The Fynbos

This FULL DAY TOUR is a wonderful insight into the unique and delightful botanicals that the

Western Cape has to offer.

This tour is unrepeatable in any other destination in the world; the indigenous Gingo Trees at

the Company Garden, the horticultural foresight of Babylonstoren and the once off

combination of art and nature at the Dylan Lewis Garden are just some of the highlights.

reception.

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

fruits, preserves and local wines or sparkling wines.

The Mother City

There is no better way to see and understand the vibe of the Mother City than with the escort

of a local tour guide. This HALF DAY TOUR is a great way of orientating yourself around the city

and learning the history of all the very many cultures that live together.

The Grape

There is nothing quite like a day in the winelands. The surrounds of Cape Town are spoilt for

choice when it comes to seeing our grapes in action!

The winelands offer so much more than just excellent wines so we deliberately leave this FULL

DAY TOUR open for you to discuss with your guide in advance of your trip.

The choices include beautiful historical estates; winemaking from the very traditional to the

very modern; wine tasting; grappa, gin or brandy tasting; the duck parade; town tours of

Stellenbosch and / or Franschhoek; museums; wine pairing with cheese, chocolate or olives. It

is possible to spend a lifetime in the winelands and still experience new things every day, so we

strongly advise letting us help you plan an unforgettable day.

The Peninsula

the Southernmost point of Africa but correctly described as the most dramatic south westerly

point from which to get a sense of being at the end of the earth; only 1000 km from Antarctica.

talented and meaningful shops and workshop for you to visit – whether you are interested in
