“Amazing team that made my birthday trip with friends to the wine country unforgettable. They managed to negotiate for a wine farm to open just for us for an incredible lunch (De Meye), and at another, organized a unique wine and food pairing.”

Alice, New York

"We had limited time for leisure on a business trip to Cape Town and enjoyed our 4x4 wine safari with Henri. Magnificent views and a fun time. We would highly recommend Explore Sideways to others looking for a unique experience in the "Mother City".

Xavier, New Haven

"This has to be one of the best tours I've ever done. Henri, our guide was so helpful and knowledgeable and the experience was nothing less than excellent throughout. If you are looking for something unusual to do in Cape Town, you'll find this difficult to beat."

Peter, London
