wasn’t too fast. There were days with early starts, especially for safaris, but it was worth it. Kruger National Park was incredible. We saw a herd of elephants. Seeing a baby elephant brought tears of joy! The guides knew exactly where to look and explained everything clearly. Both of us are fans of good wine, so we chose to do an optional tour of the winelands in Stellenbosch. We tried a variety of wines and cheeses. It was surely a wholesome day. Dubai was something else entirely. So modern and so clean. We saw Burj Khalifa and wow, it's massive and elegant in a way. We were comfortable the whole way. I’d say this was a great trip, and you can try it, too.
