Interesting & nice day in PE
I had a great morning with our guide John, truth Port Elizabeth. I got picked up at my Guesthouse & afterwards we started at the port and went into the city walking and sometimes driving and saw a lot of history. We had a good lunch in a beer brewery & after that, I went with an other guide to the Walmer Township. I saw there a lot of nice creativ projects from the people there & get a look into there lifestyle. Was a cool day!

Fantastic from start to finish
Fantastic tour made special by both of the Guides. Very informative, interesting given plenty of time to take photographs and ask questions. Superb lunch at Bridge Street Brewery with some delicious craft beers to taste. Township tour was so insightful and got to meet some inspirational people living in the community there.

Walking in Madiba's footsteps (Tour of Route 67)
The guide was energetic and knowledgeable while professional. The tour was really fun. Things that can be improved: 1. The communication around some aspects of the tour wasn't clear. It should be indicated prior to the start time what time you can expect pick up from your hotel. It just says it happens prior to the tour starting, that's rather vague and leaves you in doubt about when to be ready. A contact number for enquiries on the day would be useful. I called the number on trip advisor all morning to try and confirm my pick up time but nobody answered. The guide did arrive on time and we started on time but I'd have appreciated not being uncertain leading up to that... So a quick sms the day before confirming the details and pick up time would suffice. The tour is also rather physically demanding. Its a park and walk type tour. This should be indicated so people can dress appropriately and at least be prepared. You aren't forced to do anything beyond your capabilities so it's not like you can't enjoy or participate but I got the most out of the tour by engaging in all the stair climbing and uphill walking along Route 67. It's an awesome experience but people should be informed accordingly especially for those who may prefer minimal physical activity.

Our visit to SA
We have visited Port between 14 to 15 the August.2019.Before arriving PE we have visited Kruger National Park and Suncity.The tour was organised by SOTC.Our Hotel Raddisson Blu was very good and all the rooms were sea facing.Since it was full moon night and we saw full moon from our Hotel Room balcony.Also it was very windy and we saw Dolphins from our Hotel Room. However SOTC charged 1800ZAR per person for whale watching by boat.Which we checked from the net should not be more than 450ZAR per person.Even after paying such high rate we could not see whales and saw only the Dolphins.Next day we went to Congo caves in the Garden Route which was a Marvellous site of LS deposits inside caves and was told to 2 million years old. Also we visited the site of Bungee jump from the famous bridge (name forgotten). Overall our 2 days stay at PE was very good.From PE we went to Cape Town via Garden Route.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ultimate Port Elizabeth Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Elizabeth.
How much does Ultimate Port Elizabeth Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $144 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Elizabeth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ultimate Port Elizabeth Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Elizabeth is not rushed.
Is Ultimate Port Elizabeth Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Elizabeth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ultimate Port Elizabeth Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ultimate Port Elizabeth Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ultimate Port Elizabeth Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Elizabeth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Elizabeth and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ultimate Port Elizabeth Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Elizabeth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Elizabeth?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Elizabeth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale, Dolphin & Penguin Island Cruise, Addo Elephant Full Day Safari with a Traditional South African Braai (BBQ) Lunch, Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Full-Day Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Elizabeth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Elizabeth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
