Cannot leave CT without visiting RI - A must visit place where Nelson Mandela spent 17 years of his life. It is more of a bus tour after taking a 30 mins ferry ride from V&A waterfront. It is a somber place with so much history on what South Africa is today (apartheid et al). The most humbling part of the tour was the guide - Mr. Sparks himself was a political prisoner in the island for 7 years. Recommended !

Robben island - Great tour. I took the 11am , I would suggest the earlier one , as weather can change later in the day . Guides were informative , trip left on time and ended on time , which is always good

If you really don't have anything else to do, otherwise I'd really leave it - Ridiculous organization, waiting 1/2 hour in a hot hall, while the boat is waiting. Upon returning we were allowed to wait an hour and a half in the sun because the boat was delayed "a bit". Furthermore, it is obviously a special place, but it is absolutely not worth the money and the time for me... outside Mandela's famous cell there is really nothing to see
