This was a fabulous tour. We saw the beautiful Cape Town landscape and surround areas. Saying at Capes Bay, traveling to Table Mountain and riding the Cable car, we stopped at surfing beach town Muizenburg Beach on our way to Boulder Beach to see the penguins. After many photos we ate lunch st Seaforth in Simon’s Town. The rest of the afternoon was spent viewing and climbing to see the lighthouse at Table Mountain National Park. We saw ostriches and baboons!! We finished the day at Cape of Good Hope. Our driver, Barnabas allowed time to stop along the way to snap photos of the sunset over the S Atlantic Ocean between the magnificently framed mountain range. HIGHLY recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful full day to see highlights of Cape Peninsula on a small group tour. There were 7 of us in total on a small mini bus and we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Seapoint. We covered Bo-Kaap (short stop), scenic costal drive out of Capetown towards Chapman Peak, into Cape national park to Cape Point and return via Boulders Beach Penguin colony and a few other small towns. Sadly we could not visit Table Mountain due to weather but our guide Rodney was very accommodating and informative and he took us to some other small towns as stops in the Cape instead. We also had our tickets for Table Mountain swiftly refunded to us which was good.
Dear Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We are really glad you had a great day exploring the Cape Peninsula with us and that the small group setup and hotel pick up in Sea Point worked well for you. It is fantastic to hear you enjoyed the route through Bo-Kaap, Chapman’s Peak, Cape Point, and Boulders Beach. While it is unfortunate that Table Mountain was closed due to weather, we are pleased Rodney was able to adapt the itinerary and still make the day special with extra stops along the way. We are also happy the refund process for the tickets was handled smoothly. Thank you for having trusted our services, enjoy your future travels! Best regards, Pauline
