I had the most perfect day on this wonderful hike guided by Ralph and Gill.  The area is one of outstanding beauty, but I would have missed so much to notice and understand about the flora, birds, animals and history without the Louw’s very helpful input.  Our’s was a small group of people who quickly got to know each other and enjoyed Gill and Ralph’s relaxed and friendly attitude to imparting their knowledge along the way.  We had a lot of fun and learnt a lot whilst enjoying a good healthy walk surrounded by fabulous nature.  

New to the Hermanus and beautiful Overberg area, we have been very fortunate to meet up with  Guides Gillian and Ralph who are both passionate and professional in the way they present their walks and hikes. The Wine Walk was a short 'loosener' for us both and has wet our appetites for further hikes in order to get to know the area. Gillian and Ralph not only have a wealth of knowledge to impart, but make their excursions fun with an easy style that immediately puts  everyone at ease. A first class experince that cannot be too highly recommended. Rod & Susan.

Gilly and Ralph were our guides on the stunningly beautiful 5 day Whale Trail in de Hoop Nature Reserve we finished last week in late Nov 2016. They are both passionate, interesting and very knowledgeable about the huge range of plant, insect, bird and animal life in the differing trail habitats...and genuinely enjoy sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with others. They are also kind, thoughtful and very good company with a sense of humour - a real bonus on any trail. Gilly is an outstanding cook and went to great lengths to look after us with delicious and plentiful food you would not think possible to provide on a 5 day trek. The whole trail experience was a joy and we would happily return for more with Gilly and Ralph as our guides.
