Born and raised in the Western Cape, Gerhard van Eeden has spent a lifetime exploring every valley, vineyard, and viewpoint that make this region one of the world’s most captivating destinations.
A long-time Helderberg local, Gerhard’s deep roots and genuine passion for the Cape shine through in every tour he designs. After more than two decades in hospitality, and years as an active community figure in local sports and tourism, he founded Prestige Cape Tours to share the Cape’s lesser-known treasures with travellers seeking something truly personal.
For Gerhard, it’s never been about ticking off landmarks or following the crowds. His tours reflect a deep love for authenticity, the kind that comes from a lifetime of living here, not just visiting. Whether he’s introducing guests to hidden vineyards, quiet coastal roads, or world-class golf courses, Gerhard brings the warmth and insight of a true local host.
His goal is simple: to give every guest an experience that feels genuine, unforgettable, and uniquely their own.

We operate mainly outside of central Cape Town, exploring the Winelands, Elgin Valley, the Kogelberg Coast, Hermanus, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, the Whale Coast, the Overberg region, and the Garden Route. These regions offer stunning scenery, boutique wine estates, charming villages, and a relaxed, authentic local atmosphere.
That depends entirely on you. Some guests focus on wine and food experiences, visiting small family-owned vineyards and restaurants. Others prefer scenic drives, coastal viewpoints, art galleries, museums, or golf. We’ll plan your itinerary around what you enjoy most — no two tours are ever the same.
Absolutely. We’ll suggest routes and stops based on your interests, time, and travel style. Popular itineraries often include Elgin’s mountain vineyards, the rolling farmlands of the Overberg, the coastal routes toward Hermanus and the Whale Coast, the dramatic Kogelberg coastline along Clarens Drive, and even the scenic towns of the Garden Route — all far quieter and more personal than the typical Cape Town attractions.
