We had a great tour to Hermanus with our amazing guide, Horea. The trip was well organized, with a few short stops along the way, and enjoyable from start to finish. It’s a small group tour, which makes the experience more personal and relaxed. If you decide not to do a whale-watching tour, there’s plenty of time to wander around the charming town and enjoy the beautiful views. There’s even a little wine tasting included if you’d like to join! Highly recommended — thanks a lot, Horea, for a fantastic day!

Je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié la visite, merci d'avoir partagé votre expérience.
It was a really unique experience with a lot of nice background information and great views in the beautiful little city Hermanus. We've only booked the tour without the whale watching online as the tickets weren't available or just too expensive. But our tour guide Charles actually organized some tickets for a really fair price for anyone on the bus who wanted to join. Really it was him who made the trip so special. He was really sweet and probably the most competent and passionate tour guide I've had, ever. While whale watching there was only one other boat, which we really liked as it made the experience feel very unique and the whales don't get bothered that way. 10/10, would do it again any time!
It sounds like you had an unforgettable experience in Hermanus with City Sightseeing Cape Town! The combination of stunning views and background information makes for a memorable tour. It's fantastic to hear that Charles went above and beyond to secure whale watching tickets, enhancing your trip even further.
Relaxing trip, small town with plenty of things to do. Able to spot Whales either with the boat trip or by the coast.
We are glad that you saw some whales and enjoyed the Hermanus trip with City Sightseeing Cape Town.
The tour was lovely. The whales can be seen from surprisingly close during the boat ride, Hermanus itself is beautiful and the optional wine tasting was a great touch. The drive is broken up by rest stops at interesting places. The commentary provided by the guide Charles was insightful and fun, and he went to great lengths to ensure we had a pleasant experience.
Thank you for the review of the City Sightseeing full day trip to Hermanus. We are glad to hear you enjoyed our guide Charles and saw some whales - sounds like an amazing day!
We had an amazing day on our City Sightseeing Whale Trip with our guide Louis! He was fantastic – funny, friendly, and full of interesting information. His explanations were clear and easy to follow, and he created a great atmosphere for the whole group. Even with a bit of gloomy weather and only a few whale sightings, we still had a wonderful time thanks to Louis. Highly recommended!
It sounds like your City Sightseeing Hermanus and Whale tour was a fantastic day out and we are glad it was a memorable experience, despite the weather.
We had a great day with our guide Louis who was smiling, funny and passionate. Unfortunately the weather was not very warm for going to see the whales.
It sounds like having Louis as your guide made a world of difference, even though the weather wasn't ideal for whale watching! His passion and humour must have brought warmth to the experience.
Nice tour overall, includes a gorgeous spot for photos with a view of Hermanus. The guide Louis was very nice and friendly.
Thank you for sharing your experience with City Sightseeing Cape Town. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the view of Hermanus to be photo-worthy.
