Reviews for Cape Sidecar Adventures

From the moment we met Vee, we felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. She welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that we instantly felt at ease. Her energy is unmatched—genuine, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. Vee didn’t just give us a tour—she gave us a journey. She navigated the roads of Cape Town with skill and confidence, all while sharing amazing stories, fascinating history, and little-known facts that brought each stop to life. Her passion for the city is contagious, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. We learned so much while laughing and soaking in the views from the sidecar—it was truly the best of both worlds. What made this experience stand out even more was how Vee treated us—not like clients, but like family. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, engaged, and having the best time possible. Every detail was thoughtful, and every moment felt special. We’ve done a lot on this trip, but riding with Vee was by far our favorite part. If you’re visiting Cape Town, don’t miss the chance to ride with Cape Side Car Adventure. And if you’re lucky enough to get Vee as your guide—get ready for an unforgettable day.

It was such a unique experience for us, a party of 10 friends. All of the divers are very kind and knowledgeable.

We were able to book quite quickly (although it took me writing to the Emergency number as the listed office number wasn’t bring picked up when I called multiple times). That said, once I reached them, the booking process was seamless. The ride was one of a kind! Such good fun. Thanks to Chris, Isak and Bill for their warmth, knowledge and entertaining stories. We would definitely recommend this tour! We did the Chapman’s Peak one.

Went on a full day tour of the peninsula with Mark, Lance, and Ebie. Could not have been a better experience!! Absolutely amazing views, but the sidecars and personable guides made the experience perfect. An absolute must do on your Cape Town visit!

An amazing company with amazing people! We were lucky enough to be taken out by Mark, Vee and Logan who were all so lovely and full of energy which made it an incredible experience. Their knowledge and personalities made the trip even better. The scenery is beyond beautiful and I would 10/10 recommend.

Excellent

Our 4-hour seaboard sidecar tour with Gazza was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we set off, it was evident that we were in for an unforgettable experience. The ride itself was incredibly smooth, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking scenery that unfolded before us. The views were absolutely spectacular—coastal vistas that seemed to stretch endlessly, each turn revealing another stunning perspective that left us in awe. What truly elevated the experience, however, was Gazza’s exceptional knowledge and passion for the region. His insightful commentary provided us with fascinating details and hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. His kindness and courtesy made us feel welcome and at ease throughout the journey, adding a personal touch that made the experience all the more special. Whether you’re a local looking to see your surroundings from a fresh perspective or a visitor eager to explore, this tour is an absolute must. It’s an adventure that belongs on everyone’s bucket list, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and memorable way to experience the beauty of the seaboard. Thank you, Gazza, for making it such an incredible journey—we’ll cherish these memories for years to come.

Words can't describe the incredible ride through Cape Town and the surrounding areas. Mark, my driver was a doll! Very capable and informative of points along the road. I felt safe and loved the fact that I was free to take photos of the incredible vistas and sites while we rode as opposed to bus or car tour. Chapman's Peak was especially cool to actually ride below the over hang and photograph it as we rode. Don't hesitate. Take the ride! It's well worth it!

Everything about this tour was just amazing. Gazza was there to welcome us and Tim the owner even came to say hi. The route we were taken on showed us the wonders of Cape Town. The mountain the forest and of course our beautiful ocean. Gazza was a wealth of knowledge and knew exactly where to stop so we could take the most amazing pictures. I have not smiled so bright for the long in a very very long time. Thank you for thinking this off my bucket list.

Cape Sidecar Adventures exceeded all our expectations and delivered a truly unforgettable experience. A special shoutout to our amazing driver, Vee, who made the trip even more memorable. Her passion, extensive knowledge about Cape Town, and warm personality added a unique charm to the journey. The vintage sidecars are stunningly maintained, and riding through Cape Town’s iconic landmarks with the wind in your hair is an experience like no other. Vee’s engaging stories and enthusiasm made us appreciate the city’s beauty and history even more. This is hands-down one of the best ways to explore Cape Town. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate - ask for Vee for an exceptional ride!

