What are people saying about Cape Town

Sunil_R, Aug 2026

Its the best way to do...

Its the best way to do the sight seeing around Cape Town !! You dont have to worry about the planning and logistics. Best part is the amazing tour guide and driver you get on the trip. Nana and Zane were amazing throughout the trip, and needless to say, all the locations on the itinerary were breathtaking!!

Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike

Jenna_D, Jul 2026

Lion's Head Sunset Hike

10/10 would recommend. One of the best things I did in Cape Town, and definitely worth the money. Our guide, Idrees, was awesome. He was organized, on time, a great conversationalist, and full of Cape Town local history. I completed this hike as a solo female traveler and would recommend it for others. I would discourage doing this hike alone as it is quite difficult (not a good trail for those with an inability to climb ladders or a deep fear of heights). Would use caution for small children. Wear shoes with decent tread if you packed them, the hike is intense but worth the views. I'd also recommend doing the pick up option as Ubers can be difficult to call from the trailhead later in the night. Enjoy!

Cape Town Winelands – Franschhoek Wine Tram & Stellenbosch Tour

Sarah_B, Jul 2026

My favorite tour

Last week my sister and I had an absolutely incredible time with Peter leading us through a day of wine tasting. The wines and scenery were fantastic, but it was really Peter who made the trip what it was. When he wasn’t acting as our personal photographer, he joked around with us and was also very insightful about life in South Africa. It was my favorite day of an incredible trip, and I can only highly recommend this tour!

Half Day Boulders Penguins and Cape Point Small Group Tour

Mirjana_P, Jun 2026

Great half day tour

It was an amazing experience. Talent was very knowledgeable and he planned the trip well. The group was amazing and everyone was on time at every stop. We saw the penguins and had an amazing time at Cape of Good Hope. I am glad I did a half-day tour as it was just enough to see everything and still have time to enjoy it.

All-Inclusive Private Tour: Table Mountain, Cape Point & Penguins

John_T, May 2026

All-inclusive isn't, but still a tour. Do it!

Don't forget, all-inclusive does not include the tickets you need to see the Cape, the penguins, or Table Mountain. Do not buy Table Mountain tickets until the morning of the tour. If the mountain is covered with clouds, you're not going and if you bought tickets in advance like they tell you to do, you're going to spend time getting a refund. Our guide, Martin, was superb! It's really sad to see people are TOO CHEAP to give your guide just $5 or $10 for a job WELL DONE. We were the only couple in the entire group to tip him. I guess the $20 they spent on lunch just broke the bank. PATHETIC. It was a day well spent. Now to get that refund.

Big Five Safari and Breede River Valley Guided Day Trip

Alexandria_L, May 2026

Amazing tour! Highly recommend

Werner was our tour guide for the day and this tour exceeded expectations. We got to stop at a winery on the way and then proceeded to have lunch at Aquila before heading out for our game drive that we booked. We saw over 10 different animal species and 4 of the big 5. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience a safari but is limited on time

African Story Wine Tours in the Cape Winelands

Carol_M, Apr 2026

Fantastic Tour for Wine Lovers

This was a wonderful tour of 4 established vineyards with wine tasting to include cheese and chocolate as well as a delicious lunch, which as a vegetarian I had plenty of choice. Our guide Donovan was incredibly welcoming, fun and knowledgeable about wines and their history and never made the day feel rushed at all. There were 2 other people on the tour from Australia and we all got on so well it really made the day one of our best whilst on holiday.

From CapeTown: Stellenbosch Half Day Wine Tour

Martin_R, Apr 2026

Great wine tasting..

Collected from the cruise terminal, headed straight to Stellenbosch, for a quick wander around the town, you don't Need long here, souvenirs / photos. On to Marianne vineyard, Beautiful setting and a great biltong / wine pairing. (Yes we bought wine ) On to the next vineyard Fairview much bigger scale but very well set up. This time a cheese and wine pairing 6 fantastic bargain price wine, did not expect that. Great host at the vineyard (Yes we bought wine). Sean our driver / guide was Great. Slight issue with sound in the minibus. But he made up for this being very flexible with timing. Making sure we would be back to the port in good time. Despite me leaving my phone in the minibus 😔. After a call to Bosch travel. Sean was contacted and he drove all the way back to the port to deliver my phone. Now that's how you can tell a good honest tour operator and driver.. he was a star...

Cheetah Outreach Tour Somerset West, Gordon's Bay and Strand Beaches

Kevin_S, Jan 2026

Brilliantly surreal

It has been a real privilege to get so close to such a beautiful animal. The team at Cheetah Outreach carry out excellent work in protecting these wonderful creatures. I would also like to give a big thanks to my driver Simba. I found him to be professional, funny and a genuinely interesting person, and I thoroughly enjoyed his company on the road.

#1 Boulders Penguins & Cape Point Full Day Tour with Pickup

Jodi_A, Nov 2025

A Beautiful Tour and a Great Workout!

It was a fabulous tour. The guide was amazing and the location is breathtaking. It was quite a workout to do the two separate hikes - which are both totally worth it - but make sure you wear tennis shoes or hiking boots and clothes that you can move in. Such a fun tour!

Cape Town Quad Bike and Free Sandboarding

Ellen_P, Oct 2025

Great workout :)

It was a fun experience and the dunes are gorgeous! We got lucky and the rest of the tour didn’t show up so it was just me and my friend. There were also no other tours around which allowed for a great ‘just us’ experience. We tried sandboarding as well. It was tough! I do wish thought we could sandboard as part of the ATV experience. We left our bikes and had to walk to and from sandboard place which, in sand and 30C, is not fun.
