“If you're travelling as a family like us — three young kids and two elderly members — 4 C Sons Travelling is exactly who you want. Over four full days, Andre planned everything superbly and tailored the whole experience around our group. Knowing we had children, he suggested a safari and horse-riding in the vineyard, and flexibly adjusted the itinerary to add a cheetah encounter, a lion park and a seal island cruise, all of which the kids absolutely loved. He was endlessly accommodating and helpful, always thinking about what would work best for both the little ones and the grandparents. We also did the Cape Peninsula loop, which really needs careful time management to fit everything in — and Andre handled the timing and logistics perfectly, so the day flowed without any rush or stress. Beyond the logistics, he shared a wealth of information about every site we visited, along with rich personal stories from his own life in South Africa. We were especially moved by his first-hand memories of witnessing the country's transformation — including seeing Nelson Mandela freed from prison — which brought the history to life in a way no guidebook ever could. On top of it all, he took care of our airport pick-up and drop-off, and from start to finish everything was completely at ease. Warmly recommended — thank you, Andre!”

A wonderful sparkling wine day with Andre

“A wonderful sparkling wine experience with Andre We had a fantastic day exploring the Cape Winelands with Andre from 3 C Sons Travelling, who was our private driver and guide for the day. Andre was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He was friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the area, the wineries and the local history. Having a private guide made such a difference — the day felt relaxed and completely tailored to us rather than being part of a large group tour. We visited some beautiful wineries and enjoyed some fantastic sparkling wines, but what really made the day special was Andre himself. He was incredibly accommodating, happy to adjust things along the way and genuinely wanted to make sure we were having a great experience. As our private driver, he also took all the worry out of the day. We could sit back, enjoy the spectacular scenery and indulge in the wine without having to think about navigating or driving. We highly recommend Andre and 3 C Sons Travelling. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly and flexible private guide to explore the Cape Winelands, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him. A fantastic day that we’ll remember for a long time!”

Highly Recommend!

“Andre brought our small group of three on a tour from Cape Town to Hermanus. He selected the route to optimize the experience for us and suggested a couple of stops that added to our enjoyment. He is knowledgeable about the country, its people, and its history.”

Terrific Vineyards Tour

“Me and my family had a really terrific day out visiting the wonderful vineyards. Andre was our guide - extremely knowledgable, thoughtful and very professional. The transport was ideal, and his small detours really added to the wonderful experience.”

“For the the casual visitor to Cape Town, who is interested in viewing a few select sites rather than rushing through the top 10, most popular spots in this charming, busting city, Andre Hoffman is the person to contact as a guide.

Andre is personable, has deeply-integrated relationships with the community and holds accumulated, advanced levels of government- licenses. His business, 4 C Sons Travelling, owned by himself and his wife, operates current-model, multi-passenger, upscale vans. His driving, on the wrong side of the road for American and most European tastes, is cautious, prudent and locally knowledgeable. He knows Cape Town inside out and top to bottom.

My wife and I hired his services for a day I expected to be about 6 hours, to ascend Table Mountain and then experience the South African penguins. Ten hours later, after an added respite at a delightful lunch spot he recommended, and an impromptu Mall shopping stop (where he walked us to a shop offering our target product), the day was perfect, from start to end.

Having Andre on our side made Cape Town just that much more special.

Choosing 4 C Sons Travelling was the absolute correct choice.”
