Absolutely memorable! - With Remmy as our guide, we had a marvelous day traveling around the Cape Town scenic area. Our trip was replete with knowledge galore which Remmy provided. He is incredibly gracious with his time and is one of the most expert guides I’ve experienced. When interruptions beyond his control arose, he quickly found solutions for us that were just as enjoyable, and we always felt safe in his care.

Hit all the important spots - Was a little confusing re:start time. Tour start time advertised as being 9am. In reality, the ferry for Robben Island leaves at 9. And must have an ID to board the ferry. Fortunately had a picture of mine.

Table Mountain, Bo Kapp and Robben Island - We really enjoyed the trip to Table Mountain, we were lucky it was a bright sunny day. The cable car going up to the top of the mountain holds 65 people and rotates as it moves so everyone gets a good view. There were a number of different view points at the top to get great photos. Bo Kapp was an interesting place to walk around and again get good photos of the coloured buildings, the history is worth reading about. The trip over to Robben Island takes about 45 minutes, when you arrive you are transferred to buses for a short tour of the island. The guide we had on the bus was excellent giving us an history talk of the island, he was very knowledgeable and introduced a bit of fun into his commentary. We then were passed over to an ex prisoner for a tour of the prison area. He took us into one of the communal cells which slept about 60 prisoners, he told us about the conditions in the prison which although interesting went on too long. Because the talk had gone on for such a long time we were then rushed passed the cell block including Nelson Mandela's cell and the shower blocks and we had to try and take photos as we walked which ruined the experience a little, after all taking photos of the best bits are very important. Overall the combined trip was well worth doing.p
