Steven

Senior Motorcycle Tourist Guide From Corporate "Suit," wheeling and dealing, to registered and travelling Tourist Guide! Shortly into my forties I walked into my boss's office and resigned... swopping my senior position with a Swiss Re-insurer for the unknown self-employment as a registered Freelance Tourist Guide.

What I know now is that after twenty-one years of leading English and German-speaking guests in and around South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini, Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe... either on Dual-Purpose Motorcycles, Harley Davidsons, Mini-Busses or a 4x4 SUV, is that I have had more than a lifetime of adventures with unforgettable memories!

Although I also lead Cultural and Safari Tours, my first love is to lead a tour on a motorcycle. Since the age of fourteen, I have ridden various Scramblers, Sports Bikes, Cruisers and Dual Purpose bikes. I presently own and ride a KTM 990 Adventure.

Cole

Tour Guide I am a young and enthusiastic Tourist Guide born in Cape Town South Africa. Although I am partial to the city, I do have a great love for the outdoors especially the Klein Karoo and its indigenous cultural heritage. I have a passion for history, food, storytelling, and conveying the many complexities that make the Cape Region and South Africa such a vibrant and breath taking place.

Fatima

Tour Guide What started out a hobby about 15 years ago, became my passion in life. I started hiking with my children, then with friends and eventually joined formal hiking clubs. In October 2018 I decided to turn my passion into my career. After completing my qualifications and registration, I left the corporate world to become a full-time Mountain Guide.

Rene

Tour Guide My name is Rene'. Born and raised in beautiful Cape Town South Africa. I have been working as a professional tour guide since 2010, and absolutely love showing my valued guest the beauty of my country. Touring with me means "we meet as strangers, and part as friends".

Max

Tour Guide Hi, my name is Max. Born in Germany, bred in South Africa. I've been guiding for almost 4 years now, have traveled to all 4 corners of Southern Africa (and some of the world), and just love what I do! I always say I haven't worked a day in my life because my job isn't to work for me, it's a lifestyle.

Pisco

Tour Guide Alexandre Maurer was born in Sao Paulo... Graduated in Radio/Television and Journalism, he arrived in Cape Town paradise in 2003. The two Brazilians fell in love with the city, culture, people, landscapes, quality of life, and ended up staying in South Africa.

The Philosophy: "I know that I know nothing", so I try to learn more and more each and every day. I feed on brains and I want yours just as an appetizer :)

The Motto: Come with me and I'll explain everything on the way!

Ernest Julius
