• KABLAB 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles An Amazing Experience We had the most amazing experience on the Garden Route. Eugene was our guide from start to finish. He picked us up in George and drove us to Plett. We visited the Elephant Sanctuary, Knysna Heads, the FeatherBed, saw beautiful views, Tsitsikama kayaking and lilo, Bramon winery, and Eugene drove us to Capetown stopping in Hermanus en route and driving the scenic route from there. Our experience was greatly enhanced by the the knowledge Eugene shared with us at every opportunity. We felt respected, cared for, and much more educated about South African life and customs. Thank you Eugene! Thank you Gecko tours!! Read more Written 6 February 2024
• AdrianHarris660 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles First class service from start to finish Gecko were recommended to me by a friend, and so pleased they were. From the outset, Sharon and the office team considered our requests and built us a tour which met every bit of our requirement. We played simply the best golf courses (inc Fancourt Lynks & Montagu, and Pinnacle Point plus Arabella); organisation was perfect. 4 of us had a personal minibus and driver/guide service for our entire stay, our guide Eugine was fantastic. Our hotels were pre-booked and always of great quality, Eugine was always on time and ensured we kept to our busy schedule - he even took care of arranging for us to go Shark Cage diving t very short notice. Eugine became part of our trip, enjoying lunches with him and learning so much from his passion of his home country . Gecko showed flexibility throughout, nothing was too much trouble. Only regret in recommending them so highly is the potential for them being too busy for me next time. Thanks all at Gecko, a first class service, you should be very proud of what you do.

• katrin02 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Amazing Garden Route Tour We really enjoyed our trip with Gecko Tours. Everything was well planned and Sharon organised a personalised tour for us. We loved everything but especially the Meerkats, Botlierskop Safari and Tsitsikamma National Park. Eugène was the best guide and chauffeur we could imagine and amazing company. Always on time and flexible if we wanted to change something on the programme. He taught us a lot about South Africa's history and culture , nature and wildlife, took us to the best vineyards and wine tasting and got us the best tables in the best restaurants. Thank you again Eugene ! The hotels Gecko Tours booked for us were out of this world, some of the nicest we stayed in and we have been travelling a lot. We highly recommend Gecko Tours !

• Rajmukh 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Wondrous and more! It is not often one runs out of superlatives while visiting a place. But that is exactly what happened to us in our South Africa, garden route trip. We are a family of four who have never visited Africa, let alone the rainbow nation. We arrived with trepidation. I put all my trust in Gecko Tours to book the whole trip for us. All we did was to book the flights. Sharon, the owner of Gecko Tours planned the itinerary and Nelis, her husband executed it to perfection. We were picked up from Cape Town airport by Nelis in his luxury vehicle and we stayed in the Commodore hotel at the V&A waterfront. The hotel was great to live in, and the food served was fantastic. It was fresh with excellent choices and cooked to perfection. We had 2 dinners in the hotel and were very pleased. V&A waterfront was as expected with shops and entertainment. Although the food we had there was good, we felt it to be slightly overpriced. But you get to have the ambience and the excitement of being in the V&A waterfront. At Cape Town, we went up the Table Mountain in the cable car. The views were stunning, and the terrain, wildlife and flora were unique. Besides multiple experiences like the vineyards wine tasting or chocolate tasting, the Seal Island, penguin watching, Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope and whale watching in Hermanus which were brilliant experiences, our absolute highlight would be the visit to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Nelis, as ever, pointed us to the unmissable bits and the canopy walk is certainly not to be missed. Gecko tours organised the places to stay, the experiences and the travel. All the places we stayed were wonderful. We were pleased with the Commodore Hotel at Cape Town but our stay at Mooiplaas guest house or Amanzi Lodge at Knysna was out of this world. The Sky Villa hotel at Plettenberg Bay had views to die for while the final days of the tour were at Lalibela Safari Park which was once in a lifetime experience. The food we ate in South Africa was amazing. Nelis suggested places to eat which varied from great restaurants with stunning views to lunch in a vineyard. The ambience and the culinary experience will be in our memories forever. Where else can you see a humpback whale jumping while you are having your fish or a magnificent giraffe joining you for lunch from the other side of the lake? The travel was comfortable with stunning views. Finally, the animals. We were blessed with great weather and were lucky to see whales, ostriches, penguins, hundreds of birds, big cats, small cats, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, hundreds of antelopes, and lots and lots of other animals. It was a humbling experience seeing animals in their habitat at liberty to behave as they want. Gecko Tours organised everything for us except the flights and we did not feel we could have done better doing it ourselves. The whole trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience done in luxury. The places, the experiences, the travel, the food, and the animals were all perfect. We recommend Gecko Tours wholeheartedly. Nelis was extremely knowledgeable, gave us plenty of background information, and made the perfect recommendations for restaurants. Thanks to the Gecko Tours team, we had our best holiday so far.

