Fantastic cycling tour in beautiful Cape Town - This cycle tour is most definitely worth going on. Our tour guide Pedro was excellent and very knowledgeable as he guided us all around areas of Cape Town we probably wouldn't have known to visit. We all felt very safe with Pedro and had a lovely treat when we visited the beautiful coloured houses at Bo-Kaap and were presented with a lovely picnic of very tasty, home made Malay snacks from one of the residents. Would most definitely recommend this company and especially Pedro who was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with.

Beautiful bike tour through Cape Town with guide Michel - Beautiful bike ride with guide Michel! He knew a lot about the history of South Africa. We visited many places with him that we had not yet been to. He also had a nice surprise for us in Bo Kaap. All in all, an experience not to be missed when in Cape Town!

Great bike tour, excellent intro to city - Fantastic bike tour around some of the main attractions of Cape Town. I am not a biker normally, so we went with the e-bike upgrade (worth it for me, but it's not necessary if you normally bike since the route is pretty gentle). Shaun (Shawn ?) was our guide and was amazing - very open to all of our questions, knowledgeable about the city and historical matters, great anecdotes and stories, and a good resource for future things to do in the city.

Fantastic tour, highly recommended! - I had a wonderful tour of Cape Town with Vincent. He was very engaging and knowledgeable about the history and current events of Cape Town and South Africa. We covered a lot of ground in 3 hours and even had a chance to take a break with delicious local food and tea. I highly recommend this tour!

Nice bike ride with a nice guide - Yesterday we cycled a super fun tour through Cape Town. A total of 13.5 km, which was easy to do on normal bicycles and we were very satisfied with the included children's bicycle seat. Our guide, Peter, could tell us a lot and the stop in Bo-kaap was very nice and tasty. Cape Town has no cycle paths, so cycling on the quiet sidewalks on Sunday morning was pleasant for us.
