Best of Port Elizabeth - Kyle was an outstanding tour guide, he is beyond knowledgeable. He shows us around the city and to the sandy coast where the lighthouse is standing all by its lonesome. The best part of the trip. I asked him about local eateries. He took us to “This is Eat”, a local Halal Seafood house by the fishermen wholesales area. The owner and his staff was so courteous and wonderful. We have the best Calamari and fish and chips ever. They are fresh, tender and juicy. Best wishes go out Kyle, This is Eat and Port Elizabeth. We have a wonderful day trip

Port Elizabeth City Tour - Great sightseeing Tour with Kyle from Urban Africa Tours. It was a city tour but also took in a couple of beautiful beaches. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and would highly recommend.

Wonderful experience - Fabulous tour. After confirming the arrangements the night before, Kyle arrived in pristine transport on time. He was warm, friendly and engaging. He asked about my interests and planned the tour to suit me. His historical knowledge of the City made the tour really interesting. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Definitely excellent value for money!
