We were collected at our residence and then taken to see various parts of the wine route towards Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
Before entering the vehicle our temperatures were taken and hand sanitizer was made available (Good to know with the current Covid-19 pandemic).
The Tour Guide was well presented and punctual he was able to give us updates along the way while driving, through his hands-free microphone.
There were some very exciting stops along the way, where we had the opportunity to see where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated. In Stellenbosch we had the opportunity to see the Nelson Mandela "Mosaic" which is a wall representing the east and west of South Africa, showing the places where Nelson Mandela had highlights in his life.
The visit to Mount Rochelle, was an experience to be remembered. They have really amazing gardens and their selection of wine was really good to try.
Overall the adventure we had with Tusk Adventures is surely one to remember!
I look forward to our next tour with Michael and Bridget.
Thank you for the lekker memories.

We enjoyed the Cape Town city walking tour with Michael Wilcox today.
The tour is rich in history and very interesting facts about Cape Town and also South Africa. We enjoyed Michael's own opinions expressed and the extra effort he took to add extra information applicable to South Africans.
I highly recommend making use of Tusk Adventures and Tours.

Michael guided us on a riveting 100 min tour of central cape town. From Jan van Riebeeck to Nelson Mandela-solid history peppered with the right humour on sensitive topics. Cape Town has a solid Ambassador!

It’s been an absolutely pleasure to have Michael Wilcox (from Tusk adventures) as our guide for the different activities we have done with him.
Firstly we did the Historical City, Robben Island, & Bo-Kaap tours in order to know more about the story and people from Capetown. In this sense, Michael explained us everything we need to know about how Capetown started as a city and ended up being the city that now is.
We were so happy with the tours that hired also the Table Mountain hike and the Stellenbosch Historical and Wine lands Tour. Which were also amazing and worth it to do it.
We’re really thankful to Michael but just for his knowledge but also for his way when sharing it!
100% recommended!!!!

I have done Bo Kaap and Historic walking tour with guide Michael wilcox, our both tours went extremely great, the best way to know about history of Capetown. He also made us taste local food and meet local people. I loved our tour with Michael and would recommend to everyone who wants to explore city apart from major sightseeing places. Thanks Tusk and Michael :)

Bridget was an extraordinary guide to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point - we couldn't have wished for a better experience. We spent the whole day with her and every minute was a treat. She is so knowledgeable about the topography, history, flora, fauna, and culture of the Cape and she shared it all with us in an almost constant stream of information (while driving very very carefully!) She even knew where to see the penguins without having to pay entrance fees and where to stop for a delicious, authentic lunch at a locally- owned cafe. We took it all in with pleasure. We highly recommend Bridget and Tusk Adventures for any guided tour (walking or driving - we've done both!)

Wow - thank you Michael and Bridget for an amazing tour of Bokaap yesterday 💫
Michael’s passion for and knowledge about the history of the people and the place was refreshing and informative. And all done in a friendly, professional and respectful manner.
As a local it is always humbling to hear the stories of the people who laid the foundations of and built our city - thank you for sharing these and and for honouring those who have gone before 🙏🏼

We appreciate your Review Colleen .
You and your group certainly trotted around the Bo-Kaap taking full advantage of being a tourist in your own City of Cape Town.
Hoping to see you on the next one.
Be out and be safe.
Cheers

Michael was a great tour guide! He swiftly navigated us through the city, highlighting important historical and architectural facts. As a true Capetonian he is a wealth of knowledge. I definitely recommend Tusk adventures for any and all of their adventures!

Our tour guide Michael first explained the general history of Capetown before we then moved to the start of the tour at the first of 5 mosques in the small Bo Kaap area
He has a wonderful knowledge of how this area evolved in the context of the city and its Muslim population and we certainly saw elements that would have gone unnoticed without his expert eye.
Many of the locals seemed to know him and it meant that we didn’t feel that we were treating the people and their area like an open-air zoo.
We had reservations as to how such a small tour could take 90 minutes but in the end, we could have spent even longer courtesy of what he was able to show and tell us about Bo Kaap.
A nice guy, knows his stuff and is a very enlightening guide.

"As an artist and culturalist: I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the indigenous people of the Cape, more especially the importance of our heritage. I certainly plan to revisit Bo-Kaap, I think it forms a critical part of our history..." Bulelwa Basse
