Itinerary
After pick up at your accommodation in Cape Town, we begin our tour in the heart of Cape Town known as Adderley Street. This is where you will see some historical monuments like Bartholomew Dias, Jan van Riebeeck and Zackarias Waganaer Reservoir. It is here that we will embark on a brief walking tour and learn about these important monuments.
Being one of the oldest buildings in South Africa, the Castle of Good Hope is one of the historical stalwarts that is still open to visitors. It captures the historical events that took place in the Castle dating back 350 years ago. The Key ceremony and the Canon Firing all form part of the experience. Please note: The Key Ceremony runs Monday to Friday; Cannon Firing does not take place on a Sunday; These ceremonies are weather dependent.
We will drive through the city as we pass the Cape Town City Hall, where former president Nelson Mandela delivered his first speech after he was freed from prison. Your tour guide will share stories about the Grand Parade, Slave Lodge, Company Gardens and House of Parliament on route to the Bo-Kaap.
Arriving in the Bo-Kaap, we will stop for a photo opportunity with the historical colorful houses. (Please remain in close proximity to your tour guide and keep your belongings with you at all times.) The area was formerly known as the Cape Malay Quarter, and it is here that you will have the opportunity to buy some Malay spices and/or taste some Malay foods like Samoosas, Melktert (Milk Tart), and Koeksisters (own account). Your tour guide will share stories of the history of the colorful houses.
From the Bo-Kaap, we make our way to the Noon Gun. We hear the Big Bang Story of The Noon Gun, which is a historical time signal in the city of Cape Town since 1806 and situated on the lower slopes of Signal Hill. It is here that you will be greeted with an incredible view of Table Bay, the city center, the Atlantic Ocean, Robben Island, and Table Mountain.
From the Noon Gun, we travel to Afrogem Jewellery and it is here that we will take a walking jewelry factory tour and see how exquisite African jewelry is manufactured. Visitors will have the opportunity to also walk the showroom floor and see timeless pieces, from fine gemstones. Afrogem has something for everyone who desires to take a piece of Africa home with them. Please note: Visitors are under no obligation to purchase jewelry unless they desire to do so of their own free will.
The tour culminates with a stop at Table Mountain, where we will take the Cable Car to the top of the mountain. Here visitors will be given a guided tour of the mountain and see Cape Town from a different dimension. Table Mountain is known as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature and displays breathtaking views from this interesting mountain range. Use your inclusive Table Mountain ticket and skip the ticketing line.

Superb view from the cable car and heart pounding experience. Excellent picture quality for a memorable souvenir card.
Table mountain was out of this world. We were blessed with a lovely weather, a highly knowledgeable and patient tour guide even though we had to wait 3hrs to get to the top by cable car. However, the wait was worth it as the view was breathtaking. The tour guide took us to the best viewing spot. Highly recommended tour.
Our tour was excellent. Although Table Mountain was closed due to the weather, we had a great experience. Instead we went to the botanical gardens. The castle was very interesting too.
Good day Valued Client Thank you for your excellent review. We are delighted that your time was terrific and even though you experienced the four seasons in one day weather you still had a fantastic time.Travel safe
