We drive out to Stellenbosch
First stop is the University and historical town of Stellenbosch. We walk through a few blocks of the town to the Village Museum where we encounter original houses restored exploring their interiors and learning their history. We walk back along a street that is full of shops and can stop briefly at some of these.
We visit a wine farm that has good wine and a fantastic views back over Stellenbsoch which is situated at the top of Helshoogte Pass.
We stop for lunch under the trees.
We carry on through to Franschhoek which is the heart of one of our wine valleys. Beautiful shops up the main road and if time permits you can have a bit of a walk around and shop. Or if we would rather go for a drive up the pass on the other side of town.
We leave Franschhoek and head towards a 300 year old garden and the surrounding buildings and shops on the farm. All the vegetables for the hotel and restaurants and for sale in the shop are from these organic gardens. These are some of the most magnificent gardens which we will walk through.
We need to leave these wonderful gardens and head back towards your hotel in the City.

We booked the tour to V & A Waterfront with Elizabeth. She was absolutely amazing. She picked up at our hotel and drove to the V & A Waterfront, where we spent the whole day. It was a beautiful day. She is knowledgeable and introduced us to the landmarks that make up the area’s history, including the Clock Tower, , the Clock Tower District, the Robinson Dry Dock, the Zeitz MOCAA Museum, the yellow frame, the sculptured animals, the Swing Bridge, the gateway to Robben Island, the Two Oceans Aquarium. She was not in a hurry, she let us take our time. We had wonderful photos, specially on that very day when Table Mountain was visible in the background. She advised us the restaurant where to eat, we had our lunch at the V & A Food Market , which is near the Nobel Square. She even came to shop with us at the Watershed, which specializes in South African arts and crafts. I firmly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tour in Cape Town. If ever, I go back to Cape Town, I will certainly book my tours with her
Elizabeth was absolutely amazing. she is socwarm and friendly. We booked her tour to Hermanas. It was the most enjoyable day! She picked us up promptly at our hotel we drove along the scenic coast. it was so beautiful. Elizabeth pointed out everything along the way-sites, birds, flowers, monuments…. she told history of the area. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her country. We spend the day driving and stopping along the way to see a cool little things, did some whalewatching from the shore, did a little bit of shopping had lunch at a great little restaurant overlooking the water, saw the Penguins. We were in no hurry and Elizabeth was very flexible, didn’t rush us or hurry us, let us take our time, and we actually got back to our hotel like two hours late. And it didn’t cost anything more. We enjoyed her so much that we hired her for another day and had her take us around Cape Town, a tour where we pretty much custom picked what we wanted to do. There’s a great little sites in the city and she took us to a restaurant where we had some amazing authentic South African food. Elizabeth grew up in the area so she knows everything about everything. She even gave us advice about where to eat that was close to our restaurant, how much to pay for things, what things to buy that were worth it, prices that were not worth it etc. she even told us that we could text her at any time for any advice on anything that we were doing on our own . We can’t recommend her highly enough!!! she gives it her all! We more than got our moneys worth, and if we ever go back to South Africa again we will definitely take advantage of her services.
Thank you Warren. You were both such a pleasure you made my job even easier.
