Wonderful - We had a great time during all of our tour, everything went as planned. Clement was very polite, he was on time to pick us up at the hotel, had great explanations about the sightseeing and history, and the private car was really comfortable. We recommend the company and the tours for all travelers.

Highly recommended - Exceptional! We were picked up early by our guide Jeff, with a very comfortable car and water for the trip. He offered us to do the route in such a way that the weather was as good as possible for each activity.We climbed Table Mountain when it was clear and we could enjoy the views without clouds, a great success his recommendation! Otherwise, great explanation of the history and main points of the city. We have some lovely photos in couple too, thanks Jeff! We definitely recommend this tour!

Inspirational and Beautiful - We’re traveling with our adult children (24 & 27) and wanted to see two of the most important sites in Cape Town (obviously very different experiences). Our schedule meant we needed to do both in one day and this tour perfectly fit the bill. Djiby, our driver, was outstanding. He drove us to both sites, provided informative background and was flexible in regard to our needs as our Robben Island return trip was delayed causing a change in our lunch plans and Table Mountain timing. Djiby is friendly, personable and an excellent driver. Robben Island was a heavy visit and the former prisoner tour guide was informative and inspiring. Table Mountain was inspiring from a breathtaking natural perspective. Everyone agrees, this was a spectacular day and we’re glad we started with Robben Island and finished with Table Mountain as Table Mountain renewed our souls after seeing the horror man can subject another man to.

Cape Town tour of the beautiful table mountain and Robbin’s island - Tour was amazing, we enjoyed this tour. Being on top of table mountain was breathtaking. Seeing Robbin’s island was a very nice historical landmark to see but very sad to know how people had their freedom unjustly taken away. Our tour guide for Robbin’s island was once a prisoner for 5 years on the island. So glad Mr Mandela had the means to open the doors of freedom. JuJu was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable. Answered all our question and gave excellent advise to keeping us safe. He is an Awesome tour guide.

SCAM, do not book it. - it is just a pick up service, the driver/guide do not go with you to the island/table mountain. the downtown city tour is in the car, you do not even visit the places. Misguiding description in the page. To me this tour is a SCAM, do not book it.
