What Clients’ Say
We really appreciate our clients feedback on their African Blue experience as we are constantly striving to improve our service levels and selection of tour and safari experiences.
We had a great time on the Garden Route and Addo tour. The tour is very well organized and the places we stayed were all lovely. Our guide Christine was fantastic and she really shared the love she has for her country, South Africa, often going out of her way to please us. Everything we saw was just awesome and the people we met on the tour were great and contributed to make our tour enjoyable.
Great thanks to all of you,
Danielle
“Cape Town & Magical Garden Route”
5 of 5 stars
Reviewed 30 January 2014
It’s almost a year since we have seen David Smith of Africa Blue, and I still keep telling people about what a great time we had with him.
We had several experiences with him over a period of 6 days – all great!
Firstly, he got us the Robben Island Tour in the ‘nick of time’. We had arrived by cruise ship and were late docking so, with military precision and a casual, yet efficient manner, he made sure we got there in time.
He guided us around Cape Town and Table Mountain. I like his style. He gives you enough information and enough time to yourself. Some guides just keep talking and nothing sinks in. He has a healthy balance.
A few days later, he collected us in Franschhoek and guided us for 5 days to various destinations and attractions on the “Garden Route”.
Throughout this time, David had to deal with varying numbers of Aussies as some joined different parts of the activities. In total, there were 14 people.
All-in-all, a big “thank you”. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
