- Table Mountain - Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your Cape Town hotel, traveling into the heart of the Mother City in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. Engage in conversation with your guide about the city and the attractions you wish to explore; the itinerary is adaptable to your preferences.
Consider starting with a cable car journey up Table Mountain, the city’s renowned UNESCO World Heritage site. The ride is at your own expense and depends on favorable weather conditions, but the panoramic views from the top are breathtaking. Note that during July/August, the cable car is closed for approximately two weeks for annual maintenance, though the hiking trails remain accessible.
- Signal Hill - Alternatively, bypass the cable car and ascend Signal Hill by minivan. This hill offers a classic Cape Town viewpoint and is a charming spot to admire the city and beach landscapes.
Return to the city for a walking tour around Cape Town itself.
- Company’s Gardens - Stroll through Company’s Gardens, a colonial-era park featuring a lovely Rose Garden and a large fish pond. Pass by several sites connected to the city’s complex history with slavery, such as Slave Lodge and the Old Slave Tree, and admire top Cape Town landmarks including the Houses of Parliament.
- Greenmarket Square - Greenmarket Square and St George’s Mall are also included in your route.
- Noon Day Gun - Return to your minivan for a visit to the Noon Gun — Cape Town’s historic time signal — and the vibrant neighborhood of Bo-Kaap.
- Bo-kaap - Pause for photos by the brightly colored houses, and learn about how the district has transformed from a shanty town to a lively city neighborhood with a diverse cultural mix.
- Victoria & Alfred Waterfront - Take a break at the V&A Waterfront for lunch and perhaps a boat ride around the harbor (both at your own expense). After enjoying some leisure time, regroup with your guide, and then unwind on a scenic drive along the Atlantic coastline.
Observe the waves crashing against the rugged shores, and pass through upscale neighborhoods such as Clifton or Camps Bay. Your tour concludes with a drop-off at your Cape Town hotel.
- Africa Select Journeys - If you choose the private tour option, this tour will be conducted exclusively for you and/or your group. You can request itinerary changes after booking to ensure you visit only the highlights you wish to see. Alternatively, join others on scheduled departure days as part of a Small Group Tour option.
