“Dear Richard
David and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for arranging such a fantastic holiday. It was a truly lovely experience and we were really loath to leave.
Now back in the grey UK but had to write to you straight away. Thanks for everything and for finding such interesting and beautiful places. S. Africa is definitely one of our favourite spots and we will come back to you again when we return. All the best. ”

“Dear Richard and Greatest Cape - We are now home after a week with the experiences of our life of ZA in general, Durban, Safari, Joburg and World Cup! Thanks to your skilled and very well done organizing of our tour! Not once did we have problems of any kind thanks to you!

The hosts, the guest houses, the nature, the wild animals, the views, your restaurant suggestions and the feeling of being taking care of 24 hours a day by all gave us a memory which we all will take with us forever! Richard, once again, a very warm and thankful regard to you for giving us all such a "once in a lifetime" experience! ”

“ Thanks a million to the team at Greatest Cape for an unforgettable holiday. If there is anything they don’t know about how to enjoy South Africa then it probably isn’t worth knowing. I dealt with a number of travel operators during my stay in Capetown but Greatest Cape’s attention to my requirements and focus on detail far surpassed any other company. I believe this is not only due to their high standards of personal, professional service but also their genuine passion to share every aspect of the unique African experience which they have spent years discovering for themselves.

I contacted Greatest Cape to book a safari during a visit to Cape town. They immediately responded with four fantastic options including travel itineraries, and also sent a comprehensive list of recommended restaurants to enhance my stay in Cape town. I chose one of the game reserves they have personally visited and was not disappointed. Umzolozolo Lodge is a special and rare find; in three days there we saw the big five and more, swam through waterfalls and enjoyed the luxurious accommodation. This would not have been possible without Greatest Cape, who took my brief and instinctively knew how to deliver my objective on budget. This is a team you can trust – a real class act. ”

“ My husband and I had the pleasure and good fortune to have Richard Hilton as our wine expert and personal tour guide the 2 days we spent in Winelands. We were thrilled at the whirlwind tour he gave us, chock full of history, knowledge and interesting sites to see and vineyards to go to.
It was a treat for all of our senses - being able to learn and taste the wonderful wines-along with some choclate tasting! as well and having him share his knowledge of the country & experience of wine making along with the wonderful acquaintances he has met over the years. 
His being a winemaker himself also added another special ingredient to the knowledge he shared with us. He added such a personal touch and took some wonderful pictures of us that made the vacation even more memorable.
I truly recommend having Richard take you through Winelands, it is an experience you won't forget! ”

We were most impressed by your knowledge and enthusiasm for the wine, for the country and the history and architecture of the beautiful Cape winelands. Thank you.”

“An extremely enjoyable and informative day. It was like a fine wine – well balanced with good structure and with many interesting notes and nuances. We particularly liked the linkage to South Africa history and architecture which gave an added value to the day. Your knowledge as a producer was a new insight into the world of wine. Many thanks indeed.”
