Really enjoyed this full day private tour with Santa Cruise Tours. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the city and the history. The route was scenic and so pretty. We had ample time for lunch and did a few stops in between for pictures. Pickup was timely and the car was comfortable and clean. I cannot recommend this company enough for your South African site seeing needs.

Un moment magique a partagé avec mes enfants. L'équipage était très attentionné et nous a permis de voir le balaineau et la maman baleine .

The experience was absolutely fantastic, not just the whale watching portion of the tour but even the journey to the event was very scenic. The whales were absolutely beautiful and we were really able to see them so close up. Tingo made sure I had a great time and gave me a lot of information about Cape Town throughout the day. He took the time to personalise the experience and made sure I really enjoyed myself! I highly recommend this tour, it was really a magical day.
