Awesome tour! Highly recommend! - The tour was very comprehensive. I booked this tour because I was traveling with my mother (an elderly woman) and my 3-year-old son. It was fantastic; we actually saw more places than we expected and had plenty of time to explore, shop, and even grab a bite to eat. The driver, Alfani, was also our guide and gave us lots of information about the places we visited. He even gave us suggestions for our time in Cape Town. He was very kind and helpful. Thank you so much, Alfani!

Great half day with super nice guide! - This was a lovely experience with Zaine, who is a fantastic guide! He picked me up at my hotel, even though it is off the beaten path, which was really helpful and convenient. In addition to “just” penguins and table mountain, he showed me a lot of other great spots like Surfer’s Corner, Kalk Bay, Chapman’s Drive, Long Beach, Camp’s Bay and more.
I had had a very long week and was very tired, but Zaine had such a nice and positive energy that picked me back up.
He helped me get a Fasttrack pass at Table Mountain, which saved a good hour of standing in line for the cable car (worth the money!!!) and taught me many interesting tidbits about the people, the fauna and the culture.
I was in Capetown for work and only had a few hours to see the surroundings, and I can highly recommend this tour if all you can/want to do is a quick overview of the natural highlights.
Hopefully, I will have a chance to come back with more time - I definitely would book another tour with this company!
