Guest Review of Train package holiday

"To find firstly that our seats were the best seats on the plane, then discovering we were also in the priority group to board, we then endeavoured to relax and enjoy the trip to Cape Town. Flight was excellent, arrived on time to a lovely gusty ‘normal’ CT windy day.

Then to discover our name in LARGE letters which we could not miss, the EZ shuttle driver was there to greet us in style. Ushered to his vehicle, suitcases loaded in the boot, both rear doors opened for us, and we were on our way. The EZ shuttle vehicle service was top notch, the driver was excellent, and the vehicle was more than spotlessly clean throughout. Casual conversation was made, and the journey was without issues and we arrived at the Apartment, delivered timeously."

"Friday a beautiful non windy day was spent visiting the V and A waterfront, which allowed us to have our long walk, good food, and spectator and ship gazing. A busy exhausting day, ended with dinner at the restaurant again, and to bed we went."

"Saturday morning we were up early of course, again excited for the train trip. We were duly shown our coach No 14, and what a pleasure to experience the quality of the seating, the drinks and food. How to explain the train trip adequately is difficult. The scenery, the climb out the mountain, and trying to record all we could was just magnificent. The train trip was magical. Arriving in Elgin was beautiful, experiencing the train station, the vibe, the food and venue was amazing, and worth every cent. An experience we will not forget and will treasure in our memory bank forever. Our trip back to CT was beautiful, and coming down the mountain an extra memory added seeing Table Mountain and Cape Town before us. As the train stopped it was an end to a wonderful day, and a treasured memory."

"Up early to meet the EZ shuttle driver, on time, again with the vehicle in spotless condition, and the trip to the airport excellently done. Our trip on the plane back to the Lowveld again was with the same priority service and seats, landing safely. We were home again, with wonderful memories stored away."

"Thank you for the excellent service arrangements all round. you can compliment yourself and all concerned, a job well executed.
Kind regards

Oskar and Salome"

Our guests run a delightful business called "Country Flowers"; and needless to say, after receiving the review, they are the only floral decorators we will use for weddings and events in White River, Kruger Park & Hazyview
