On a typical Spring day in September 2008, Pieter G was showing off the majesty of Chapman’s Peak to some visiting friends (a Peruvian, a couple of Germans, a Swede and the token bloke from Bismarck North Dakota). As they marvelled at the awesomeness of Hout Bay Harbour, something clicked in the mind for PG, and an idea slowly started germinating.
3 months later, PG TOPS TRAVEL AND TOURS went on tour for the first time, with two faintly articulated but ultimately powerful philosophies:
1. Welcome to my life. South Africa is awesome, and Cape Town is the most awesome part of it. Let PG show you why EVERYONE wants to live here.
2. YES what’s the QUESTION?
Almost three years down the line, PG still runs most of the tours himself, and he has been joined by an awesome team of young and dynamic travel professionals who look after clients in their own unique and engaging way.
Pieter G has traveled 52 countries and counting, and can therefore claim with authority: Cape Town is the business. Let him and his team show you the majesty of a Lions Head sunrise hike, catch a glimpse of the phantom ship the Flying Dutchman off Cape Point, go face off with a giant white shark or just sniff and grunt appreciatively over a Middelvlei Pinotage in front of a roaring fireplace.
The magic of Cape Town is in the hospitality of its varied inhabitants, coupled with its modern efficient infrastructure, smorgasbord of activities, and let’s not forget the food. Ah, the food…
A samoosa from the Bo-Kaap. A crocodile Kebab from Mama Africa. The cajun Calamari rings at Harbour House, the boerebraai at Middelvlei or the cheese platter at Seidelberg.
Sigh. Welcome to my life…

Tours. Transfers. Activities. Advice. YES WHAT’S THE QUESTION?
