About
I offer bespoke tours, tailor made tours to suit the clients needs. I go the extra-mile and will happily assist you with your needs, including accommodation.
I am passionate about people and travel. An ambassador for my country, keeping the SA flag flying high. I enjoy spontaneity but at the same time I do like structure to a certain degree. Based in the Atlantic Seaboard and having explored the regions for many years I have come to discover hidden gems hence the name Handpicked 😉 ✨️. It has been a honor and privilege to be a Tour Guide. In most cases i enjoy hosting and meeting people from all over the world. I’ve travelled many countries in my own country-its been fabulously fun!
Cape Town is fondly known as the Mother City. It’s the oldest city in South Africa and also one of the most culturally diverse cities in South Africa. It is considered to be a gateway to Africa. It’s beautiful and always bustling! It really is unique and exciting, there’s a mix of first and third world cultures.
Be warned- the fond name, Mother City..takes 9 months. So take it slow and be patient.
It is also a stepping stone to visit the Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga or to visit Botswana’s Okavango Delta or the Serengeti in Tanzania, for your Safari in Africa.
The Mother City is known for its amazing range of restaurants, from food trucks to small coffee shops and of course world-class fine dining restaurants in Cape Town. The list will blow you away. It is a gastronomic affair for sure,no matter the occasion!

Frances was a most extraordinary guide during our Christmas full day tour Cape Tour. She was so caring, warm, thoughtful and meticulous. Frances provided amazing commentary and history throughout the day. She took us through the most scenic routes to get us from each destination to the next. We absolutely loved exploring the Boulders Penguin Colony, Cape of Good Hope, and Cape Point together. She found us a delicious lunch spot in Scarborough. Our drive through Chapman’s Peak was extraordinary. We recommend Frances with the highest level of enthusiasm. Our time with her was a real highlight of our time in South Africa!
