Half Day Tour Cape Town (Nathan) was amazing - We did a half day tour for our honeymoon through Cape Town with Nathan (who was an amazing guide). We saw table mountain, cape of good hope, penguins and had an amazing lunch where even exotic game was on the menu. We had a great time and would for sure book again with other friends if we were back!

Out of this world experience - Table mountain was out of this world. We were blessed with a lovely weather, a highly knowledgeable and patient tour guide even though we had to wait 3hrs to get to the top by cable car. However, the wait was worth it as the view was breathtaking. The tour guide took us to the best viewing spot. Highly recommended tour.

City tour - Our tour was excellent. Although Table Mountain was closed due to the weather, we had a great experience. Instead we went to the botanical gardens. The castle was very interesting too.

A half day Cape Town Tour - The tour was great and full of interesting information. I wish we were able to give more of an opinion about where we were going based on our interests. Instead of hitting every “tourist” stop, we could have skipped some of the places we paid to get into. We had lots of great photos taken of us by our guide which was nice. It’s very convenient and a safe feeling to have a guide that knows the area, you don’t have to worry about taxis as pick up is right from your accommodations. Our guide Wilson was very kind. I think there could have been more times we were allowed to adventure on our own instead of guides joining you on every step. I’m guessing that’s to prevent getting taken advantage of though. I would have paid the same if not more money to our guide for us to be able to pick where and how long we stayed in places, but all around very cool trip around Cape Town and Table Mountain with the mountain definitely being the highlight of the day.
