The Travel Café Cape Town Reviews 

Thank you to this wonderful company that got me and my family to enjoy a Christmas we will remember forever!

JD, Francois & The Travel Cafe are brilliant. Everything from the start of our trip to the finish has been wonderful & taken care of. Personally, this has been the best experience with any travel agents/trip-planners (and I have dealt with many). They take away all your sorrows and we got to see so much more than when we would have booked by ourselves. They made us feel at ease and maximized our enjoyment of the trip.

All in all, fantastic.

The Travel Cafe is exactly what any traveller wants (and needs)! Personal, swift, full of hidden gems, and tailored to your wishes and budget! They will share all their secrets with you, to ensure you get the best out of your holiday. Be prepared to be amazed from start to finish. JD, Francois and their team will continue to exceed your expectations in every single way! ✨

We admire the passion you have put into every single part of our holiday! It was the perfect escape from our daily life back home. Thank you all a million and hope to see you again soon!

Planning a successful vacation to SA may seem tremendously challenging. Thanks to Francois & JD's knowledge and expertise, they quickly accomodated our exact needs (history, food, adventure) within budget, resulting into our top rated holiday yet.

Their system makes travelling simple, safe and so so sweet...from beginning to post end!

Their service online and on site was truly way beyond our expectations from handling our flight check-ins, last minute restaurant cancellations and bookings, following up on our transfers, activities and accommodations, up to date weather forecasts :) and always ensuring our experiences remained perfect at all time with their positive and friendly approach.

As Canadians, travels to SA is a special life adventure and their guidance made the experience a priceless one.

Our memories from every encounter, location and relationship ties will remain in our hearts and we certainly, without a doubt, look forward to future SA experiences with Travel Cafe's genuine 5+ Star travel service!

Merci infiniment!!!

Met JD and Francois in Timbavati private game reserve, during our holiday in South-Africa. During one of the game drive they told us they have their own travel agency called 'The Travel Cafe Cape Town'. They asked if we wanted some tips for the rest of our travels. So we said: 'sure!'.

From there on they helped us out so much. From activities to restaurant tips (they even made reservations for us, so we could get the best table available), got us a wonderfull route through the peninsula of Cape Town and tipped us an excellent paragliding pilot to cross that of our bucketlist.

Also met them again in cape town for some drinks. It was great spending some time with them again!

They brought so many extra to our holiday and made it something special.

If you considering travelling to Africa, contact them! I'm sure it will be a holiday like no other.

Thanks a whole lot for a lovely experience! Nothing but perfect service from start to end. Will surely use them again.

Where to start.... Wow
Our first trip to South Africa beautifully arranged and crafted by JD and Francois using their considerable experience and expertise.

6 stunning and unique destinations in 3 perfect weeks, travelling the garden route in all its glory. Travel cafe Cape town perfectly tailored all our likes into a trip of a lifetime, and many new experiences that we loved too. Their love of their home town shows in every single detail making us love it too.

From exciting adrenaline rushes to peaceful sunsets and everywhere in between. We loved every minute. Their recommendations for restaurants, bars and shops were totally perfect for us. All tastes catered for in a new and exciting ways. Experiencing the history and culture first hand is a memory we will treasure always.

Cape Town is an incredible place. JD and Francois have showed us just how incredible.

Thank you so much. You Rock x

My wife and I had a fantastic 3 weeks in South Africa thanks to the wonderful itinerary especially tailored for us by JD and Francois, it was just PERFECT. We have been to South Africa before but this trip was so much better due to the detailed preplanning, every item taken care for us in advance.
Travel Cafe gave us first class treatment and ensured we had the same for all our trip, they could not have done any more.
What a beautiful country and thanks to Travel Cafe we got to visit great venues.
PERFECT in every way, thanks JD and Francois for making our trip a truly memorable Adventure.
See you again

Francois and JD are true hosts for your travels in SA. They have made a great itinerary for us, completely tailored to our style and wishes. From the very beginning all felt truly professional and personal at the same time. they listen very careful and present a great proposal, the timing was perfect, the places we went to were amazing and really everything is being taken care of. Also during our trip Francois and JD kept an eye on us, were always available for questions, additional reservations or tips. truly amazing service!
We would certainly recommend their services, and whenever we go back to (South) Africa, we certainly call out to them first!

