5.00Frank was very knowledgeable about the history, animals, and plant life of the area. He even suggested a great lunch place. I highly recommend booking this tour.

5.00Our bike tour of the cape was the highlight of our trip in South Africa. Patrick not only covered all of the highlights of the peninsula but also showed us a few local spots as well. He was very laid back and accommodating to whatever pace or level of intensity we wanted. He provided valuable insight on what to do for the rest of our time in Cape Town. Top notch bikes. The views during the tour were absolutely stunning and should not be missed on any trip to Cape Town. A must do!
Intensive and very nice overview of the cape

5.00We toured Cape Town with Patrick for three days. He is a very knowledgeable guide who takes you to all the right spots to truly experience Cape Town. Some things that really stood out with Patrick: how clean his car was, he was always early or on time, and he always opened and closed everyone's doors. In a world of commercialized tourism, he is a special guide who uses his unique persona and immense experience to wow his guests and give them an unforgettable time! Cape Escape Tours offers a safe and professional environment for a wide range of people including rock climbers, mountain bikers, avid hikers, and tourists anywhere in between. If you are coming to cape Town and want a good experience, you better choose Patrick or you will be missing out... he is simply the best there is.

5.00We had a fabulous time with our guide, Frank! He was very knowledgeable about each place we visited and kept us entertained with fun stories of his exploits throughout the day! We loved the self-paced freedom and his patience with every stop. Having a personal guide gave us the flexibility we were looking for and we highly recommend this tour! We have lots of great photos to remember our day, especially ones he so willingly took of us both!
