What are people saying about Cape Town

Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour

Keith_S, Aug 2026

Amazing tour to learn...

Amazing tour! Incredible stops on Signal Hill, Boulder Penguins, Cape Hope and many other spots. Tour guide Danson was very impressive and engaging with his sharing of knowledge about the history of Africa and the greater Cape Town area. If you can only do one tour, do this one.

Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike

Joe_M, Aug 2026

Best hike either the best guide (Kurt)!

Kurt was an amazing guide! He’s an incredibly experienced hiker, and he was thoughtful and patient with our group that included different experience levels. We appreciated hearing him tell us about the intricacies of the hike, as well as the history and culture of his country. Kurt made this hike an unforgettable experience! Book with him if you can!

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.

Cape Peninsula Full Day Tour in Private Car

SUSAN_P, Jun 2026

Informative, beautiful, well worth it.

You will experience the beauty of the Cape Shoreline and learn very much about the history of the area. We were visiting during June, which is their winter. It was around 64°F on one side of the mountain. It was cloudy. We crossed over a certain point and it was perfectly clear for the rest of the day you get marvelous views as seeing the penguins was delightful. David is an excellent well informed articulate Guide I would highly recommend him.

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

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 Helicopter Tour: Atlantic Coast

chris_j, Oct 2025

Proof Humans Can Fly When Wallets Are Light Enough

Amazing views of Cape Town from above! If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a very nervous seagull, this is the tour for you. The whole ride was about 15–20 minutes — basically the length of one good panic attack — but wow was it gorgeous up there. I would 100% do it again because bucket lists don’t cross themselves off. There are longer flights available, so if you want more time pretending you’re in a Mission Impossible movie (minus Tom Cruise and the stunts), definitely go for one of those. 10/10 views. 7/10 duration. Would recommend — especially if gravity has ever personally offended you. 😄✈️🌍

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.
