Hey, our tour with Greg was exceptional. Comfortable, calm and relaxing. Greg has extensive knowledge in photography, design composition, and camera equipment. He will listen to your needs, go at your pace and offer suggestions as needed.

I had a fantastic evening exploring and photographing the V&A Waterfront with Greg. I initially contacted him through WhatsApp, and he was incredibly responsive, answering my questions quickly and making everything easy to arrange. Communication was just as good on the day of the photowalk. Greg is very laid back and personable, which made the whole experience feel more like walking around with a fellow photographer than being on a formal tour. He had lots of great ideas for unique compositions and knew where to look for interesting perspectives and photo opportunities that I probably would have walked right past on my own. We spent the evening walking, talking photography, experimenting with different compositions, and capturing some great images as the light changed around the waterfront. It was a fun, relaxed, and creative way to experience the V&A. I’d definitely recommend Greg to anyone visiting Cape Town who wants to spend an evening exploring the waterfront with a knowledgeable photographer and come away with some images that are a little different from the usual tourist shots.

I joined a photography walk in Cape Town with Greg and ended up doing both a morning and an evening walk. It was just the two of us, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It felt relaxed and personal, and we were able to move at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed. Greg was knowledgeable and approachable, and he shared helpful tips along the way without making it feel technical or overwhelming. What I appreciated most was how he encouraged me to slow down and really observe my surroundings. It changed how I approached taking photos and how I experienced the city. He also shared a selection of photos after the walk, which was a thoughtful touch and something I’ll keep. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and a great way to see Cape Town from a different perspective.

Greg took me around Cape Town for a whole day trip from Signal Hill, colourful Bo-Kaap to Boulders Beach with cute penguins... It was a very enjoyable day with chances to take beautiful photographs from the places he had shown me, at the same time getting to know Cape Town. Greg is friendly, pleasant, knowledgable and very accommodating. It is a excellent combination of able to see Cape Town with photography opportunities. I would highly recommending it for a marvellous experience. Tq Greg.

On July 14, 2025, a friend and I took a 9-hour photo tour of Cape Town with Greg Hillyard. We started early and photographed sunrise from Signal Hill. Then, we visited Kirstenbosch Gardens where we photographed lots of protea flowers, cycads, and birds such as the elusive Southern double-collared sunbird, and the Cape sugarbird. We stopped for a light breakfast at Olympia Cafe in Kalk Bay. We photographed a colony of African Penguins at Boulders. Then, to experience South African cuisine, we had a lunch that included springbok at the Foodbarn at the Noordhoek farm village. Finally, we returned back to Cape Town via a Chapmans Peak drive along the coast. Greg also provided tips about manual settings on my Canon camera. The tour was a delight for both the eyes and palate. We highly recommend a photo tour with Greg Hillyard (you also get a foodie tour).
