A really fun little half day tour. - We chose this tour at the end of a visit to Cape Town where we were mostly busy with a conference and didn’t have time for much tourist activity. It was an excellent decision and capped off our visit very well. Our tour guide Gordon was a lot of fun and was both knowledgeable and entertaining. The group was small, meaning it didn’t feel crowded or rushed. We got to see some wonderful things and had a great time doing it. Highly recommended.

A must do trip. - Very good day with tour guide Gordon. 14 of us in a comfortable mini-bus, and Gordon personalised the experience by memorising all our names and introducing us to each other. Our pick up at the hotel was punctual, and we saw some of Cape Town as the other guests were collected. Drove through some of the lovely neighbourhoods such as Seapoint and Camps Bay, and stopped after an hour or less at a surfing by for coffee and a walk on the beach. Then we had ample time with the penguins, before heading to the Lighthouse area for beautiful views and a snack. Saw some cheeky baboons and ostriches as we drove. Then we had ample time at the Cape before being dropped back to our hotel. Nice views on the drive home too and good safe driving. A recommended trip.

Beautiful views and beautiful penguins - First and foremost, I truly appreciated getting a ride to and from the excursions. I thought it was very thoughtful and a nice touch. Sadick was a very great tour guide. He had a lot of great energy. He was very knowledgeable a good conversationalist and did not fail to let us know all information in history of every single site that we saw as we made our way to boulders Beach and Cape Hope. He made sure that we were all comfortable and had everything we needed. The views were breathtaking! This is a must do excursion you will not regret it! If you can do the longer one even better!

Not as advertised. - The itinerary was not at all accurate. It said 1 hour at Boulder Beach. We got 20 minutes. It said 1 hour at Cape Hope. We got 20 minutes. We were not given the alloted time at the other 2 stops either. There was not time to even get take away food. A good positive was the driver, Thomas, offered to drop me at Kristiansbosch botanical garden, instead of at the pick up point.
