What our guests say

Awesome and so insightful walking tour in Cape Town

We had the best experience doing the 2h walking tour in Cape Town with Michael! He's so knowledgeable about South Africa history, colonialism and apartheid, and him being directly involved in fighting against apartheid made the experience even more moving. Fully recommend if you want to learn more about the history of South Africa!

Cape Peninsula

Wow....Michael!! You made our Cape Peninsula tour an absolute pleasure. Thank you for the attention to detail and sharing all your knowledge with us during our trip, it was absolutely superb. Michael is definitely passionate and in love with what he does. If anyone needs a professional guide to take you around the Cape, surrounding areas and even other parts of South Africa, Michael Wilcox is highly recommended by us.

Perfect guided walk

Mike was our guide for a full-day walk, including a pick-up directly from our apartment, and he was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge was exceptional, especially when it came to the local flora. The walk itself was perfectly paced, well planned, and felt both relaxed and enriching. Professional, friendly, and incredibly informative, Mike made the entire day memorable from start to finish.
