Good experience and professional guide
Charles was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made history feel alive throughout the trip. His clear explanations and engaging storytelling helped us connect with each place on a deeper level. A great guide for anyone looking to learn while exploring!
本当に素晴らしい。Cape pointで十分な時間の観光してあと、希望者はガイドと一緒にCape pointまで軽いハイキングで歩いて向かえる。アフリカ最南西端のトレッキングなんて夢みたい。ペンギンは期待通り。ガイドの方は道中ずっと楽しいトークで楽しませてくれます。絶対おすすめです。
