Gain a great feel for the city in a short amount of time - Highly recommended! You get a different feel for a city on a cycle. The pace is perfect and our leader, Gareth, is so clear with signals to the cars that you will feel at ease. The route allows you to see a lot in a short time without feeling rushed. It orients you well to the city, gives you great information about history and culture, and gets rid of that sluggish sitting-too-long-on-a-plane feeling!

Relaxing cycling through Cape Town - A bike tour of Cape Town, we had rented electric bikes. We were received by Chad. The highlights of Cape Town viewed by bike, so special. Chad is a fine person, he can talk enthusiastically about his city. And the snack at Faeeza’s was delicious.

Great cycling tour! - We enjoyed our cycling tour a lot! We booked it for our first day in Cape Town and it gave us a nice overview of the highlights and the structure of the city. The stories were interesting and fun to listen to and the guides really made us having a good time. It gave us enough history insights to enjoy the city even more after.

A great way to see the City of Cape Town. - A great way to see the city of Cape town. A good knowledgeable guide who managed to keep us altogether through the busy streets, whilst we also felt safe.
Lots of time to take photographs, drinks were provided with a nice stop off for local refreshments in Bo Kaap too.
We didn't choose Ebikes and the route was manageable including one steep climb up to our refreshment stop.
Thank you for a great morning and introduction to Cape Town.

A must day after you arrive . Book in advance of leaving home to guarantee a place. - We always do either a ycling tour of city or Guru walk to establish where things are when you first arrive . Very good guide. Lots of facts and history related to South Africa and Capetown. Helmets and water supplied. Nice treat when stopped at little family run cafe

It is a good way to see... - It is a good way to see Cape Town, although the city is not made for cycling and we cycled next to cars that I found not very safe. You get a small snack that was delicious.

Fun trip but very expensive - The bike tour was a fun way to see the city, the guide had a lot of information about the city.
It is easy yo do for all ages as long as you know how to ride a bicycle.
The only negative thing is the price. It is more expensive to go on a three hour bike tour than to rent a car for a day.
€60 pp makes it an extremely expensive trip.
