Probably my best day of my week in Cape Town (though it was all good!). Guide Jason Menzies took myself and one other along the Pipe Trail and up Kasteelspoort track to the top. It was a day of mixed weather - cloud, sun, rain and cold - but thoroughly enjoyable. Jason not only knew so much about the flora... More

What a truly inspirational experience to experience a local South African township on a bicycle and with local people. My friend from Candada and myself were greeted with smiling faces by Zuai and his assistant. They answered all our questions, (we had many), then we chose our bicycles from a local business and we cycled through Masiphumele. Our first stop... More

This is way overdue! I was so fortunate to experience a 3 day hike of Cape Town or better known as the Hoerikwaggo Trail which was organised by AWOL tours. Being a Capetonian, it definitely needs to go on your 'to do list'. Living in the City is amazing but once you realise how much more to the city there... More

During our week in Cape Town we took two wonderful outings with AWOL. Sally started our week by taking us on a delightful city tour, where we not only got introduced to the City and its sights, but also a great historical perspective from someone whose own roots and ancestry represent the entire tapestry that is South Africa. A few... More

We recently did the 3 day Hoerikwaggo Trail offeredby AWOL Tours from Noordhoek to Table Mountain. We are South Africans who have been living in Saudi Arabia for 10 years and wanted to spend quality time hiking the traisl surrounding Table Mountain. The 3 day trip was incredible and greatly exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect - from the gorgeous... More

We did the bicycle Township Tour in Masiphumelele and found it an interesting eye opener. An other side of South Africa, meet the friendly local people. We look with lots of respect back on this tour. Zwai (our guide) could tell us a lot of the daily life in this township.

If I had to summarize how AWOL treated us in one word, it would be "professional". From start to finish, they were great. The person who took our order took the time to explain the different hiking trails on the mountain. That enabled us to book the right tour. The guide met us at the arranged place and time. He...

Our romantic bike experience was awesome. We were blessed to have perfect weather and enjoy a GREAT day. Its recommended to bring along comfortable shoes and clothing, water bottle, extra snacks, a hat and a camera as you can ride anywhere. The Green Point Common and beach front area offers spectacular scenery. The Green Point Park is a nice place... More

Cape Town turned on a day of wind and rain , with only a few bits of sunshine, but undeterred Sally guided us through a spectacular day of touring and cycling to Cape Point. My husband is a more committed rider than I am so Sally was happy to stop and put me in the car and my bike on... More

We had a wonderful experience with AWOL tours renting their hybrid bicycles for participating in the Cape Argus Cycle Tour – the world’s largest timed cycle event of 110km cycling around the beautiful Cape peninsula. The organisation re the bicycles was professionally executed, conveniently located and we had a wonderful race and exceeded our time expectations. The cherry on top... More
