We also endeavour to follow sustainable and responsible tourism practices through our membership of Fair Trade in Tourism.
While we are happy to visit all the popular spots of the Cape and beyond, we prefer to show you more than that, and something a bit different to what you would otherwise get to see and experience. The knowledge of our Cape Town guides is unsurpassed.

What Our Guests Say
I've just returned from an absolutely wonderful wine education experience in South Africa. Fiona McDonald was our wonderful guide and mentor throughout the week and put together an extremely well thought-out destination plan. We visited both small and large producers and not only shared some amazing wine but also learned so much more about the wonderful history and culture of South Africa. I truly enjoyed the experience and learned so much from Fiona. Her expertise is evident in so many ways and her passion to share her knowledge is unsurpassed. I can't praise her and my experience enough!
Fiona is an unbelievable guide. She is a wealth of knowledge and has amazing personal stories to entertain guests. Her passion for wine, Africa and life is like no other. Highly recommend!!!
