What To Expect
You will be picked up from your accommodation in Cape Town as we are about to drive for 3 hours. Connecting on the National Highway road, that can take you to 3 provinces in South Africa, namely The Western Cape, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal Province. This is also the most busiest Highway in Cape Town, as it connects most people into the City center daily for work. Driving East out of Cape Town we will pass a Township called Khayelitsha. In Xhosa it means 'our new home'. This is the biggest township in Cape Town with a population of half a million. Many of these inhabitants works in the City and are daily dependent on public transport. Khayelitsha also has its own economy and has seen it grown from strength to strength over the years. Some of the inhabitants also works in the Cape Winelands region, as this is closer to home. Next we will pass Somerset West driving through Sir Lowry's Pass. The pass is named after Sir Galbraith Lowry Cole, who was a Govender of the Cape in 1828. Then we will pass the Steenbras dam. This dam is one of the dams that supplies water to the Province. Next we continue passing the Elgin Valley. This is the birth place of Appletizer. Created in 1966 by blending a fruit juice with carbonated water. As we still drive on the National Highway, we will pass Hermanus. This is the Bread Basket of South Africa. It gets its name because of its warm climate with its humid winters, which is ideal for wheat Cultivation. Then we will pass through a small town named Caledon. Primarily an Agricultural region that involves grain production and certain amount of stock farming. Next we will pass a small town in the Overberg region, Bredasdorp It is the main economic and service hub in this region, which makes it a bustling vibrant town.

5.00What you want from your tour operator is: good communication beforehand, friendly knowledgeable guide and punctual on the day. They scored 5/5 for each element. It was a great day. Depending on the size of the group there was also flexibility on what to do and how long to spend somewhere. Great day with great service
Cape Agulhas Tour

5.00Letitia and Johnny were a pleasure to work with. Letitia was immediately responsive and even though she had only me trying to book a tour to Agulhas she didn’t bother with a minimum person requirement. I basically had a private tour to Agulhas. Johnny picked me up early in the morning and was a warm, outgoing person to chat with on our ride to the cape. He never rushed me through anything. We sang along to music during our long car rides and he explained some of the history and current affairs of Cape Town. I had a peninsula tour the next day with a different company and when some of us hiked up at the cape of good hope and came down, we couldn’t find our tour guide. Turns out we didn’t realize we were supposed to hike to the restaurant at the top of hill but we didn’t receive instructions. We didn’t know how to get to the restaurant and we didn’t want to hike up again. Johnny was also there and identified me in the group of 4 and offered to take us to the restaurant so we didn’t have to hike up again. He is truly a kind and benevolent soul. I would recommend this small tour company to anyone visiting.
Nice tour

5.00This trip is a great day out. You go through a variety of landscapes between Cape Town and the southernmost tip of Africa, past farms and watersheds, vineyards and rocky coastlines. Three hours or so each way. Cape Agulhas itself is dramatic and reminds me so much of my home town's rugged south coast (Wellington, NZ). The lighthouse is amazing, getting close to 200 years old now. I recommend the climb to the top, but be prepared for the strong winds outside! The best part of the trip, though, was finding out that my "random" driver was none other than Johnny, who had been my group's driver the previous week. He's a great guy, a good professional driver, and a very knowledgeable guide. Three cheers!
