Table Mountain & Robben Island Review - What a treat!! Ivan did a fantastic job and was punctual, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. Everything went smoothly from pick-up to drop-off. The views from Table Mountain were breathtaking. The cable ride takes about 5 minutes to reach the plateau and once there they have walking trails that range from 15 minutes to 1+ hour to explore. The Robben Island portion of the tour involves a ferry to/from the island. There's a bus you will board on arrival that goes around a portion of the island and a guide from the museum will explain a lot of the complex history. Once concluded, you are dropped off at the prison where a former inmate will tell you their story, show you around and answer any questions you might have. This was a the perfect start to my visit to South Africa and I highly recommend it, thank you!!

One of new 7 wonders of nature - We started with table mountain tour the view from the top was beyond my imagination cable car was rotating so we couldn't miss the views but I was a little bit disappointed with the closure of Robben Island museum due to the maintenance but we were offered a city tour instead