François and JD organised an amazing trip in South Africa for myself and a friend of mine. They are a customer focused approach agency, as before planning any kind of trip they listen to travellers and look for what their needs are. they plan a trip that can be amended until their client isn’t fully happy with it. Once the trip is agreed through calls or emails, François and JD will share it on a fantastic APP from where anything can be found: from the itinerary, to contacts, up to vouchers of events/experiences or reservations made. Everything is well organised and I strongly suggest contacting The Travel Cafe Cape Town if you are planning to visit any part of South Africa or if you fancy visiting Namibia, Botswana, Victoria Falls, Mozambique and Tanzania. Francois and JD are always there for you if you need help or any suggestions. They are competent in what they do, and I strongly suggest hanging out with them if you go to Cape Town, as you will spend an AMAZING evening with their company.
Huge thank you for one of the best holidays I have had in my life.

What else to say rather than a HUGE thank you for your great work, guys you have been amazing not only regarding the planning of every single things we did in South Africa, but also to have been every single time we needed there for us. You made us feel sicure in each excursions, trips we took. always available to give us new tips, directions and suggestions to make this trip unforgettable, you helped us to make it like that. You said you were kind of "young" in this business, i say you are more than qualify to take your business further.
If you ever plan to take a trip in South Africa calling The Travel Cage Cape Town is a MUST to call and ask them to organise your trip, you won't regret it!
Francois and JD thank you, you are in my heart as your lovely South Africa is.

We enjoyed a fantastical experience in Cape Town!!! We wanted to make different changes depending on the weather and Francois was always well disposed to our requirements, proposing new activities with a very well knowledge about them. Thanks a lot to Francois and the staff of The Travel Cafe Cape Town for designing our journey to Cape Town!!!

We had an absolutely unique and memorable experience in South Africa thanks to the care and passionate attention to detail the team at The Travel Cafe Cape Town delivered in the way they put our dream holiday together. They organised an outstanding itinerary ticking all our boxes and requirements, every thing booked perfectly but with the ability to optimise (i.e. change :-) our activities to suit the weather, our wishes or new requirements. They use a clever little App that guided and supported us during the 2.5 weeks of travel in their beautiful country but were on hand at any time to answer questions or help us with our needs. We could not wish for a better or more personal experience and would have no reservations in recommending their services to anyone who want to have the holiday of their life in South Africa!

We spent a week in CT and had an amazing time!! Thanks to Francois and JD for their hospitality and extensive knowledge of the area.It was really great that we just told them what we wanted do and they organised everything. We highly recommend them!!! Asher & Karl

My family and I have just come back from Cape Town where we spent 5 days organized by The Travel Cafe Cape Town. Francois and JD are true professionals and have taken care of all details of our break.Being a family of 4 with a child with a special needs, we felt reassured that our activities and sightseeing were appropriate and comfortable for everyone in the family. We generally like to avoid the heavy touristy areas but instead we prefer to fully experience the local culture and way of life. François and JD extensive knowledge of the area made our holiday ultra special recommending some true hidden gems...From Lions Head to Table Mountain to Boulders Beach to Cape Point, amazing food,great wine and most of all, buzzing energy and very friendly people. We had a fantastic time and every little detail of each day was taken care of. ..we will definitely go back to South Africa and highly recommend The Travel Cafe with no doubt! Thank you so much!

Just returned from a trip of a life time to Sa.
JD and the team made sure we got the most out of our trip from accommodation, sight seeing, entertainment and travel. From start to finish everything went smoothly and we thourouly enjoyed every minute and have so many memories and experiences. We even made the most of some of their recommendations in between our bespoke trip.
I can't thank you all enough for helping us to have a fabulous holiday. I am sure that I will be contacting you in the future for yet another first class service.

JD and Francois planned an amazing family holiday to South Africa for us. They managed to pack in a wide variety of things to see (wine lands, safari, city, coast) without the trip being too rushed. We were travelling with a toddler, which presented a challenge as not all hotels and guesthouses accept young children. The Travel Cafe embraced the challenge and found us some magical places to stay. They also worked with our budget, finding options to save in one location so that we could splurge on the safari. We enjoyed the planning process and were always kept informed and given options to choose from. The personalised itinerary they made us contained wonderful tips for days out, restaurants and places to stop on the journey. I thoroughly recommend their service to everyone!

Excellent service and great recommendations!!!

We went to Cape Town for our nephew's wedding The people from The Travel Cafe are really professional and took care of all the needs we had and they really made our trip awesome. Special mention to François who was always available to help us and clear all our questions even during week ends.

We had a dream holiday to South Africa in mind and the travel cafe excelled all of our expectations! Would highly recommend to anyone! Everything was so organised and made our trip really easy. The trips that we booked through JD and the team were so personal and intimate, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute! The accommodation we stayed at were all spectacular in there own ways and the recommendations for days and restaurants etc ensured that we got the most out of our time.
Will definitely ask these guys to plan our next trip!!
