Having been a teacher in London for nearly 20 years, he was great at sharing knowledge while also very adaptable and willing to change plans based on our desires. He was great company for our day long trip.

Superb experience for our first day in Cape Town. Johannes excelled as a guide, was highly engaged in conversation, and made us feel very welcomed for the entire length of the day-long trip. We highly recommend and look forward to our next trip!

Great experience with a wonderful guide. We enjoyed every moment. Johannes' guidance was fascinating and rich in information, personal and pleasant. Don't miss it if you are in Cape Town and it's surroundings!

We spent three very enjoyable days with Johannes. He was prompt, well prepared, knowledgeable, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make our time in Cape Town unforgettable. We were a party of 4 and he met all our needs and expectations. We highly recommend Johannes and will book him again when we come back!

Our tour with Johannes was incredible! We gave him a few ideas of what we wanted to see during our tour and he personalized an agenda for us. Overall excellent day and an amazing experience! Thank you so much Johannes!!!

Man, what a fantastic end to our stay in Cape Town. As the day was blazingly hot, Johannes planned a trip to Cape Point where the air is cooler and the views magnificent. We were picked up right at our appartment and we set off. The day flew past and we loved the positive energy, great stories connecting past with the current days and just fun exploring the southern tip of Cape Town. Thanks for the great adventures Johannes!

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Johannes. The tour was in a very comfortable vehicle. The Chapman’s Peak drive was simply spectacular and Cape Point did not disappoint. Meeting the penguins at Boulders beach was a highlight and ending the tour in the botanical gardens was a relaxed end to the day in the most beautiful surroundings. Johannes knows his stuff. Lots of interesting facts and info throughout the day. Great recommendations and tips, and an itinerary that was flexible and well thought out. Thanks for a lovely day out!

Seeing Cape Town, the right way What a great day out with Johannes of CoolCapeTravel. I had been to Cape Town before but visited again with a good friend of mine. Johannes had been recommended to us by a mutual friend. And what a great suggestion that was. Johannes is a fount of knowledge about all things Cape Town and South Africa. His enthusiasm for Cape Town is very engaging, without being excessive. The trip was really well paced. There is obviously a lot to see, but we never felt rushed or that we were missing something. This was a view of Cape Town and the surrounding areas that really gave us the feeling of immersion without being overwhelmed. From beginning to end, Johannes was regaling us with stories that put a much different and more genuine light on Cape Town and its history. Obviously most anyone will know the headlines of the struggles that the country and its people have faced over the years, but hearing Johannes talk about it made it personal and broke down some of the stereotypes that I had fallen prey to. Some of the highlights for me were the drive up Chapman’s Peak which is truly stunning, the penguins at Boulders Beach and ending the day at the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Even though the gardens weren’t in full bloom, it was still amazing to see the breadth and diversity of the flora in South Africa. Being a keen gardener, it was a big plus for me. But Cape Town has something for everyone. You just have to discover it. And Johannes is the right person to help you do that! Johannes was very prompt when he arrived to pick us up. His car is very comfortable and valet clean. His local knowledge of roads and traffic patterns meant we rarely encountered any delays. All in all, a really great day out. If you’re gong to see Cape Town then let Johannes show it to you!

we had a lovely and relaxing day and felt very well looked after and comfortable in Johannes’ capable hands. The tour was great and we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery of the Cape. I especially loved meeting the penguins as well as the gardens, truly spectacular. It was an effortless and comfortable tour. Johannes is an enthusiastic guide that grew up in South Africa so he has many fun and fascinating stories about the history of SA. Would love to have done a tour of the winelands with him too but unfortunately we did not have enough time on this trip. Can’t wait to come back!
