We needed two tickets to Robben Island close to the last minute, and this agency helped me immediately with great efficiency and care. My husband and I I were able to enjoy an unforgettable day touring the island with an exciting boat ride. I am most grateful to KJA for looking after us and making it possible.

Very professional, knowledgeable and personable. Joseph goes above and beyond for his guests. He is not time conscious and ensured that we enjoyed the sites and experiences. We did the Cape Point/Cape of Good making a few stops along the way for pics etc. Hope tour and had a wonderful day, we had lunch at the restaurant at Good Hope, think it is called 2 Oceans, food, service and views, all 10/10.. if you are in Capetown use Joseph, you won’t regret it.

The tour was great. So much was learnt of the South African history during the Apartheid. The start of the revolution against segregation and the South African activists who fought for justice for black Africans. It was an enlightening and rewarding experience.
