Hylton Ross Tours

South Africa -the land of prosperity, cultural differences with absolutely amazing places to visit and mind boggling beauty of the never to be forgotten panoramic views from mountains high to valleys below, not forgetting the rugged coastline and inviting beaches.... the only way to really see it all is to take a bus tour. These exhilarating scenic drives and visitation to places can only really be appreciated when someone else does the driving, someone who also has the knowledge and insight of the Western Cape and Garden Route.

And the best way to do this is with Hilton Ross Tours.

Hilton Ross offers a variety of packaged tours that gives best value for money, the freedom to choose and plan your days for sightseeing the heart of Cape Town, Table Mountain, the Peninsula, or touring of the Wine Route, the Garden Route and many more tantalising places to visit, appreciate and photograph.

A must to be seen is Hermanus. This is a charming 'off the beaten track' seaside village. Famous for its giant aquatic summer visitors, is one of the continents most desired tourist destinations. There is far more to this bustling seaside town than her whales. The tour includes dramatic mountain passes, beautiful coastal estuaries, secluded seaside retreats of the rich and famous and one of the most scenic coastal roads in the world.

Also a huge attraction in Cape Town is the Topless Cape Town City Tour. There is no better way than to see the Mother City, the Waterfront, the City centre, Table Mountain for a panoramic view which includes a coastal drive back through Camps Bay. This bus also is a "Hop on, Hop off" service during the day, which allows you to use this tour as a convenient way to access all major highlights in Cape Town (including a visit to Camps Bay beach).

Here traditional healers, traders, markets, shebeens and the church play an important role in the community.Tour the well-known "Bo-Kaap" (Tradional Malay Quarters) and visit the District Six Museum. Buy arts and crafts and take back a souvenir of this amazing A frican experience.

Robben Island and city tour

Despite being the only two people booked on the tour for the day (Robben Island and City Tour), we were given essentially a private tour of Cape Town by the wonderful Enrico. He was informative, friendly, and accommodating the entire day. We started our tour at our hotel (picked up by Enrico) who took us to the ferry port. From there, we went to Robben Island, without Enrico, as the island has its own guides in the form of ex-political prisoners. Would highly recommend as our guide around the island, Sparks, was brilliant. On our return to the mainland, Enrico showed us around the V&A waterfront, followed by a detailed driving tour of Cape Town. This included a trip up the cable car to the top of Table Mountain, where Enrico told us all about the fynbos and more about Cape Town from above. We finished our tour with a drive around Camps Bay and back to our hotel. A fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable tour which we would highly recommend to anyone who has not been to Cape Town before.

Had a bus driver called Mu’een and he looked after us for our 7 day tour around Cape Town and the surrounding area playing rugby and football matches and going to tourist spots. He made a maximum effort everyday making sure everyone was happy. He went out of his way to make a flag with the schools logo and sporting equipment on it and never stopped making us smile and laugh. He radiated positivity everyday no matter what the weather was like or how the sport fixtures had gone. On our last day he dressed up in full black tie attire and gave us an amazing send off from the airport. He was the nicest bus driver I have had the privilege of meeting and hope him all the best in the future.

I am late with this review but I couldn't not post because the service I received from Eric Tyalo, the Tour Guide and James, the driver was impeccable.  Eric's, knowledge of the history and the city of Johannesburg was without doubt unmatched. We learned so much from the him and the Tours. We did the city tour, Soweto, Humankind, and several others and each one provided a different experience. We are very grateful  for these 2 men, the knowledge they shared, and Tours provided.

The best tour, and even better tour guide (Rowan) ever for myself (Bradley) and Rebekah on our honeymoon Journey across South Africa. We only have the two days here in Cape Town and thanks to Rowan we saw, learnt and experienced so much in this short time, just the half day tour and it was exceptional. We would 100% recommend this to anyone, looked after to the fullest. All the best to Rowan, it was lovely meeting you. Happily return the favour if you visit our no way near as beautiful Leeds in the UK. Cape Town, is beautiful, we wish we had longer!

Best driver we have met! Mueen is his name. One week trip in cape town and garden route to port elisabeth. So friendly and humble driver. 100% reliable. A man with good vibes and wisdom.

Ended up going on this excursion on my own when my friend had her flight delayed. So glad I did! Mario was the nicest tour guide and made me feel right at ease, chatting away with history about South Africa and Stellenbosch. No question was off limits about history or culture. The drive through of the old town was just right. We made it to 1 winery, L’Avenir, which I was fine with so I could take my time. The tour of the grounds and cellar were nice and the ambiance was lovely. The pours were generous, the cheese pairing was perfect, and the bottles were reasonably priced and could be shipped internationally. Overall a great day! Recommended for single lady travelers, small or large groups!

All in all a great day

Despite dire weather, William reworked our schedule so we still had a great day. He was professional, very friendly and knowledgeable. Set off to see the seals in a catamaran but the weather changed dramatically within a few minutes so we had to turn back. Still, the scenery was worth it. We still managed to see so much and had lunch overlooking the harbour. Visited Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point. Saw animals that we didn’t expect to - dolphins, ostriches, eland, baboons and enjoyed the views at the lighthouse after the funicular. Did manage to see the penguins at Boulders beach. All in all a great day!

Started with a climb up Table Mountain with our guide, Justin. Amazing experience, Justin was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the mountain and surrounding area. He was an excellent guide. The climb was uneven terrain with a bit of scrambling. Not difficult for anyone is reasonably fit. Would highly recommend. The private city tour in the afternoon was very interesting. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. However, it did feel a little rushed at times.It was a good introduction to Cape Town. The following day, we did The Walk Freedom tour in the morning, which introduced us to the complexity of South Africa's recent past and apartheid. Our guide was excellent and gave us a clear picture of what happened and why. He then took us to Langa, a township, which showed us the impact apharteid has had on how people live now. In the afternoon, we toured Robben Island, which was one of our highlights of our time in Cape Town

From the beginning, we were warmly welcomed by the tour Guide Sally. We felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! Her guide and the tour was extremely fantastic, very flexible and for that she deserves a special thanks. We had a nice local popcorn that she brought for us which was so good and added up to the experience. Sally is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide! She knows a lot of things and I truly enjoyed what she was talking during in the van. All respect for Sally who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Many thanks again and I recommend sally to everyone! That we booked a tour again with her trip! Lol
