5.00Ray is an excellent guide. He was punctual, made sure we were comfortable, accommodated all our requests and was a font of knowledge. He gave us bite sized information without overwhelming us. We look forward to booking with him again.
Incredible Adventure!

5.00Wonderful experience with our Driver/Tour Guide: Mr. Talent. He's literally so talented: very friendly, kind and knowledgeable about the history of South Africa! It was great visiting the iconic Robben Island museum and having a guided tour of the place in a bus (the highlights were learning about the heartbreaking story of Robert Sobukwe; taking photos at the huge photoframe with Table Mountain in the background and buying a little painting of the island & fridge magnet as souvenirs) at a stop; and seeing the infamous limestone quarry at which political prisoners were subjected to 8 hours of daily hard labor. We were then handed over to a former inmate who spent 7years at the infamous jail. He narrated his harrowing ordeal and the tour culminated into visiting Nelson Mandela's jail cell: 466/64. The place has such huge historical, political and cultural significance on South Africa's past, present and future! We then sailed back to the Waterfront on the mighty Atlantic Ocean, and caught glimpses of Dolphins and Seals in the water. After, we drove across town to the Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope. What an honor it was to "walk in the footsteps" of the great Portuguese explorers: Vasco da Gama & Bartolomeu Dias, and hiking up the historic old Lighthouse (1860-1919). The icing on the cake was photo moments at the Cape of Good Hope (the furthest Southern point of the African continent and witnessing the point where the Atlantic & Indian oceans meet. A day I'll never forget! :)
Excellent full day out.

5.00I cannot express enough how AMAZING this tour was. It’s new, so if the one review is off putting to you, all I’ll say is - Be a leader and not a follower… Book it! Ray was a phenomenal guide. As this was the last activity I booked after putting my trip to Cape Town together, I really wish I booked all of our tours with them. Kasi Africa Tours offers an amazing variety of tours on their website. And if their team is as amazing as Ray is, I’m sure these reviews will skyrocket in no time. From beginning to end, the customer service I experienced when I reached out to Ray prior to booking was PHENOMENAL. He was very patient with me through the booking process and once we got to Cape Town, the experience in itself was amazing. Our day started with the Robben Island Tour, then we got lunch upon returning to the marina. Then it was off to Boulder’s Beach where we got to see some penguins and explore the beach ourselves a bit. Next, we headed to Cape of Good Hope. Upon the way we saw some animals (Baboons, Ostriches, etc). Ray stopped every time so we could get some videos and photos, and he even gave us some insight to the animals. When we got to Cape of Hope, we got to roam around and Ray even took some videos and pictures for us! Our scenic drive to Chapman’s peak was so beautiful. Ray gave us the history of the towns we were passing along the way and pointed out some of Cape Town’s treasures as well. The point of Chapman’s peak was gorgeous. We got so many photos and videos at our stop. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Kasi Africa Tours also offers transportation services. So, we luckily got to see our friend Ray again when he took us to our safari. I would HIGHLY recommend them if you’re in Cape Town or visiting for the first time. You will not be disappointed. 12/10!

5.00The whole day was fantastic from start to finish. Ray, from the moment he met us at our hotel, was an amazing guide, friendly, courteous, accommodating and so informative on all aspects of the tour….and much more!! We will definitely recommend him to any family or friends and should we be lucky enough to return to Cape Town in the future, we would love him to draw up an itinerary for us (the Garden Route definitely on our wish list!!!) & to be our guide for same. Thank you so much Ray, a truly memorable day. Kieran & Anne, Ireland
