The Tour Guide was knowledgeable, accommodating, and timely.
5/5

My tour was Cape Town only. The service was impeccable, the restaurants selected were "top of the line" and each wine tour that we went on were very memorable experiences. I enjoyed myself so much, I have plans to return to Cape Town with Go Touch Down Travel & Tours. It my understanding that there are over 500 winery in that region, I need to go back to do some more tasting. The best thing about the whole trip was the maximum number on the tour was 6 people. I highly recommend this trip.

Great 7 day Safari Tour in South Africa
5/5

My wife and I had a great week in South Africa with Go Touchdown Travel and Tours on their 7 Day Safari Tour staying at Dullstroom, Humala River Lodge and Seasons Sport and Spa. We saw animals in the wild on our multiple game drives, visited villages, went sightseeing, saw native shows, ate interesting and great food and generally relaxed all the while. We patted and fed an elephant at Elephant Whispers and nursed lion kittens at The Lion and Safari Park. Excellent coordination meant everything ran smoothly and we were well looked after at every point by human dynamo Bakkies and local guides. Even the “traffic jams” were enjoyable being caused by elephants and baboons. We highly recommend this tour.

Excellent choice for my group tour for a South African Safari
5/5

Go Touch Down went over and above my expectations! I organize group tours in the US and we interviewed several organizations before choosing Go Touch Down as our South African Safari tour partner. They handled everything in the same manner I would for my tours in the US. My group of 14 was informed, entertained and cared for during our time in South Africa. We stayed in the best accommodations and the food was amazing. I will continue to work with Go Touch Down for all of my African Safari groups and any other area in the world we can colaborate together and take people to exotic destinations! Thank you Go Touch Down for being a business I can trust with my hosted group tours!

wonderful tour and very well done
5/5

We very much enjoyed our tour experience with Go Touch Down. Very well done. The idea of small groups was excellent. The accommodations and the various meals at local restaurants was also very good. It was so nice to order directly from a menu and the dinning at the various wineries was fabulous. We really tours to other parts of South Africa. Over all we feel the company did a fabulous job conducting the tour. I have recommended the company to others I have had conversations with. We really enjoyed meeting the company owner as well as the other persons working for the company. Our tour guides were very good particularly "Buckies".

Go "Worry Free" with GTD (Go Touch Down)!
5/5

For an "Adventure of a Lifetime" Don't Think Twice. Book it!  I love to make my own travel plans, but in places where they drive on the opposite side of the road & limited wi-fi, why not go worry free.  From the time we met Angie at the travel show with her enthusiasm & pictures (that really were accurate photo's of our adventures), to the phone conversations with Dana's knowledge, organization & fun planning our signature tour, and than the excellent helpful African guides like James, Bill & Fredrick, I say, think about the time of year you want to go for your best experience and than "just book it"!

Some tips that I think might be helpful:  Wifi is available at several places,but usually it's by the resort lobbies or restaurants.Print or take pictures of the vouchers & itinerary  found on the web site before you go. Enjoyed the small 5-6 group size. Much easier for the guide to accommodate everyone and would have been impossible on a big bus tour.  Consider going a few days early with the signature tour for the cultural excursions. Lessedi, Mandala day in Joburg, Cradle of Mankind, interaction with the elephants (we even fed & got a kissed from an elephant). All of these were so worth the extra time & money. 

Prepare for a wonderful culinary experience. The meals are 4 to 5 star. A great time to try the ostrich & other African dishes.  We loved the true dirt road safari experience at Humala vs the commercialism of Kruger. Over exceeded our expectations for the animal & nature lover that I am. In October we were able to see several babies. For city lovers, you will love how they were able to pack so many adventures into the few days in Cape Town. The wait to get up to Table Mt was well worth it, Penguins, Seal Island, Wharf area, wineries & more. Consider the add on Vic Falls adventure. Not just for the falls but waking up to zebras outside your resort window, seeing herds of wild elephants, & interacting with the people from Zambia & Zimbabwe. We liked the low water season of the falls vs high water that you need to wear rain gear. The guides & resort staff helped us contact the African GTD contacts to answer any questions we had while in Africa,   THANKS GTD for the memories & pictures of a lifetime".

Beyond expectations
5/5

The service we received from the time we signed up with Go Touch Down was excellent The customer service was impeccable. Everyone was so helpful in the planning and booking of our trip.

The accommodations, tours and safari drives were everything we could ask for and more. Our guides were extraordinary -- knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly, going above and beyond on many occasions. The food was excellent.

We were a bit hesitant when Pilanesberg National Park replaced Kruger Park but it was an incredible place. We opted to take the drive in the open air vehicle rather than the van. I would suggest this to anyone. We were very fortunate to see some pretty amazing sites. The restaurant within the park that we stopped at for lunch was excellent and I would highly recommend the ostrich burger. The restaurant overlooked a watering hole and we viewed giraffe and hippos there as we ate lunch.

Go Touch Down found us the Pangolin Lodge in Botswana to extend our vacation for an additional few days. Everything about it was incredible – from the lodge décor, the rooms, the grounds and food to the photography safaris -- both on the river and in the Chobe park. They provided professional photo equipment and instruction.

This was definitely the vacation of a lifetime and we certainly hope to return one day. Thank you to everyone at Go Touch Down for making our trip so amazing.

Excellent service, great accommodation.
5/5

Everything was great about this experience, communication leading up to the tour was good, any queries I had were answered quickly. As soon as we were picked up at the airport we were wanting for nothing, our guide Bakkies was friendly, funny and informative.
The safari was great, we had quite a few morning and evening safaris and they lived up to our expectations. The accomodation and food in each of the places we stayed at was exceptional, as was the service.
Thanks Go Touchdown Travel for helping us achieve one of our dream holidays.

Thanks to Go Touch Down A Beautiful Gem between the mountain and the ocean is MY Paradise
5/5

What can you say about Paradise?!? You will know it when you TOUCH your Paradise--just as I did on my recent first trip to Cape Town, South Africa. There are not words enough to describe the beauty, the setting, the wine vineyards with elegant wine tastings; Table Mountain high over the city with "a blanket atop it" and the ocean with a visit to "The Cape of Good Hope"; shopping; museums; and everything else to do with direct pickup from your large, comfortable hotel room in the mornings for breakfast and drop off and pick up for elegant dinners on the waterfront and elsewhere in the evenings. I can hardly wait to go back as I begin to plan my next trip with Go Touch Down Travel & Tours who made my first "no hassle" trip there from beginning to end one that I will never forget in MY Paradise.

Excellent service from Go Touch Down Tours
5/5

We went to a presentation given by Go Touch Down Tours on traveling to South Africa. This covered Tours in Cape Town and Johannesburg, including daily safaris.
On our way I told my wife I wasn’t so sure about a trip to Africa.
The presentation was so inspiring that half way though I leaned to my wife and said we should go.
We decided to take advantage of their offers and we booked both Cape Town and Johannesburg.
I can honestly say that the presentation was great but everyone, from the office to the guides, went way beyond to make this the most enjoyable and memorable experience anyone could have.
5 stars all the way!
We are still in contact with our guides, ( now very good friends) and some of the people we were on tour with.

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

It was an experience I will never forget. Humala Lodge was a big highlight. It was so serene, so spiritual, so intimate, and the safaris were amazing. Cape Town was a blast. Joseph, our driver in Johannesburg went way above and beyond the call of duty. Tony in Cape Town was great. They couldn’t do enough for us. The whole tour was fabulous. The animals were center stage. Call Lucia Barnard at 941-212-0924 and tell her Paulette sent you. You won’t be sorry
