George Meyer

My sons, a friend and I were in Cape Town for a week in July 2015. Our guide for the duration of our stay was the lovely George Meyer, corporate banker turned tour guide. He was perfect for our group - never once hurrying us (despite us generally taking our time, especially with the photography), and always wanting us to have the best experience possible. Often, what was scheduled as a 'half day tour' stretched to full day ones; George was super accommodating and once he got to know us a bit better and our preferences, he wowed us with some fabulous detours that weren't on the itinerary - he's the master of sho't lefts :-) Needless to say, George was a veritable walking encyclopaedia - he seemed to know everything about everything, from the flora and fauna, to history, architecture and food. On the rare occasion that he didn't have an answer, he'd come back with an answer within the day. He's still obliging me with answers to my South Africa-related questions after we've returned to Singapore. Cape Town and its surrounds are beautiful - seeing all of it with George Meyer made it extra special for us, and I can't recommend him highly enough.
