    The tour and accommodation was excellent. Our guide Maudi great! Great value. There was an issue with booking originally and the communication thru the tour radar app definitely needs work as we had to call the office overseas when our questions were not being answered. As it was we only found out the tour we had received confirmation on was cancelled the day before our departure - but nobody got a hold of us - it was our panicked enquiry from us to confirm pick up time and location the day before the tour was to depart that brought it to light to tour radar. However the customer service girls Corrine an Mika

    TK is the best driver guide and very good music taste for the journey in the bus. Good activities along the way, very nice accommodations. All meals are not included, but breakfast is. As a suggestion it may be better as a buffet style, and some lunch stops during the day need more options and only have a time for take-away.

    Very good, very informative. There was always a nice atmosphere ; you could talk about anything with anyone and there was so much to learn and see! The best tour guide: Isaac was organized, known by everyone from the destinations, cool atmosphere in the bus always = would do it again, or explore another area with Isaac and Hotspots2c again!

    10/5 - Everything amazing, well timed and a wonderful experience. Isaac is lovely and the best guide and person. The activities were very engaging and with a good balance of resting and being active. Beautiful accommodations and the transport was so comfortable. And of course our guide Isaac did a great job of making sure we all got what we needed.

    Isaac always took good care of us and made us feel safe. He is such a friendly guide, who is teaching us about culture and history while driving along beautiful scenes, but always in a way that it wasn't too much or boring. We were always able to ask him anything, and he answered with all his local knowledge. Thank you so much for this great team effort.

    Amazing experience made even better by our tour guide. Nothing was too much effort, he did all in his pwer to make the tour so special for us. All I can say is WOW - this trip surpassed my expectations in every way and the best part of our tour was our amazing guide Uriel. He is a wonderful soul and an asset to the tour company. A few pointers: Accommodation choice were lovely, Addo was our favourite safari stop, and all of the other activities were amazing and great value too. The drives never felt too long, we had great entertainment: music, guide sharing local stories and interesting history. Uriel did a great job of bringing our group to life - making everyone feel part of the small group travel experience. Oh South Africa - what a magical place! Love it!

    When I booked this tour I had no idea that I was arranging to have one of the most amazing experiences of my life. No itinerary could have prepared me for the last 5 days. From stunning views exciting experiences and our wonderful tour guide Uriel this tour surpassed my wildest dreams. It wasn't just 5 days in a tour bus with a few stops on the way... it was meeting new friends, learning about culture and the country, finding appreciation in small and wonderful things. Uriel really went the extra mile, to give us an exceptional time. He made sure we are comfortable got to know each other better and as a part of our group, of course he joined us for experiences and dinner... We could tell that Uriel absolutely loves what he does and we were so lucky to have him as our guide!
