5.00Mike led this tour and was a great host. He had deep knowledge of Johannesburg and the history of South Africa, which he willingly shared. He was also very aware of my energy levels as I had just arrived in the prior day. Unfortunately the Apartheid Museum was unexpectedly closed, but Mike and Tim quickly pivoted to ensure I had a good historical perspective. Overall it was a great trip and a perfect introduction to South Africa!
Exceptional Experience! Thank You Tim & Mike!

5.00such a pleasure to work with Tim and Mike! They are consummate professionals and designed the perfect itinerary!! They constantly communicated with us, especially as there was a revision on the itinerary due to weather, and provided an exceptional first class experience throughout the 2 days we spent with them! Mike is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about South Africa and his job, and very kind and friendly. This was our second time using this company, and we look forward to many tours in the future with them!!!
