About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- bobbiescanlon0 contributionsAmazing Cape Point Tour - Highly ReccommendMe and my partner absolutely LOVED this tour. Our tour guide Martin was extremely welcoming, lovely and so helpful, even down to providing refreshments in the bus for the hot day. We got to visit Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, Bo-Kaap (for the amazing coloured houses) which has a very reasonably priced museum. We saw Boulders Beach with all the penguins and Simons town where we stopped off for some amazing fish and chips. We travelled to Camps Bay, Hout Bay and Kalk Bay (Kalk Bay is really funky, quirky with cool antique retro stores). We took a peak at the Ostrich farm too. All done within a day! If we wanted to check anything out we were more than welcome to do so and Martin was very accommodating in this way. We cannot thank Martin enough for his incredible service. We absolutely loved it all and we fell more in love with Cape Town. We really highly recommend booking this tour; you won’t regret it!!Written 25 January 2025
- CynthiaG6570 contributionsPrivate tour of Cape TownWe had a fabulous 2 day private tour of Cape Town from our guide Emma. She was super communicative and helpful throughout the booking process. She was flexible with our itinerary when we changed our minds In the 2 days we were able to see so many breath taking sites. We visited the penguins, went to Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope,stopped in quaint coastal towns and went to Robben Island. All along the way Emma was there to make sure we accessed the sites and provided so much enlightening narrative. I recommend this company to anyone seeking a personalized experience.Written 11 December 2024

- NorthStar376031267360 contributionsBest wine tour experienceHad an amazing wine tour with Emma, she was so fun it was like hanging out with my new bestie all day. We stopped in 3 different areas and the views were gorgeous. Emma was super accommodating and we stopped at such amazing places. I loved her recommendations and would definitely tell my friends and family to use this company in the future, and to request Emma. Thanks again!Written 12 January 2024
- X9710NTmarcinl0 contributionsMarvellous whales and penguin experienceIt was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get close to the marine life around Cape Town. As with all wildlife watching, it depends a bit on the season. For the whales, it was literally the last few days before the last one migrated back to the Arctic. Nevertheless, after a 90-minute trip, we spotted two female right whales with their calves. We also saw cape seals, dolphins and sharks, you could not expect more. The penguin colony was amazing. Breathtaking, for me anyway. You could get very close (safe for you and the penguins!), just a metre away from them. The whole colony must be at least a few hundred birds, some of them in the process of feathering, a very unique situation. The birds have become habituated to people, and all safety measures are taken to avoid disturbing the wildlife. At the very end of the day we went for dinner, a pleasant place. We skipped the wine tasting, but that was up to me, as I prefer to stay with the brides as long as possible (I was the only client). A beautiful sunset we experienced was added to all the above. Very well organised trip, on time, flexible when needed. Highly recommended.Written 27 November 2023
- Roving043849758510 contributionsGreat experience!The guide Emma was very professional. We felt in connection with nature and we were able to visit everything we want. Very recommended.Written 21 November 2023
- Dream2992390 contributionsWine CountryIt was an excellent day of wine tasting and gorgeous views. My guide was incredible. She was informative and made the experience even better. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes wine. You will love it.Written 16 November 2023
- dragondebanne0 contributionsGreat way to see whalesEverything was wonderful. The tour driver, Martin, was right on time for the hotel Pick-up. The drive was great and he explained things along the way there and back. The whale watching tip was awesome! We saw the southern right whales several times. I'd highly recommend this trip.Written 14 November 2023
- anthonyeU4400XJ0 contributionsOutstanding customer serviceHayley was absolutely helpful and understanding as our group of 3 had to cancel a booked shark cage dive experience 16 hours before pickup. Unfortunately one of our group was admitted to hospital having collapsed suddenly, the best possible outcome he had food poisoning and recovered. Hayley has gone beyond to help recover our cost of the cancelled trip and arrange a bank transfer to my UK bank account. On return to Cape Town hopefully next year my first first port of call will be to 75 Loop Street and book another experience with Go That Way.Written 3 November 2023
- Roving402929888060 contributionsFabulous and excitingWe saw a couple of wales, dolphins and seals out in the ocean. Our driver Martin was the best! I’m definitely coming backWritten 2 November 2023
- K3903JUlaurag0 contributionsHoneymoon tripsThe trip was excellent. We were picked up from our hotel on time from Emma and had a wonderful day with 2 lovely lunch and dinner recommendations from GoThatWay Capetown. We booked plenty of trips with them. They made our honeymoon perfect. Thank you guys!Written 28 September 2023
- mirgetad0 contributionsYou can’t experience such unforgettable trips by organizing them by yourself - GoThatWay made our travels so special!!!We booked many amazing tours in South Africa with GoThatWay Cape Town & LOVED every wonderful adventure! Our highlights were Kruger Nationalpark, the Luxury Garden Route Tour including Safari, Whale Watching & Shark Diving! Martin & Emma are such amazing tour guides, Hayley the owner booked fancy 4* and 5* Hotels for us & organized yummie restaurants. (They also have budget trips, no worries - we asked for the high end package to fully relax & enjoy our trips). Thanks a million times!!! If you want to experience an unforgettable South Africa trip, you should book it with the experienced team of GoThatWay Cape Town. They work in tourism for a few decades & are so professional. Thank you Hayley, Emma, Martin & the rest of the team. <3Written 20 September 2023

When I arrived was handed a glass of wine, directed to the restaurant for a delicious lunch, then getting on the truck to see so many different animals. At the end of the trip, another complimentary drink given and much needed as it was a warm day! Would certainly recommend this trip to all.

We had an amazing day on the Big 5 safari. Our driver, Martin, was very prompt and picked us up exactly when scheduled. Once at the safari, we boarded a 4 x 4 truck with a guide who drove us around the reserve. We were able to see so many animals up close - lions, elephants, rhinos, giraffes. All were amazing. I recommend this tour to all.

Got to see many if not all of the animals that were mentioned on the safari brochure. Very lovely resort. Lunch was well done with many options to choose from. Including Vegan. My driver Martin was very informative and drove very safe. Pleasant journey the entire way.

Last year we went to South Africa right after the shutdown. A lot of things started slowly and by fortune we had the great luck to meet Hayley. She supported us so much: she organized a rental car for us, planned an unforgettable safari incl. private driver and gave us many tips. She even gave us souvenirs for our families. We can't thank Hayley enough. We highly recommend her! You are an angel!

Very pleasant day with a good and safe driver, food was nice. If it’s your first safari, you will really enjoy but if you already have this experience, it’s quite limited
