“We had an exceptional day with Dominic in October 2025. From a beautiful early stroll through historic Franschhoek to a hidden gem of a bakery, every detail was thoughtfully curated. He perfectly balanced our Australian guests’ love of red wine and food with our interest in art, creating a fresh and memorable itinerary despite our many prior visits. We’re already booked for another day with him in 2026!”
“Thank you Dom, for the 'extra ordinary' experiences you give to African Destinations clients! We calculated, that in 2025, you spent over 50 days with our clients and every one of those clients made an effort to communicate back to us, with excellent feedback, of the time spent with you and your team.”
“I had the pleasure of touring Franschhoek with Dominic from Art Trip Tours, and it was truly unforgettable. His deep knowledge of the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden brought the artworks to life, and his access to hidden, off-the-beaten-path wine farms made for a uniquely authentic experience. Passionate, insightful, and personal, Dominic delivers a bespoke journey through the art, wine, and culture of this beautiful region. Highly recommended!”
"This has to be one of my most memorable experiences from the holiday. Dominic Dear is an absolute master at what he does. His planning and communication beforehand was impeccable, but what impressed me the most was his flexibility on the day. He could read the group immediately and gave us the best suggestions and was able to curate the most incredible day for us. He is incredibly well connected and could take us into places we would never had access to by ourselves. Being a local certainly works to his favour! His vehicle was impeccably clean."
"Franschhoek is amazing but I don’t think it would’ve been as fulfilling as it was, if not for our tour with Karen! I can’t believe after all our planning and research we would have never gotten a chance to visit, taste, or experience the places on this tours list. Something that could have only been curated by a local!"
"It was a wonderful day. From the sculpture to champagne to lunch, wine and Nelson Mandela memorial. It was exactly what we wanted for our day out of Cape Town."
