Itinerary
Our next stop along the route is Chapmans Peak once we pass through the village of Hout Bay ( Wood Bay) which is reached by hugging the coast all the way from Cape Town with lovely views over the Atlantic Ocean. Once famous for its natural forest and home to elephants and leopards which have long departed ! Chapmans Peak Drive is considered one of the worlds most beautiful coastal drives with breathtaking views At its Southern end it opens up to Long Beach, an 8 km stretch of white sand where horses are often seen galloping along the beach.
Our destination is finally reached and here we take time out to explore the beautiful 7500 hectate reserve with amazing sights of wide animals in the offering such as Bontebok,Zebras,Eland and the infamous Baboons (You need to come on the tour to hear the story !) We walk up to the Lighthouse and take in the views where the two oceans meet and have our photo taken in front of the famous sign which reminds us that we are at the "Most South Western Tip of Africa "
Our return journey is via the Penguin Colony at Boulders Beach. This colony of African Penguins is one of only a few in the world. We walk on the boardwalks down to the beach to see them in their natural environment
We stop for lunch in Kalk Bay ( Chalk Bay ) at Harbour House Restaurant which is perched on the edge of the ocean. Magnificent views and food to match (For own account )
Our last stop of the day is at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens famous the world over where we take a walk through the garden. Did Apartheid start here in 1660 ? You need to take the tour to find out !

Very nice overview of the Cape. We were very pleased with our knowledgeable guide. We appreciated our guides flexibility to meet our wishes.
Hi Diane, Thank you for your review of your Peninsula Tour with us, as a Private Tour it allows us to accommodate your wish list and to spend as much time as needed at all the attractions
George was the greatest guide! He was knowledgeable, fun, and took us to a great spot for lunch. We had great conversation all day and learned a ton about the area. Will definitely book with him again!
Hi Marti, Thank you for your review of your Peninsula Tour with us. George is a star! The Peninsula Tour is one of my favorite tours with amazing nature, wildlife and a bit of history!
We had an amazing private cape peninsula tour with Willem! We saw boulders beach, got to walk on the beach next to the penguins, and saw the cape peninsula including the southern most point of Africa. Unfortunately the Chapman’s peak drive was closed due to weather but Willem quickly pivoted to take us to Groot Constantia, the oldest winery in South Africa. He was very flexible and we were really able to customize our itinerary to our liking. Although I was initially reluctant to book this tour due to a lack of reviews I am so glad I did! This tour is run by Tsiba Tsiba tours which specializes in wine tours and creating custom experiences for guests. Their countless good reviews can be found on TripAdvisor here https://www.tripadvisor.co.za/Attraction_Review-g312673-d1742722-Reviews-Tsiba_Tsiba_Wine_Tours-Stellenbosch_Western_Cape.html. You should absolutely book with them and ask for Willem who was an amazing guide and the owner of the company! We liked this tour so much that we booked a private wine tour with them as well. That was also amazing! We can’t thank them enough for planning tours that were highlights of our trip.
Hi Sara and Evan, Thank you for your honest review of your time spent with us, I certainly enjoyed my two days with you . We certainly are very blessed to live in this wonderful diverse country with so much to offer and I take great delight in showing off our beautiful Cape and Winelands which never fail to impress :) Regards Willem
George Green was excellent. The tour was great. The car Mercedes C Class excellent. All entrance fees were included. The overall price was unbeatably cheap. Anytime again. Everything was excellent
Thank you for your review Bernd, the Cape Peninsula Tour is one of George Greens' favourite Tours to guide :) Regards Willem
