Amazing experience - Visited South Africa for work and wanted to squeeze in a bit of sight seeing on my last day there ..the half day tour was exceptional and more than worth the money! The views were breathtaking.. the guide, Kembo, was top class.. so friendly, knowledgeable, paid attention to our needs and got us back on time! Do it if you're there with little time..and ask for Kembo :)

Excellent half day tours penguins and peninsula - Kembo the guide was simply brilliant, he was very friendly super knowledgeable and got us to the right spots at the right time. The tour itself which was a half day tour covered all the major attractions so in 4-5 hours to see penguins colony, cape of good hope, cape point and stop at some beautiful scenic places just topped it off nicely.

Brilliant tour and guide thoroughly recommend! Just book it 😁 - We really enjoyed today’s tour with Kembo. It was varied and we learnt so much. He took time to introduce himself and introduce us to the group too. And to also learn a little about us. We instantly felt like family, comfortable in our group. Many facts and stories shared along the way, Kembo was very informative. The stops were well timed, with coffee and comfort breaks included. It was our pleasure, thoroughly recommended! Thank you Kembo!

On the way back we visited boulders beach with its Penguin colonny, which offered again the Chance to take unforgetable pictures. The end point Was a visit of Bo-Kaap with its interesting history. Thank you Kemdo for this beautyful day trip and the Chance to meet you.
