Enough good things can't be said about Mo and the knowledge he imparted. Be prepared to tip locals at some of the stops. What they add to the experience is totally worth it.

Absolutely fabulous! We only had an afternoon in South Africa transiting and decided to take the tour. Was absolutely wonderful, informative, interesting and entertaining. Despite having some concerns at the outset about safety, we felt 100% safe and secure- and it was great for our children to get an appreciation of areas that they wouldn't usually see. Our tour guide Mo was fantastic and as a local was able to give us additional information. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.My husband and I had a 8 hr layover in Johannesburg and wanted to see a few key places. This was the best tour we have been on. Our guide was Steve.

My husband and I had a 8 hr layover in Johannesburg and wanted to see a few key places. This was the best tour we have been on. Our guide was Steve. He was very knowledgeable and stayed with us the entire time explaining everything to us since we were pretty limited on time. He customized the day for us based on what we wanted to see and do. He also had great food recommendations and took us to try some local South African food. I can’t recommend Steve enough. We will definitely book another tour with him in the future and refer all our family and friends.It certainly is a passionate tour with Mo as the experienced and passionate guide.
