          Different wiev of Cape Town
          It was an amazing experience to see life in the township. To understand the history, this area and public museum must be visited. Local hand made products from recycling is teal appreciated. Our tour guide Sebastian made this trip much more interesting by telling interesting histories about events. He’s so kind and hospitable guy. Thanks for everything 🙏

          Best tour and tour guide!
          We had the absolute pleasure of taking the Cape Peninsula tour with Sebastian. We stopped at several beautiful places along the way and learned the history of each. We felt so lucky to have been connected with Sebastian as he was professional, informed, personable and just so easy to chat with. We learned so much about the history of South Africa and Cape Town, life there and about all the different cultures. Our only regret was not having more time to book a city tour and township tour after all our talks about life in Cape Town. The Cape Tour was amazing and not to be missed. We left SA with a new friend in Sebastian and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town to book a tour with him!

          OUTSTANDING
          Our hotel in Cape Town recommended Viemma Tours shuttle service and our tour guide SEBASTIAN PEDRE was the BEST. Very knowledgeable on the area and we couldn't have been happier with the outstanding service he provided.

        Excellent service from Sebastian. He was punctual, polite, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Our guide through the Langa township, Naty, was equally professional and such good company. Friendly, informative and utterly appropriate. We spent an hour walking through the township, seeing the variety of dwellings and learning about the people who live here and the history ot the settlement. I can thoroughly recommend this tour. I was slighlty anxious and keen not to cause insult by our presence, but my concerns were unfounded.Do it, it`s a profound experience for first world travellers.

        I have to share the awesome time we had in Cape Town with the best tour guide ever! Seriously, this guy made our trip epic.

        Right from the get-go, he hit us with those good vibes—super chill and friendly. It wasn't your usual city tour; it was like a journey led by a buddy who happened to know EVERYTHING about Cape Town. The dude was practically a walking encyclopedia, but way more fun.

        What blew us away was his knack for storytelling. He could turn a simple history lesson into a gripping tale that had us hooked. It was like exploring the city with a live-action storyteller—it made all the difference.

        We got to know Sebastião on a personal level, and it was like hanging out with a long-lost friend. He spilled the beans on some cool local spots and shared stories that had us cracking up.

        And when it comes to being supportive, Sebastião was top-notch. Always making sure we were comfy, throwing in suggestions for killer photo ops—basically, he had our backs.

        To sum it up, Cape Town wouldn't have been half as awesome without Sebastião! He's not just good at his job; he's the kind of person you would like to grab a drink with and hear more stories from. If you want a tour that's not just informative but also a total blast, this is your guy.

        Thanks for all the memories, Tião!
