This tour is government run so you have to be patient. We did not think we would get a ferry as they had mechanical problems, but they bought in a pirate ship which was great fun. Robben Island is a must it is very humbling.

This should be your first and last contact if you are planning a trip to Cape Town. Selwyn will give you more information than you can absorb and make sure you get the most from your visit to his city. We had a remarkable week with Selwyn. He picked us up in George and we stayed at a cottage he... More

We have been with Selwyn on 2 separate occasions and both were truly fantastic. Selwyn gives you a very realistic and unique outlook on life in Cape Town. Our visits to Kayamandi were the highlight of both trips, I have never felt more welcome in a community. Selwyn has some fantastic programs that many people would benefit from experiencing.

What a fantastic experience of Cape Town, the Township, Winelands and Peninsula - all thanks to Selwyn. We were delayed arriving in Cape Town by one day but he was so helpful and informative that we felt completely happy to let him decide what to do and when, in the 2 days we had. He got us trying boerewors and... More

Selwyn organized our group of 3 families (party of 16 with 9 children from ages 9-17) and we had the time of our lives in Cape Town. His enthusiasm, knowledge and humor made our 4 day stay in Cape Town memorable. He shared with our group his friendships with the folks in the township who held him in high regard.... More

Kirstenj, Your comment of "After 3 weeks in Africa, all of the kids' fondest memories revolve around their time with Selwyn in Capetown!" is one of the most valuable I can garner. It is such a thrill to hear that the youth on board enjoyed our journey together. It has always been my attitude that when on tour if the... More

You never know what you will get with a tour guide. However, I knew that we were getting the best when Selwyn had all of our groups 16 names and faces memmorized upon first meeting him. His knowledge of Capetown and the world made our trip extremely enjoyable. It's nice to have someone looking out for all members of the... More

Not only did Selwyn take us to Cape Town's top sights, he made our trip ten times more memorable by sharing his extensive knowledge of the area, entertaining us with his quick wit, and handling a few travel-related challenges that came up with our group. For example, my luggage was lost in transit from NYC to South Africa. Selwyn diligently... More
