This is the second vacation in a row that my wife and I have relied on Hermanus Shuttle Service for our transportation needs. If you appreciate efficient, professional and courteous service, then look no further. Whether we required a ride to the airport or an all out sightseeing adventure, Hermanus Shuttle Service had us covered! Brandon and Cally made booking quick and easy. The experienced and knowledgeable drivers (Leon, Lourens, and Simphiwe) made us feel comfortable and safe on the road. Our drivers were always punctual, personable, and accommodating. The success of our vacations is due in no smaller part to their recommendations and superior service! If we could rate them more than 5 stars we would.

Leon Philander is an extremely careful and smooth driver, and our car was new and comfortable. Leon is polite, quietly spoken, efficient and helpful. He was 100% on time and reliable. Our 2 trips with him were stress free. If you are looking for a shuttle service this is the one to choose.

Wine tour in Hemel-and-Aarde Valley!

What a great day our group had with our driver, John Peter - nothing was too much effort and we could enjoy the lovely wines and have lunch, without having to drive ourselves.
Thanks so much - your service is 100% recommended
