Late April is late in the season for Cape Town. So I had to pay a single person supplement. However, Jeremy conducted the guided walk with enthusiasm and showed a good knowledge of regional history and local Laura.

Thanks for taking the time out to share your hiking experience on Table Mountain with Jeremy. AWOL Tours prefers to offer privately guided hikes and not join guests in big group. This ensures hikers can hike the route of preference, hike at own pace and take photographs etc without having to worry about keeping with rest of group. We do... More

April 2013 my 9 year old, husband and I took the cycle tour of the Masiphumelele Township. Thank You AWOL for making this one the best things we did during our stay in ZA. We learned a lot about the community , our daughter played with the kids, we had a great meal. We still are talking about our experience.

We found our walking tour of Capetown the perfect introduction at the beginning of a six-day stay. A very good orientation, both geographically and historically. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging.

Finally I joined one of the AWOL township cycle tours. We were staying in Noordhoek so it made sense to book a township tour nearby. Masiphumelele is only a 10 minute drive. We were met by Vivienne in the parking lot, a very nice guide with a lot of knowledge of life in the township and very patient with the... More

He catered the hike to our needs and made it very enjoyable. Plus the snacks and water he brought on the hike for us were super tasty. I also did a... More

We have been to Cape Town many times and this is the best tour we've ever been on. It was so interesting and we learned so much. Zwai was a great tour guide and the people in the township were so friendly, especially the kids. We loved it, it gave us so much to think about - highly recommended, you... More

AWOL Tour Company We recently enjoyed several outings with support provided by AWOL Tours out of Cape Town South Africa. First, they were the logistical and technical support for a road bike cycling tour east of Cape Town around the South African wine country and along the Garden Route for two weeks. This was a road bike trip run by... More

Very well organised, enjoyable bike tour. Knowledgable guide who picked us up from the hotel, drove us to the Winelands and followed us in the car (like a Tour de France support vehicle) whilst we rode the picturesque Franschoek to Stellenbosch route. The bikes were good quality and the guide even fixed a puncture that I got in record time!... More