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Side Car Tours. An experience for all the family, young and old. Thank you Mark and Jason!

Did the route from the Waterfront to Chapmans. Great host (Manna), who highlighted so many things that we didn’t know or seen before. But definitely an outing well worth it. Great feeling the outdoor and beauty of the surroundings on the bike & sidecar

Thank you Vee, for such an amazing day! Wonderful trip, unforgettable experience, the best view ever! 10+

I am so glad I stumbled across a group of 50+ people riding sidecars. It was 2 days prior to leaving South Africa while here on vacation. I asked my tour guide, “What are they doing?” That’s when he informed me of Cape Sidecar. Without hesitation I quickly book this excursion for my last day in Cape Town and it did not disappoint. My driver, Manna, was simply amazing and very friendly. He took me along the Atlantic route, and I got to see amazing views of Camp Bay Beach, Table Mountain, Signal Hill and more. This was my first time riding a sidecar and I am so glad that I did. I will be sure to tell all my friends and family about this experience!

Our Driver was “Ebie” such a gracious friendly gentleman. We took the 4 hrs Trip and it was honestly beyond my expectations. The scenes we saw & the routes we took were beautiful! Especially the “Chapmaan’s Peak” route. Literally it was much a breathtaking picturesque view.

There is no better way to see/enjoy the coastal ride along Camps Bay and further north! Cape Sidecar Adventures was such a treat riding along with our guide, Vee, in an old WWII motorcycle and side car. Vee is so knowledgeable about the area/history, is very personable, and took the best photo of us on our whole trip! We would do it again and highly recommend you make time to see the coast this way!

An amazing time with Donald and his team as 5 of donned helmets and jackets then gotten on 3 motorcycle with sidecars for adventure down Chapman’s Peak. A great way to enjoy the spectacular beautify of the coastline from Cape Town to Clifton to Camos Bay to Hout Bay and Chapman’s Peak.

Can’t rate this experience highly enough! Ivan’s kindness and knowledge of the areas surrounding Cape Town made for an unforgettable experience! The joy of riding around in a sidecar is unparalleled, and the organisation was so welcoming and friendly! The experience was recommended completely by chance, and I’ll be recommending this to everyone I meet!!

Great way to discover the cape, its wildlife, history and climate. Ivan was very helpful and knowledgeable.

What an exhilarating, exciting and truly memorable trip we had around the Paarl Winelands and other attractions there, in a sidecar. Our driver, Ivan, made us feel comfortable and safe at all times making this experience totally amazing. Looking forward to our next trip. John & Val Thorp

I booked a two hour tour and wasn’t sure what to expect. Mark, by guide and driver recommended the drive to Chapmans peak. It was a little cloudy and cool, but I was provided with a leather jacket, gloves and blanket while in the side car that kept me dry. Even with the weather not being perfect, I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Highly recommend!

My gran and I had a fantastic time driving around the Cape’s best roads with Vee. Even though we’re both Capetonians and have driven these roads many times, it was awesome getting to see them on a motorbike. You see details you’ll never see in a car! Vee was a lovely guide and taught us lots of new things about the Cape. We always felt safe thanks to her careful driving.

The entire team is wonderful. Vee is an amazing rider and a very gentle soul. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip in the Drakensburg with the Adventure Tourism Conference 2024.

How often do you sit in the sidecar of a motorcycle!? A wonderfully original way to view the area while also getting the thrill of riding a motorcycle. I can recommend it to everyone!

Riding a vintage sidecar through the scenic mountain roads was an unforgettable experience. The combination of the open air, the winding paths, and the timeless charm of the machine created a unique sense of nostalgia and connection to the past. It's a feeling that's hard to describe, but it's definitely something I'll never forget. A huge thanks to Vee for making my ride extra special with her charismatic and bubbly personality.
