This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Communication before the day itself was great and Lynette was super flexible given that the forecast for the morning was less than good, so very kindly agreed to start the tour at 7.30 (!!) rather than 9 to ensure we could make the most of our time with her before the rain set in. She was friendly, knowledgeable and great company. We really enjoyed ourselves from start to fnish. The scenery was just stunning; epic views and fascinating history as to how the pass came to be built. I really recommend this tour!

We did a full day Swartberg Mountain tour with Jan, and this was one of the best things we did in our 2-week trip to South Africa. The tour itself was everything we could have hoped. We did some hiking, and Jan took us to beautiful locations and captured amazing photos for us. For us, the real value was from the conversations we had with Jan throughout the day. I can't believe how much we learned from having his local perspective on the region and South Africa in general. He also gave me a lesson on how to brai (South African cookout that) and even helped me pick out some local wine and Karoo lamb to brai in the evening. Overall, Jan went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience, and I'd highly recommend the tour!

Excellent few hours in a spectacular landscape Whilst the pass can be accessed by most vehicles, the ability to "sit back" and enjoy the views cannot be underestimated Our guide, Lynette Boshoff shared her knowledge of the area covering history as well as the flora and fauna willingly We included some walking on the pass which (again) would be difficult with one's own vehicle We adjusted times to suit our travel plans which made the tour and the rest of the day highly pleasurable Would recommend this tour to anyone

It was an amazing experience on the country side in Oudtshoorn. Lynette showed so many different things, like the birthplace of stars. She explained very detailed, how our universe works. I can highly recommend this activity in Oudtshoorn. What are planets? What are stars? What are constellations? How far away is the next star? She didn't miss any detail. Thank you so much!!!
