Why Book With
AWOL Tours?
EXCELLENT Based on 905 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Alexis M05/05/2026Verified You don’t have to be young and fit for AWOL Tours to create a holiday of a lifetime We are an older couple and I have limited mobility. AWOL Tours were recommended to us and they have not disappointed. Despite our limitations they were able to create a bespoke itinerary for us that met our needs and matched our abilities. We have thoroughly enjoyed our South African holiday and the credit, in large part, goes to Wendy and the team at AWOL. They listened well and worked hard to ensure we were able to do all they can things we wanted in ways that worked for us. Highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor John H21/04/2026Verified Perfect introduction to Table Mountain! We booked AWOL tours for a hike of Table Mountain with our guide Carmen, who was such a great part of our experience! She was a wealth of knowledge, not only about the mountain, but also about Cape Town and its history. It was so great learning so much from her while on our hike. We ended up doing the India Venster loop which required some scrambling and beginner rock climbing. She expertly guided us through the more difficult portions and showed us exactly where to go to get up there safely. We kept saying afterwards well glad we were so glad she was with us on the hike. I would highly recommend this tour group!Posted on Tripadvisor Ken K03/04/2026Verified Cape Town tour Great way to see Cape Town and Lucas was the perfect guide. Highly recommendPosted on Tripadvisor Isabel_Koe03/04/2026Verified Walking through Cape Town with an expert. I did a private walking tour in Cape Town and had a very knowledgeable und interesting guide: Derrik. He not only explained landmarks, buildings and historical events, he also gave an insight into the South African society and life in Cape Town today and in the past. We hab beautiful weather and started on Signal Hill to get an overview of the city. As a horticulturer, Derrik was a specialist for plant in the VOC Garden. All in all - recommendable tour!Posted on Tripadvisor Tracey S25/03/2026Verified Highly recommend AWOL Tours Really enjoyed the personalised nature with a guide to answer all my questions. We went into places that I wouldn't have been to otherwise and saw sites close up that I'd never been to even though I'd been to Cape Town before. Very comfortable pace which made me feel safe and secure. Highly recommend it.Posted on Tripadvisor Keith b21/03/2026Verified Great way to see Capetown Really enjoyed our tour with Vince as our guide. Our route was about 10k in total with plenty of stops over about three hours, with fascinating insights, observations and history at every stop. We saw and learned so much - which just wouldn’t have been possible on a guided walking tour or self guided. RecommendedPosted on Tripadvisor Althoros13/03/2026Verified Great way to see the city Phoned up in the morning with no answer but then tried whatsapp and they responded immediately. Really helpful and efficient and sent pic of our guide Amber. Easy to find and park we were briefed and sized for our bikes. Helmets and water bottle (full) included. Amber was really helpful and friendly with good knowledge of the city and its sights. The tour took us all around and was not strenuous - a real way to experience local life. There was a shirt stop in Bo Kaap for a drink and taste of local snacks. We loved it ThanksPosted on Tripadvisor Hermandejonge08/02/2026Verified Aanrader verschillende fietstochten met AWOL Wij hebben de tour door een township gedaan met aansluitend een kookworkshop alles olv een gids. De gids was heel enthousiast en heeft ons veel verteld over het leven in de townships en het eten. We hebben kennis gemaakt met diverse projecten die opgestart zijn en wandelend en fietsend de omgeving verkend. Eerder maakten we met AWOL (via Baja Bikes) ook een fietstocht door Kaapstad olv een NL gids. Deze was ook zeer interessant met verschillende wetenswaardigheden over de geschiedenisPosted on Tripadvisor Companion4862696774308/02/2026Verified Aanrader We hebben een ontzettende leuke fietstour gehad met Gareth. Leuk om op deze manier meer over kaapstad en de geschiedenis te weten te komen. Zeker een aanrader!Posted on Tripadvisor Stephan v05/02/2026Verified Super ervaring met dank aan Gareth We did the bike tour through Cape Town with Awol Tours, booked via Baja Bikes, and it was an absolute highlight of our stay. Our guide, Gareth, truly made the experience exceptional. His relaxed, friendly approach immediately put everyone at ease, and his knowledge of Cape Town, its history, culture and daily life, is impressive. What stood out most was how he shared his stories: engaging, insightful and never rehearsed. Even though we have visited Cape Town no fewer than eight times, this tour was a very welcome and refreshing addition to our trips. Gareth showed us new perspectives, details and stories that we simply had not picked up before. All compliments to Gareth for an excellent tour. Highly recommended.
