Cape Town: Cape Peninsula Private Tour Full Day
Description
This is a comprehensive tour of the Cape Peninsula. The Cape Peninsula is one of the world’s most scenic areas and stretches from the city centre to Cape Point. We travel along the Atlantic Seaboard via Sea Point, Clifton and Camps Bay, on through Chapman’s Peak drive, a breathtaking coastal drive to Cape Point. Cape Point forms part of the Table Mountain National Park. Wildlife can be found here, including Zebra, Eland, Bontebok, Red Hartebees and many more. Visit Cape of Good Hope, the most south-westerly point of the African continent and learn more about the rich history of the area. You have the option of taking a funicular to the light house or walking up to enjoy the superb, 360-degree views from the top. We carry on to the historical Simon’s Town to visit the Cape Penguin Colony at Boulder’s Beach. Then it is time for a leisurely lunch in the quaint village of Kalkbay, after which we head back to Cape Town. These are ‘Private’ tours, so the itinerary is flexible.

We had an incredible experience with Lynette! Before taking our Full-Day Cape Peninsula Private Tour, we did a 3-day/2-night private tour of the Garden Route. Lynette was professional, deeply knowledgeable, and just a genuinely wonderful person to spend time with. She went above and beyond to accommodate everyone's needs, and our adult children loved her just as much as we did. If you want an authentic, unforgettable experience in South Africa, we highly recommend Lynette and her company!
This was a great excursion. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs.
an incredibly wonderful day with Lynette! She shared an amazing amount of information with us...looked after us at every stop ans made our day a wonderful experience! Best of luck to her and maybe we'll come back to Cape Town for another visit!
We had a group of 6 people from South Korea. Went on a group tour with Lynette for two days (one cape penninsula, next day wine tours). As you know the weather in Cape Town can be rapidly fluctuating. Lynette helped organize everything by checking the weather in advance, promptly communicating with us, and making recommendations to adjust our plans accordingly. Not to mention Lynette was a Cape local. We had a great time. Many thanks!!
We had a wonderful day of touring with Lynette and learned so much about Capetown! Gorgeous sites and coastline around Capetown and of course the penguins were a delight.
Lynette picked us up from the cruise terminal and stored our luggage in the trunk of the car so that we could enjoy our last day in Cape Town. This was less expensive than using the cruise ship’s city tour ending at the airport where we would have had a 6 hour wait before our flight. Instead, Lynette was able to get us to the airport with a minimal wait. Lynette is very knowledgeable and friendly! The tour around the peninsula was beautiful and were able to stop for pictures along the way-avoiding the crowds from the buses. The Cape of Good Hope and Boulders beach were both beautiful. Lynette made lunch reservations for us at a restaurant with a beautiful view of the shore. The food was great and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend a private tour with Lynette- she has a wealth of information about South Africa- wildlife, history, culture, plants and geography. Also fun to be with!
Very nice tour at our own pace with Lynette. We saw everything we wanted to before the big crowds without feeling rushed and still made it back to our afternoon appointment, which was the reason for doing a private tour. Lynette was very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible!
Pinguini Babboons Sea lions Great wildlife and landscapes Our guide Lynette Was so kind and gave us a real suggestiond of Cape Town d'epoca soul
I would highly recommend Cliff to ANYONE wanting to tour the Cape Town area of South Africa. Cliff was VERY knowledgeable of the area, had great historic insight, and was very fun to be around. He was able to customize our tour based on our unique interests and was very open to changing the plan and adapting as needed and offering additional tips and suggestions for our time here. Cliff even volunteered to take photos and capture our grand adventures (and they turned out great!). We toured Cape of Good Hope, the oldest winery in South Africa (Groot Constantia), had lunch near the penguins, and of course, visited Boulder Beach (plus driving around townships and the vast coast, etc.) We can't say enough good things about Cliff and our experience with him. If you only have ONE DAY in South Africa, Cliff is the best tour guide for you.
