This was a great tour covering all the sights we wanted in just a few hours. We stopped at Muizenberg beach briefly then on to Boulder to see the penguins. We then went to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope for two further stops. We were a party of 5 in a people carrier with good narration and information along the way. A very worthwhile tour at a reasonable cost. Admission fees not included - company pays upfront and you pay them back at end of tour.
A great tour. Very easy to understand driver. Very informative and interesting. Lots of penguins and beautiful scenery
Thank you! We're glad you found the tour informative and easy to follow. It was a pleasure having you with us!
Generally a good and brief tour. Only thing I didn't like was that we didn't go to Chapman's Peak Drive even though it was advertised that it's part of the tour.
The tour was absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide, Chris, was wonderful, very friendly and full of knowledge about the area, its history and nature. We got to see everything we were hoping for and enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you Chris for a fantastic (half) day! Absolutely recommend!!
Chris was a wonderful guide - we would always hire him again:-) He told us a lot of interesting things with a very nice & charming manner!
Great tour for people with limited time. It was a 6 hours great experience. No rush at all, and still had time to do my table mountain after that. Highly recommend
Coco was our guide, she was not only knowledgeable but also fun. I recommend 👌 this for those who have less time in Cape Town, you can see the Peninsula in half a day.
Great day! Stunning scenery from Cape Goodhope to #Capepoint Lighthouse and we also had time to see the penguins at Boulders Beach. Our guide Coco was very attentive and knowledgeable, I definitely liked it, it was amazing! And I recommend…
Amazing day trip! Packed a ton of sights into a short time, from the penguins at Boulders Beach to the cliffs of Cape Point. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the shared format was a great way to meet fellow travelers. Highly recommend for anyone short on time but wanting a Cape Peninsula highlight reel.
