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!

Overview of your Cape Town tour

Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa and was established in 1652 by the Dutch East Indian Company as a replenishing station for the passing ships that were plying their trade on the notorious sea spice route between Europe and the East. As a result, Cape Town is steeped in profound history, rich culture 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. The city and surrounds are best known for their unsurpassed scenic splendor, award winning wines and culinary delights - not to mention its warm hospitality. The iconic flat-topped Table Mountain, at a mere 260 million years old, looms large over the city, wrapping its "arms" of Devil's Peak and Lion's Head warmly around the city, giving it the nickname of the "Mother City". There is literally so much to do in and around this amazing city and we'll guarantee you an amazing day out!

Absolutely wonderful experience - George was knowledgeable, professional, friendly. We had a very tight schedule and presented him with a packed/tight itinerary - and he covered it all - and more! So happy we had the opportunity to see such a great city with such a great guide!

Day 2 & again George waited for us smiling. Our luggage loaded, we were off. It began with a special request to the Company Garden, then everything per the itinerary. Having time, George drove us through the Langa Township & introduced us to his friend the jailor/personal friend of N. Mandela, an unexpected & magical treat. The day full, never rushed. George dropped us at the airport, time to spare. If/when we return to South Africa it will be because of George & it is hoped we will travel together again.

George is an amazing guide! Fully vaccinated and boosted, which was a huge plus in these times, but his enthusiasm and knowledge about all things in the Capetown area gave the five stars. We changed plans on him at the last minute so we wouldn't overlap with the next day's tour and he responded brilliantly. He took us to Durbanville to do some wine tasting and, as he said, under publicized but well worth a visit. He was spot on!! Loved our day with George! Wish there could have been more than one!!
