Pete and Victoria are father and daughter, and business partners, at Golvino Tours, a golf and wine touring company built on flexibility and curated, personal experiences.
In this episode we talk about their inaugural tour hosting an Egyptian delegation across the Peninsula, Robben Island, Table Mountain and the Winelands, why Pete believes South African tourism defaults too easily to cookie-cutter itineraries, and the ”colour brain” communication system Pete brought over from thirty years in the oil and gas industry to help him and Victoria work together without the family friction.
Victoria also shares what she learned while finishing her tour guide training, from group projects to building a network of guides across South Africa.
A conversation about family, systems, and building something unforgettable in an industry that often settles for average.
