Kim Cameron, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

On a chance encounter we met Brandon. On short notice he was able to create a day in the winelands that was perfect for us. We got to experience 4 completely different wineries and had a delicious lunch. The day was not rushed at all and we were able to take our time. WHEN we visit Cape Town again we will definitely be contacting Brandon to show us other highlights of the area.

Looking forward to opening a bottle or 2 that we bought and remember the day while looking through the photos you took for us.

During our recent trip to Cape Town and surrounding areas, we were so lucky to have Brandon as our guide, driver, historian and friend. Brandon was always right on time, excellent with communications and knows how to balance a days activities with nice stops for meals or refreshments. He was incredibly flexible and responsive when we asked for last minute changes to our plans and always had great recommendations for some impromptu ideas when we were in various areas. Brandon can provide great background on the historical relevance of areas, as well as commentary on some of the social and political drivers behind the changes in South Africa over its many year history. There are very few areas that Brandon considers outside of his offering, and he can help his guests experience many different flavors of CT and additional areas in SA. There are “ways” that things are done in Cape Town, and Brandon knows how to manage these unique transactions and he is also very safety conscious and helps his guests experience exciting activities safely. If you have a long lost relative in Cape Town or in others areas of SA - chances are Brandon can make a connection. Brandon grew up in CT he knows everyone! We highly recommend touring with Brandon and can’t stress enough how thoughtful and helpful he was during our 9 day visit.

Susan Kuklin, Manhattan, New York

It's rare to meet an enthusiastic tour guide who gives such personal attention to his clients that you feel you are spending the day with a good friend. Brandon is not only extremely knowledgeable about Cape Town and environs, he goes above and beyond his role to insure you have an interesting and pleasurable time. Highest recommendations and appreciation to you, Brandon. And thanks.

Frances Mary, Christchurch, New Zealand

I had a glorious day today with a knowledgeable and quite wonderful host who catered to my every whim and added experiences that I would never have known if it were not for his expertise. And all of the marvellousness was facilitated by Brandon Platt Touring Guiding and Driving. I cannot recommend him highly enough to do justice to his knowledge, energy, commitment and humour. Absolutely fabulous! Thank you, thank you Brandon. Today was undoubtedly a highlight amongst all of my experiences of tour guides around the world.


Michele Gold Buring, Memphis, Tennessee, USA

Brandon is thoughtful, kind and creative. His tour is personalized for your individual needs and his kindness is the energy that successfully makes the journey seem like you are a beloved native and not just a visitor. Thank you, Brandon! We loved our day with you! We felt like we were at home!


Margo Morrison, Manhattan, New York, New York USA

I would have checked 10 out of 5, but it wasn’t an option. Brandon was one of the main reasons why my family and I had such an amazing time in Cape Town. Who wants to rent a van and drive on the wrong side of the road (lol) or take an Uber around when you can have one of the most knowledgeable and genuinely upbeat guides show you why Cape Town is the most beautiful place on earth. We booked Brandon every single day and couldn’t imagine not having him to take us everywhere. He showed up on time each day and knew where to sightsee, eat and walk around. His knowledge of real estate was an added bonus as we got to see crazy expensive properties and up and coming neighborhoods. In seven days, I don’t believe we missed a thing. Oh, and one of the safest drivers around. Book him before his calendar gets full.


Solomon Segal, Toronto, Canada

Brandon was the perfect tour guide! He was always on time, always knowledgable about the city and even knew the best restaurants to go to! I felt extremely safe in his hands as he navigated the treacherous landscapes of Cape Town. The next time I'm in South Africa, Brandon will be the guide for me.

Kim Hodge, Lathrup Village, Michigan, USA

We were glad to find Brandon as an Uber driver and guide and to be able to hire him to drive us around CT for two days. He took us to great places that we would never have found as well as to places that people recommended for us. We appreciated having him tell us local stories and giving us local flavour. His guidance was exceptional and crucial to our having a wonderful experience in the area. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a local guide and driver. He will take you wherever you ask and more!


Angela Fritz, Richmond, South Africa

Mark Ginsburg, Sydney Australia

Recently I pointed some Australian friends who were visiting Cape Town to Brandon. They came back with glowing appreciation for that connection.
Good on yer Brandon!👌


Elisa Stern, New York City USA

Had a wonderful time traveling to Cape Point and Boulders Beach (penguins!) with Brandon. I’ve since recommended him to friends 😀


Herman Lategan Cape Town South Africa

Last Thursday evening I had to attend a function in Wellington. I didn't want to drive from Green Point, so I hired the services of Brandon Platt.
I don't endorse people before trying their services. I can tell you now, what a professional. He drove safely, the car was comfortable, and he waited for a few hours for my function to finish and brought me back, right to my front door.
He gets my vote.


Crystal Manney Waterford,Michigan USA

Thank you again for a wonderful tour of Cape Town, we had a blast. I don't want to go home, I just love South Africa.

    positive review  Brandon Platt and his wife, Lynne, treated us like family during our 2 day tour around Cape Town in May 2023. He and his wife took us to every “must see” site, special out of the way areas, shopping at the waterfront, and happily accommodated every photo stop. CT is their home so they could explain in detail, the political, social & economic history and present conditions of the city. They are helpful, very cordial and want each traveler to have a great experience. I highly recommend Brandon and Lynne Platt.

    positive review  We had one day with Brandon, it was totally fantastic, wonderful coastal drive to Cape Point, stopping for breakfast on the way, lunch after. Both places were unique, used by locals and utterly delicious. Brandon’s knowledge of the area is outstanding and his attention to detail and timing is perfect. We also managed a swim in the sea and a wine tasting at Groot Constantia which is the most beautiful place and the oldest vineyard in the Cape. On the way back to where we were staying we even managed a coffee at the great Truthe coffee house, and bought cakes for our hosts which were truly amazing. Thank you Brandon for showing us this wonderful area and looking after us so well.

    positive review  We have just spent two days in Cape Town being shown around by Brandon. His knowledge and expertise is second to none. We visited the Winelands and surrounding areas. He took us to novelty shops and places of interest. We also spent a second day going along the Cape Peninsula route visiting Boulders Beach, Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, Camps Bay, Green Market Square and other stops along the way. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and now have an understanding of the history of the area. If you are looking for a Tour Guide to give you 1:1 attention, Brandon is the man.

    positive review  We had a wonderful day out with Lynne in December, she encouraged us to start our day early so that we could beat the crowds in the Cape and it was so worth the early start. Lynne was super knowledgeable on the area and had a superb recommendation for fish and chips at lunch time. Lynne also picked us up from the airport when we arrived in Cape Town and gave us lots of tips and recommendations on places to visit during our stay, including a de-tour on the way to our hotel so that she could show us a few places - definitely going above and beyond what we expected. Lynne and Brandon also drove us to Stellenbosch and again gave us recommendations of places to visit. They also helped us to plan the second part of our trip along the garden route and were on hand via WhatsApp when we reached out with a question a few days after we said bye. They were both always on time and it was a pleasure to spend our time with Lynne & Brandon
