5.00What a day!! Jean Marie was an fabulous guide and buddy for the day. From the moment he pulled up to pick us up at our flat to the moment he bid us goodbye Jean was so friendly and warm, incredibly knowledgeable of the region and history of South Africa. He was so wonderful with our two children, 11 and 13, indulging all of their questions along the way. We had beautiful weather for our tour, though incredibly windy and Jean navigated that we'll for the best experience for us. It was so notable to us the way that others (workers and fellow tour guides) he knew at the attractions received him, making it so clear what a genuine person he was.
Great tour with wise and helpful gentleman

5.00Jean was the best possible guide for a day long adventure through Cape Town down the peninsula to the penguins and Cape of Good Hope. He gave us a running commentary on the history and significance of the many places we saw on the way. And he handled all the logistics so that we were able to just focus on the beauty of the day! A lovely gentleman we’re glad to have spent the day with!!
Knowledgeable and adventurous

5.00Jean-Marie was cheerful, adventurous, knowledgeable, and great at making conversation! My mom and I got more out of this day than we could have ever hoped for. He had all kinds of little stories and tips about the many sites we visited. He was also flexible and adapted the schedule when we wanted to spend more/less time at certain places.
Great trip with the most...

5.00We were utterly thrilled and delighted with the overall tour experience. Our guide Jean is, not only a professional driver, but also an experienced and friendly tourist guide! He enriched us with considerable historical and cultural information with lots of fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Golden Eagle if I were to visit Cape Town again!

5.00Thank you so much for planning a wonderful tour that we thoroughly enjoyed. Our guide Wesley is very knowledgeable and provided us with ample information for every single listed attraction! We found Cape Town very attractive and we will be back for a much longer stay! A lot to see, a lot do! My highlight was the enchanting penguins and was surprised by baboons climbing a building in Simon’s Town, which building is a military accommodation according to our guide! I highly recommend this tour!
Amazing day in Cape Town

5.00I had very limited time in Cape Town and 1 day Privat trip was great solution and truly fantastic memorable experience. Our guide Sam was very nice company for whole day, always prepared to show us all we wanted to see and even more. It was highlight of our vacation. I can only recommend to everybody in case you plan to explore Cape Town and surroundings.

5.00The tour was absolutely brilliant! Our guide Jean provided us with ample information about all points of interest! We took pictures with fur seals and were lucky enough to come closer to penguins, ostriches, tortoises, eland, baboons and bonteboks! Chapman’s Peak is miraculously amazing! I would recommend the scenic hike at Cape of Good Hope!! I am happy I did this tour with Golden Eagle! I will book you again! Cape Town is exceptionally beautiful!
