We had such a lovely tour with Joline. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but what made the experience especially memorable was the way she brought history to life through the human stories of the people who lived it. Her storytelling made the history feel vivid and deeply meaningful. While traveling in South Africa, we found that much of the history we were learning focused, understandably, on Apartheid, which is essential to understand. But Joline helped fill in the broader historical context we had been missing. That deeper perspective gave us a much richer understanding of South Africa as a whole, and also helped us better understand some of the roots and conditions that contributed to the rise of Apartheid. We came away feeling that we had learned so much, and we’re very grateful for the experience. Joline is a wonderful guide!

We're fortunate to have Joline as our guide. Her expertise gave us a masterclass on Cape Town's history, focusing on the arrival of the Dutch in 1652, and the turbulent years of slavery. We also explored key figures, shedding light on how these events and individuals shaped Cape Town into the city it is today. Highly recommend!
Our tour in Cape Town was terrific. Lesley was so warm and personable. We really appreciated her great knowledge and master of the history of South Africa. We would recommend Lesley and this tour to anyone that visits Cape Town.
