Thank - you really enjoyed our photo tour. I've learned some new techniques and I've found some new, creative ways to look at my surroundings. Looking forward to going out again together!

My friend highly recommend Greg Hillyard to us as private tour guide, he didn't disappoint us.

Plus he is a great photographer and taugh me the photographer 101! We really enjoyed the two days tour with him and highly recommend, hopefully you will have good experience as us !!! Thank you, Greg! 

Nous avons passé une journée géniale avec Greg, il est venu nous chercher à notre hôtel au petit matin pour assister à un majestueux lever de soleil sur la baie  de Capetown, tous les amateurs de photos savent à quel point ce sont des instant difficiles à capturer mais avec les conseils de Greg nous fait de superbes photos, ensuite direction les meilleurs spots de là péninsules sans monde , pingouins

My partner and I spent 6 days in May 2022, with Greg Hillyard as our guide and driver.  Greg definitely helped us make the most of our time in the Cape Town area.  We found Greg to be very professional, highly personable and a good communicator before and during our trip.  He worked with us to create an itinerary to suit our interests.  

Greg is a very intelligent and knowledgeable guide who took us to a wide variety of locations at the best time of day to avoid crowds and capture photos in optimum light.  His local knowledge and insight led us to interesting places to eat, shop and explore which were off the beaten path. With an eye on the weather, Greg adjusted our itinerary as needed in order to maximize our sightseeing.  Whether it was intimate wineries, hidden beaches, scenic viewpoints, cool cafes, obscure history, unusual parks, street art or colorful neighborhoods, Greg presented us with so much to learn, enjoy and think about.  

We are confident that we saw and learned so much more with Greg as our guide than we could every possibly done on our own all the while honing our photographic skills.  We would highly recommend Greg who we found to be the utmost professional.

My wife and I just spent 5 wonderful days photographing greater Cape Town with Greg. We had originally considered renting a car and driving ourselves, but we are so glad we turned our trip over to Greg.

We are not professional photographers by any stretch, but we enjoy photographing our travels and Greg was the perfect guide. He knows where to go, what to shoot, how to shoot it and how to provide his guests the best opportunities to make the most of every location. Shooting vertically through an arch to bring the background in, finding reflections off otherwise inconsequential objects, focusing in on details that are otherwise overlooked, and waiting for a subject to do something interesting before taking a street scene are just a few of the off-hand suggestions Greg provided that turned otherwise average photos into something memorable. He also transformed my wife’s photo capabilities by helping her discover hidden capabilities of her iPhone.

From the V&A Wharf to Kirstenbosch Gardens, the wine country, penguins, the Cape of Good Hope, the Hermanus coastline, a Signal Hill sunrise and all points in between, Greg knows where to be when for the best photos. And from wine to gelato, he also knows all of the best and most affordable Cape Town-area eateries for snacks, lunch and dinner.

Finally, in addition to all of the above, Greg is a genuinely nice and thoughtful person who is very responsive to all inquiries and emails, willing to customize your time to your needs. A nice and enjoyable professional to spend time with, be it a few hours or a few days.
