Our Story – Cape Town & Garden Route Private Tours
Cape Town is more than just a destination for us — it serves as a starting point for unforgettable journeys. Since Rawson Touring expanded into Cape Town, our vision has been clear: to provide deeply personal, expertly guided Cape Town private tours that highlight the very best of the Western and Eastern Cape at a relaxed, authentic pace.
Born from years of experience in delivering trusted tours across South Africa, Cape Town & Garden Route Private Tours was established as a dedicated Rawson Touring branch to cater to the growing demand for premium, customized travel experiences. Our guests seek more than mere sightseeing; they desire meaningful encounters, flexibility, comfort, and stories that resonate long after their journey concludes.
From the iconic beauty of Table Mountain and Cape Point to the wine valleys of Stellenbosch, the dramatic coastline of the Garden Route, and the wildlife-rich landscapes of the Eastern Cape, every itinerary is meticulously crafted and personally hosted. We specialize in private and small-group multi-day tours, allowing travelers to explore at their own pace while benefiting from the insights of knowledgeable local guides.
What truly distinguishes us is our people. As part of the Rawson Touring family, our Cape Town team is passionate, professional, and deeply connected to the regions we traverse. We share hidden gems, local stories, and cultural moments that transform a tour into a journey — whether it’s a quiet coastal town, a family-run vineyard, or a sunrise game drive in a malaria-free reserve.
At Cape Town & Garden Route Private Tours, we believe travel should be effortless, enriching, and personal. Supported by the reliability of Rawson Touring and driven by a love for South Africa’s landscapes and heritage, we invite you to travel not merely as a tourist but as a welcomed guest.
This is more than a tour. This is South Africa, experienced privately — the Rawson Touring way.