• katewD2123BX 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great experience! My husband and I hired Gecko Tours to be our private guide for our 9-day trip on the Garden Route from Cape Town. We were in communication with Sharon who initially gave us a great sample itinerary to work with and then we were able to customize it to our liking. The quote was affordable. Our driver, Nelis kept us safe and entertained with stories and titbits of the towns we drove through. He also gave great recommendations of where to eat. He got to each destination efficiently and gave us a good timeframe of how much time we had at each place. We were able to check off all the activities we wanted to do. The accommodations were amazing! The vehicle was comfortable. Although Cape Town and the Garden Route don’t seem to be unsafe, it gave us peace of mind to let a local drive us. Thank you Sharon and Nelis for such a memorable experience in South Africa! Read more Written 18 September 2023

• akverma123 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Nice Garden Route Trip We did a 10 day Garden Route Trip with them and it was marvelous. I was travelling with my wife and daughter. I had done the itinerary and stay with Sharon and her understanding of the route is super. The hotels she had selected for us were superb - location and comfort wise. Everything was done by her. We were collected from Port Elizabeth and we did all the activities on Garden Route during our ten day trip with stays at Plettenberg Bay, Knysna, Oudstroon, Hermanus and CapeTown. While all activities were nice we especially enjoyed Cango Wildlife Ranch and Whale watching tour where we not just watched whales but also sharks, penguins and seals. Our guide Nelis was our guide who is a wonderful person with a wonderful sense of humour and plenty of knowledge about all the places en route and much more. He took good care of us. If one has to plan tour of Garden Route, just leave it to Sharon and I can assure you you will not regret it. Read more Written 10 October 2022

Everyone had a great time doing safaris and visiting towns along the beautiful Garden Route. Big thanks to Sharon of Gecko Tours, whom I first contacted in December 2020. Since then, she has been so patiently working with me to decide on our itinerary and lodging, based on our time and budget and interests. Things change between then and this May, on our side. Sharon always helped me adjusting our plan. We also want to thank Nelis, who is our guide and driver. Like Sharon, he has our interest in mind. We can always count on him to introduce us to the best scenery, trails, winery, restaurant… And Nelis does everything with great patience and professionalism. South Africa is such an amazing country! We know we will come back for our fifth and sixth etc. visits. When we come back with our children and grandchildren, we would love to again work with Gecko Tours! Thank you, Sharon and Nelis!

• bunny335 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Excellent Garden Route Tour Eugene was the perfect ambassador for South Africa. He offered to wait for us to drive us about two blocks down the pier after our boat cruise was done, and was fine to do that even if it was waiting an hour and a half. We didn’t ask him to do that, as it was very very close for us to walk. He also adjusted our trip to accommodate the late arrival of our plane and the weather. Then he worked with the company to make up for the activities we didn’t do the day before. Not his fault! Completely out of anyones control and the Gecko company did their best to make this trip work! Eigegne’s knowledge of the area history, culture, languages, and I even some local stories areas educational and entertaining. He was patient, he was kind, and very helpful. I would absolutely recommend this group to anyone coming to this part of the world, and I think Eugene for being a part of our memorable trip. Read more Written 26 March 2022
