Bio
I registered as a tourist guide in October 2010.
I have been conducting tours in the Western Cape province and am currently in the process of planning to do tours to Russia during our winter season in Cape Town.
I have been doing primarily my own tours but have also worked as a freelance guide for other companies during the peak seasons.
Working as a freelance guide has really made me aware of the great passion I have developed for the job. I always want to do more and go out of my way to show tourists as much as I can, but this has often got me into trouble when working for other companies, as they usually do "shortcuts" and only allow for a rigid itinerary to be followed.
I, therefore, perform better working for myself doing private tours, as I continually adapt the itinerary to suit the tourist's interests, the more I get to know them during the tour.
Another factor to the advantage of my guests is that I am not bound by time like most tourist guides are. For instance, I love to take people for sundowners at the end of a tour or to see the sunset. This contributes to tourists feeling relaxed and having a good time.
Feel free to contact me for any inquiries or to discuss all the options available during your upcoming visit to Cape Town, or if you are interested to do a tour to Russia with me.
Best regards.
