WHALE WATCHING CRUISE WITH A STAR TEAM - The boat cruise for whale watching was very professionally organised. Good briefings at the start of the trip. The boat crew spent lot of time explaining what we were watching and answered questions. Staff took efforts to ensure we got the best viewing

Discovering the "planet country" - We toured Iceland with the Quality Diamond. Everything was perfect, from the organization to the company. Andrea, our guide, contributed to make our trip unforgettable. A true professional who with his explanations made us know and love, in all its facets, this beautiful and primordial land.

A Cape Town Trip to Remember – Thanks to Percy, Hilton & Arlene! - We had an amazing experience exploring Cape Town!
From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Percy was fantastic in arranging all the transportation and bookings—not only for this day but also for an unforgettable excursion to Cape Point, Simon’s Town, and the breathtaking Chapman’s Peak Drive.
We spent two wonderful days with Hilton and Arlene, who were both incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible throughout. Their insights brought each destination to life, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience.
This was our first time in Cape Town, and thanks to this team, it truly exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended!

Before last stay... - as always a great stay, the management listening, the reception staff also great. Overall all employees are top.
Too bad that at the end of October this hotel is no longer part of the TUI catalog (too greedy for the price..) We return in October to say goodbye to all this team (animation, staff) with a pinch in our hearts since we have been staying there for 10 years.
Many thanks to all and courage for the rest

An absolutely amazing experience - We had the most amazing time with Percy as our guide. He was professional, knowledgeable and extremely charismatic as our tour guide. We went on a guided wine tour and the views were stunning and the wine was amazing. 10/10 and would definitely recommend Percy Tours to everyone visiting Hermanus.

What a great experience! - We had never been on a walking Whale watching tour before, but as some members of our party do not fair well on boats, we thought it would be worth a try.
Percy was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, and made us all feel at ease within moments of meeting him. He was also very accomodating to our evolving needs.
We were extremely lucky during our trip, and got to see a young Southern Right Whale breaching multiple times just off the bay. It was magical and something we had never encountered before on previous Whale Watching excursions.
We would definitely book with Percy Tours again and will be recommending them.

Splendid tour! - We had a splendid time with our group of 8, being part of Percy Tours in October for about 10 days!! During this time we stayed in Hermanus, as well as Stellenbosch and Paarl.
Even before the start of our trip Percy really took the time to schedule a call with us and talk about the things that we wished to see and do! In addition he gave us some great recommendations for accommodations!
During the trip Percy was a fantastic and enthusiastic guide, who clearly knew a lot about South African wines, and was prepared to take us to any winery in Hermanus, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl we selected (no matter how remote), as well as being our trusted advisor on any places to visit depending on the preferences of the group. For our group this included a whalewatching tour and a sunny golfday!
He had great flexibility throughout and even went out of his way to recover a lost item for us at a previous winery as well as helping us out with some logistical issues in our further travels in South Africa!
We had a great time and wish we could do it all over again!
So if you are interested in trying South African wines and don’t want to be driving back to your hotel after sampling a few too many, or you just want to sea whatever the Western Cape has to offer, we highly recommend to book an itinerary with Percy tours!

Great Knowledge and personality on Wine, Wildlife and the History of The Western Cape. - We found Percy through trip advisor when I was looking for Whale watching and Wine tours around Hermanus. He helped plan our visit, from the requests we gave and suggesting better options we hadn’t thought of.
He was able to reorganise our visit if the weather changed and was very knowledgable about all the activities we did.
Using Percy tours saved us alot of time and stress and he is great advocate of the area. It was a great asset to have someone who understood the British sense of humour when you with them for several days. You will not be disappointed.
