"I was very impressed with Smile and would recommend to other schools."

"All the representatives from Smile and their team in Cape Town, were excellent. They were very professional, helpful, supportive and all-round good people. They ensured that the tour was fully inclusive and immersive in South Africa culture, including daily information on the areas we visited and the history. Thank you for making it an excellent tour for our students."
