Hello! I'm Claudia — your local Cape Town expert with a global heart. Originally from the U.S., I’ve called Cape Town home for over 37 years, and I’ve never stopped falling in love with its dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm people. As a registered private tourist guide, I specialize in tailor-made tours that go far beyond the usual highlights. Whether we’re exploring the iconic Table Mountain, Cape Point, or hidden coastal gems, I’ll show you the city's best photo ops, flavors, and stories — all at your pace and to your taste. I am passionate about road cycling, art, and photography, so I bring a creative lens to every tour. Love food and wine? Let’s head to the Winelands for tastings that include wine-and-chocolate pairings, biltong, cheese, and unforgettable local cuisine — from Cape Malay to seafood feasts and sunset picnics. Do you prefer something active or outdoorsy? We can hike, bike, stroll through sculpture gardens, or browse local markets. I also offer custom trips to Hermanus, the Garden Route, and Big-5 safaris near Port Elizabeth for those with more time. Let me craft a private tour that feels more like travelling with a savvy friend—one who knows all the shortcuts, stories, and secret spots. Cape Town is magic… come discover why! Information: I am a registered tourist guide in the Western Cape and can guide tourists up the Garden Route as far as Port Elizabeth. My car, Toyota Fortuner SUV, is fully licensed, registered, and accredited with the NPTR Operating Licence, and I am insured for personal liability. I hold the required PDP driver's license. My First Aid certificate is up to date and valid. I have completed an Introductory Course in Wine Appreciation. I am a proud CTGA - Cape Town Tourist Guides Association member.

Aquila is an authentic private game reserve that's perfect for a "one-day" experience viewing wild animals in their habitat. It is within a 2. 5-hour drive from Cape Town! This private game reserve is acclaimed for its service excellence, conservation programs, renewable energy, and social responsibility efforts. Aquila is a safari experience that will whet your appetite for future extended safaris that Africa boasts. As a local, wildlife safaris are a huge drawcard for me. I never tire of seeing wild animals up close & personal, from the elephants to the majestic giraffe the spirit of Africa! One note to remember is that wild animals are wild and spotting all of the Big 5 is a bonus. This trip travels over the Du Toitskloof Mountains & descends into the Breedekloof Valley, wine country. Aquila is located in the Klein Karoo arid terrain. How awesome would it be to experience a safari located so close to a major city like Cape Town?
