Fully vaccinated (including booster) My passion for the tourism industry began more than 15 years ago, when I arranged a highly successful sight-seeing tour for several friends and family members who decided to visit and explore the natural scenic beauty and diverse culture of South Africa. I grew up in a family where a love for the outdoors was a way of life. I spent most of my career in a corporate financial environment, which has given me an immense understanding of the various industries that drive our economy in South Africa - Tourism and hospitality being one of them. During the middle of 2014, I decide to leave my successful career as a professional banker and pursue my ultimate dream of becoming an "ambassador" of our beautiful country, effectively turning my passion into a career. I must add that going back to study again was an incredibly liberating experience. I am an avid purveyor of all the unique aspects that South Africa has to offer the world from a tourism perspective. These include, but are not limited to; it's rich wildlife, unsurpassed scenic splendour, award winning wines and culinary delights - not to mention our amazing hospitality. South Africa is steeped in profound history and natural beauty. It is also a wonderful melting pot of cultural diversity, making it one of those "must see" places on anyone's travel agenda… A true "Rainbow Nation" as our beloved Nelson Mandela had wished for. As a registered tourist guide and "SA Specialist", I hope to make every visitor's experience a truly memorable and unforgettable one! I live by the simple philosophy of "Creating memorable experiences to esteemed guests all year round". My other passions include travelling to the "great outdoors", where I love to spend my leisure time with close friends and family, either camping in the mountains or soaking up the sun. I also love photography and I am a keen sailor, having achieved my Provincial colours in the sport. I support two charitable organisations, namely the National Sea Rescue institute and "Tears". (The Emma Animal Rescue Society) My other hobbies include travel, reading and historical research. Today, my sole "mission" and passion is to show off what Cape Town and South Africa have to offer as a premium travel destination. Cape Town is regarded as one of the best "value for money" destinations in the world, due to its weak exchange rate. As a local tourist guide, let me take the hassles out of your holiday while you sit back and relax, immersing yourself in the amazing vibe that Cape Town and its surrounds has to offer. My key focus is YOU, our guest. I will tailor-make and design the perfect one day or multiple day travel plan to best suit your personal requirements and budget and will take the hassle out of you having to plan where you'd like to go, where you'd like to stay and what you'd like to experience. I look forward to welcoming you with open arms and creating the perfect and most memorable experience for you in the best City in the world!

George is a truly unique guide. He loves the Cape area and takes great pride in showing it off to his guests. He knows so much and freely shares. He is also more than willing (actually happy) to tailor your tour and include some truly amazing and quirky highlights. He took us to meet Dion who manages Hanna’s Place of Safety (a home for abandoned babies) and to meet Deon & Janni who own a fantastic off-grid restaurant called Skimerbek. We also met Christo, Nelson Mandela’s prison guard and confidante. A truly memorable two days. Thanks George

All good tour guides present history, facts, etc. But excellent tour guides do so with passion, and that describes George. He shared his passion for his country, its struggles, and its gems. He epitomized the "local" in the company name, sharing places he and his family have enjoyed all their lives, places most tourists will never see. We had no specific agenda, but George was able to assess our likes and dislikes and give us an outstanding and insightful two-day adventure. We want more time with George!

George is the best guide I have ever met. Extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. Great attention to detail and he does a great job getting you away from the crowds. If you are visiting Cape Town, see it with George.

If you are considering booking a tour with George, don't debate it any further and book! It will be the best decision you make on your holiday! My wife and I spent two days of our South Africa honeymoon doing a tour of the wine region around Cape Town and cannot recommend George enough. George has so much passion and the amount of effort he put into creating the perfect itinerary for us was amazing. We were able to experience so many things that on our own we would have completely missed!

5 stars We spent nearly 4 amazing weeks in southern Africa and the few days spent with George as our guide in Cape Town stood out as THE highlight in a trip full of guides. Knowledgeable, good-humored, rich in experience, flexible, gracious, kind. George will charm you with his knowledge of southern Africa beyond Cape Town along with it's human and natural history. He is also curious and a life-long learner. You will never forget your time with George. Absolutely the best guide in the Cape Town area.
