I'm not normally one to partake in tours or use guides, preferring to go solo and discover things for myself. However, on this occasion I was in Cape Town for such a short spell on business and needed all the help I could get to cram in the beautiful sights of the city! Jade absolutely made my trip! I was in SA for 3 nights, including 2 days of meetings in CT and a day of business in Durban. Despite that schedule, Jade made it possible for me to see the penguins at Boulders Beach, visit the Cape of Good Hope (which out of season we had literally all to ourselves! So spoilt!) and get to the top of STUNNING Table Mountain. We did all of this without it feeling too rushed or too exhausting. Admittedly we needed early starts, but it was so worth it! When travelling on business it can be a case of seeing nothing but airports and interiors of hotels, but Jade made sure that this wasn't the case for my trip this time! I had an absolutely wonderful experience and would love to return to CT as there is still so much to see. Jade helped me to make a start through my bucket list though and I would highly recommend her personalised service - particularly for women travelling alone, or women on business alone like me. Thanks Jade! A trip to remember!We had a wonderful day with Jeremy and our little group and everything was perfectly organised! Jeremy is a great guide and gave us many useful tips and we had a lot of fun. There was enough time to experience every place.
