Cape Travel Guy – Your Private Tour Guide

Cape Travel Guy -Your Private Tour Guide

Cape Travel Guy is a small, bespoke tour company personally run and guided by Lance Elliott—an accredited guide with a background in security and an Advanced Driver’s Certificate.

We focus on couples and small groups because it allows for a more genuine connection. Over time, guests often feel less like clients and more like friends sharing the journey. While each tour has a thoughtful structure, there’s always room to follow your curiosity, because no two travellers are the same. In fact, many of our best moments begin with a simple question: “What’s down that road?”

From the moment you set off, you’ll notice the difference. It’s not just about seeing Cape Town, it’s about experiencing it in a way that feels natural, relaxed, and genuinely personal.

With Cape Town’s breathtaking scenery and world-class wineries, days are designed to flow effortlessly. Mornings might include a gentle adventure or scenic exploration, followed by leisurely afternoons enjoying exceptional wines or perhaps a craft gin, in beautiful surroundings. There’s no rush, no pressure, just a comfortable pace that lets you soak in every moment and create memories that last long after the journey ends.

If you’re looking for something more personal, more flexible, and a little more meaningful than the typical tour, Cape Travel Guy quietly delivers exactly that.
