Have a look at the reviews on Trip Advisor to see how happy my guests are. I endeavour to make all tours exceptional from the moment you step into my air-conditioned vehicle. I believe this is why Cape Splendour has been awarded the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for 2014, 2015 and 2016. If you analyse the percentage of excellent ratings to the other categories on Trip Advisor you will see that there are only four operators who have a percentage of over 98% excellent, Cape Splendour is one of them and the other three are the colleagues with whom I partner.
In the beginning of March 2020, just before the Coronapandemic toke over the world and South Africa went in to total lockdown, our group of 10 friends went on a week tour with Cape Splendour Tours. Well let me tell you, actually Cape Splendour Tours is just one lady, the lovely Mrs. Julie Clarke. She arranged a week tour including winetasting and a day tour around the Cape Peninsula. For 3 days we went on a winetasting tour in the wine areas of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschoek. We already made a list of which wineries we wanted to visit and Julie just filled in the blanks. That’s the good thing about Julie, she doesn’t always do a standard program, Continue Reading

Words cannot begin to express how WONDERFUL our groups private tour was with Julie for 5 days. I don't think it is possible to put into words how much Julie customized our tour to meet the needs of our group. Each day we had people flying in from Texas to join the tour before a conference we were attending. Our tour size ranged from 6 people to 18 people, and she managed to arrange INCREDIBLE tours and meet the transportation needs of our group daily. On the first day our group was scheduled to go on the City Tour and head to Table Mountain. Julie had the foresight to realize the weather would be bad, so took the initiative to Continue Reading

Julie has a vast knowledge of the area and her tours are fantastic. However, it doesn’t end there. Julie was an enormous help in planning the Garden Route section of our trip before we arrived in SA as well as helping us after with a vendor that did not ship our goods.

If you want a fabulous guided experience in Cape Town and surrounding areas, make it your priority to connect with Julie Clarke at Cape Splendour Tours. We had the great fortune of riding with Julie for three of our four-day stay in Cape Town (on the other day we visited standard tourist attractions like Robben Island on our own). She is highly knowledgeable, affable, flexible, punctual and has excellent taste in restaurants, and is an excellent driver on top of that. The only thing missing from our three days was perfect weather, so Julie skilfully rearranged our itinerary to give us the best chance to visit the summit of Table Mountain in glorious sunshine (which we did) and maximize our Continue Reading
