Beautiful National Parks! - Nice crew! I liked that Guide Horea had a fast speed on the (voluntary) hike and waited at a few stops for the whole group.

An incredible day! We had... - An incredible day! We had a big tour from Cape Town to Cape point. We passed through many cities, like muizenberg. Then we had a hike to Cape of good hope, and then we took the bus to see the pingouins

Cape Town must sees! - Guides Paul and Wendy and driver Yogu (sp?) were welcoming, knowledgeable and fun! What a full day adventure! We opted to walk to the Lighthouse (rather than take the funicular) - there were people of all fitness levels on that walk (a mix of stair and slope). We found “The Light Keeper’s Path” that took us along the left side of the cape and were rewarded with spectacular views of the new lighthouse and crashing waves below. The final hike at Cape Point isn’t for the faint of heart, and sturdy footing helps. The group wasn’t rushed so there was time to go slowly if needed. Paul led, sharing insightful information along the way, while Wendy patiently held up the rear and ensured those of us who kept stopping to take photos of the breathtaking views didn’t get lost and all made it back to the bus. The Penguins were adorable and it was amazing to be that close to them. If you want to swim at the adjacent beach bring a suit and (towel) and know that the penguin viewing will be shortened to accommodate a swim. But you can definitely fit a “toes in the water” stop on the way back to the bus. Paul was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable and obviously a proud Capetonian! Would definitely recommend this tour and team of guides and driver to experience two iconic Cape Town spots! PS bring some cash if you are a tipper!

All good apart from the guide - The trip was great seeing the penguins and the cape of good hope. There was a lot time in the bus though with 2hrs+ before the first stop. The driver (Friday) and assistant (Wendy) were excellent but let down by guide (Horea) who was frequently condescending to his customers. He was also bad on the hike. He tried to put off as many people as possible before racing ahead to leave the whole group behind. This was rude and unsafe.

Great guide; more info needed on website - The guide, Horea, was excellent! It made a real difference learning and laughing along the visit! It would be helpful to make it clear on the website that the “inclusive” option is only for Cape Point, and additional payment is still required for the penguins. It would also be helpful to clarify that everyone returns to the waterfront and then has to board a different bus to get back to the original pick up point. Finally, the food at Two Oceans restaurant was terrible (there was hair in our food!). I would recommend a packed lunch.
