       Twee hele mooie dagen gehad met Jaco.
Alles werd geregeld, van fiets tot aan sportrepen.👌
Een deel van de routes van Stellenbosch en omgeving ontdekt, en ook nog wat stukken van de cape epic meegepakt. 😎
Hele leuke ervaring, echt een aanrader! 🇿🇦

      Jaco was a pleasant and awesome guide to have on a trip through Stellenbosch! He made it feel more like a day trip with a good friend and had great recommendations for places to stop along the journey. From thinking about the perfect breakfast spot to begin the journey to having a flexible itinerary and passing through interesting towns and pointing out landmarks, he made us feel like we got a full experience!

Jaco was also accommodating, rearranging other things during his week to fit us in. I look forward to visiting South Africa again one day so I can see more with Jaco!

      Had an absolute blast on a 3-day biking escapade with Jaco.  Jaco’s intuitive understanding of my skill level, despite never having met me before, ensured the perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment.  Top-notch experience!
