Grandiose day on the Garden Route - The Garden Route tour with Carlin was great. The hike to Suspension Bridge passes through rainforest. The suspension bridge is an impressive experience. We were totally enthusiastic about the huge free flight aviary "Birds Eden" and could have stayed there for hours. But that wasn't the end of the day. Monkeyland was still waiting for us and was also a highlight. An all-round successful day full of impressions. Thanks, Carlin! You're the best!

It was a safe and enjoyable tour. - We went to Peaceport, which was three and a half hours later than we had originally planned, but the guide had been waiting for us and we were very relieved to have him pick us up at the gate.
They were flexible and, most importantly, they replied as soon as I asked them a question, which immediately resolved my worries and anxieties. It was a great tour company and guide.

Gentle and attentive - Even if the ship was nearly three hours late, they communicated via whatsapp. They changed the meeting point to be fairly close and drove us to the boat's entrance. Even though we were quite late, the guide was kind and flexibly took care of our visit.

Worthwhile Tour! - The garden route tour was amazing! Jeffrey's Bay stood out for me and I'd definitely wanna show it to my kids soonest! Monkey land and Birds of Eden were amazing! Also the quad biking was thrilling 🫠. The drive is long BUT worthwhile because you get to see a whole lot other things that are not mentioned in the tour! Take this tour and thank me later! 😉😉😉

200% Satisfactory Tour - With Carlin's car and guide, we had lunch at TotalEnergies Petroport Tsitsikama, walked to and from the Storms River bridge, and went around the sights Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary & Birds of Eden·Tsitsikamma National Park Storms River Suspension bridge·Jeffereys Bay until late. He kept me cheerful and thorough with a spirit of service, and I was impressed with how he talked about how drivers don't get sleepy on monotonous roads even though they thought they were tired, and it was a 200% satisfying garden route tour!
In particular, Monkeyland and Birds of Eden, although they are in the park, have been able to observe the monkeys in a natural way without cages, see the birds flapping freely and have taken a lot of good photos
The Suspension bridge is also an authentic three-suspension bridge along the coastline, offering a stunning view!
Right after we left the Suspension bridge, they parked on the high ground and took a few minutes to take a picture of the beautiful sunset on the horizon, because it was beautiful today!

A tour to remember - Carlin Tour did and fantastic job in taking us a group of 6 to Garden of Eve, monkey land, Storms of Bridge, garden Route, and Suspension Bridge. Carlin was very through and well time management. We saw so many beautiful birds and lemurs. This is a tour of building memory. I strongly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour in Port Elizabeth! - It was 6 of us on the tour 1 Day Garden Route in Port Elizabeth South Africa. Carlin picked us up at the cruise port and dropped us back the same meeting point. Carlin was prompt, professional, and courteous. Carlin took us to Monkey land, Bird of Eden, Storms River Bridge (walked to the other side of the bridge and back). Went to a beautiful national park. This was well worth the tour. Strongly recommended. If you can request Carlin Tour, you’ll be in for a treat.

Great tour a definite must - Great tour, the Garden Route is truly beautiful. I can now see why it is so much talked about. I would definitely recommend this tour exspecially if you have time constraints, in this full one day tour you see quite abit of this beautiful area. Stunning scenery and wildlife is beautiful combination. My personal favorite was seeing the monkeys at Monkeyland, it was great to get up so close and personal to these wonderful animals playing eating and swinging around.

Small insight into the natural beauties of the Garden Route - We were in Port Elizabeth on a cruise ship. To see at least some of the legendary Garden Route, we booked the tour. The highlights were the Monkey Land and the mouth of the Storm River with the suspension bridge. The path to the suspension bridge was about 1 km long and requires some fitness (a total of about 850 steps).
