    Ian was a great tour guide, very relaxed, knowledgeable and took us to nice places during the tour. He fitted the tour exactly to our interests and gave the right amount of details during explanations. I can’t think of any improvement. Highly recommended!

  • 5Holiday of a lifetime

    Just back from a wonderful holiday in South Africa made all the more special by African Moon Adventures run by Ian. We went on two private tours, Cape Point, Boulders Beach penguins and brewery tour and West Coast Safari, olive and beer and wine tasting tour. Ian, our tour guide, was very professional, punctual, knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating, he tailored the tour to suit us. He also gave us plenty of time to take in the sights and take photos, he also took photos for us (much better than our photos!!!). We would definitely recommend Ian and African Moon Adventures for helping us to make memories to last a lifetime.

  • 5Simply the best way to see South Africa!

    Ian was recommended by a friend on our recent world cruise. We are so glad that we followed his advice!! Ian responded quickly to our request and set up our Cape Point tour. He kept us updated prior to our arrival and was waiting for us on the dock when we arrived. What followed was an amazing tour of Cape Town and Cape Point, and all the areas in between. Ian was very friendly, quite informative, and very willing to make changes in the basic itinerary, if we saw something that looked interesting. I cannot say enough about how comfortable he made us feel. We had a beautiful sunny day, and the various stops along viewpoints were simply magnificent. Our adventures at Cape Point, Boulder Beach, the winery and everywhere else made it a trip to remember. Ian didn’t just take us to an attraction and drop us off, he accompanied us the entire time, providing additional color and insight into the beautiful sites we were seeing. I cannot offer enough superlatives for his professionalism, quality of service and friendliness. If you want an African adventure to remember, contact Ian at African Moon Adventures..

About Cape Town

Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.

Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.

Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
