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!

We spent 3 days with George. He was fabulous. He heard our requests and made them happen but also was incredible in seeing past our limited understanding of his area. He with a gentle hand took us off the beaten path and exposed us to so much more than we could have even guessed. He took the time to get to know us and tailored the trip to us. We have always done well with tours by locals and George took that to a new level!! We totally and unconditionally recommend him!!

Our group of 4 well traveled seniors had the pleasure of experiencing 3 day comprehensive tours of Capetown and surrounding areas with George Meyers. George is a kind, caring, compassionate man with extensive knowledge of Capetown history, culture, politics, natural sites, flora and fauna, museums, neighborhoods, restaurants, etc. He is passionate about sharing his love for the city and area.He developed a comprehensive unique tour that we never would have been able to schedule ourselves. He was with us 8-10 hours a day,. He knew when we should have time to visit places and towns by ourselves and we never felt rushed. He set up meetings with people actually involved personally with Nelson Mandela. Incredibly interesting and moving. George discussed each days plans extensively and hand tailored a unique itinerary for us. RECOMMENDED HIGHLY WITHOUT RESERVATIONS!!

George is an amazing guide and a truly lovely soul! He will tell you all kinds of local stories and experiences with humor and kindness. He has lived it and seen it first hand. You will leave with the feeling that you have made a life long friend! He truly is one of the best we have encountered in our travels. Such a good guy and such a good local expert! Trust him with your day and you will have amazing experiences full of surprises, from out of the way winery's, to funky, cool coffee spots,etc

George perfectly curated a 4-day experience for our time in Cape Town. Through conversations prior to arrival and while together, he adapted the day to our interest. George expertly navigated us to off the beaten path to provide a truly unique experience. We saw rare animals in Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve as the buses zoomed by. Personal stories during the apartheid made history come alive. George epitomizes why you hire a private guide over the hop-on-hop off bus options. An unforgettable trip!

George is simply amazing. We visited Cape town for 3 days and our schedule had to be rearranged at the last minutes because of flight cancellation. He was flexible, allowed us the see the best of Cape town in a reduced amount of time. He immersed us into the story of South Africa, telling us so many interesting details and anecdotes. We just want to come back and get all the rest that we were not able to see.
