I have had the good fortune to participate in many tours over the years. This South Africa tour was unquestionably the best tour in which I have ever participated. The itinerary, hotels and meals were all excellent. But our tour guide, Ron McGregor, put the tour "over the top". The combination of his impeccable attention to detail, encyclopedic knowledge of South Africa, humor and fabulous storytelling put him in the category of "the best tour guide I have ever had". It was no surprise to learn that his 50 years of experience made him the longest-serving tour guide on the African continent. He is a credit to himself and to SmarTours.
