Cape Peninsula Full Day Tour in Private Car

Russell_F, Apr 2026

South African happiness tour.

The experience with Gideon far succeed expectations. He explained everything g about the places we visited, enjoyed a mischievous laugh with others and demonstrated the good nature of South African culture. He attended to our needs and sought out the cricket ground, even managing to sweet talk the guard into letting go us in for photos. He led us to where the cue was to access tickets and was always where he said he would be when we returned from a activity. A charming gand enthusiastic tour guide. Would highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone.

Stunning views from the...

Stunning views from the top make this hike worth every step! Our guide Kurt was incredible making sure the whole group felt comfortable at every stage of the hike. He was also very informative and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this hike to anyone. My husband has a fear of heights but was still able to complete the steep parts at the top with the incredible guidance from Kurt.

A Tour I’ll Be Talking About for a Long Time

I can honestly say this tour was one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment it started, everything just felt easy and well thought out, which let me relax and actually enjoy the experience instead of worrying about logistics. What really made it special for me was the guide Candy. She didn’t just share facts—she told stories, added little details, and made each stop feel meaningful. I found myself genuinely engaged the whole time, which doesn’t always happen on tours. It felt less like being guided and more like exploring with someone who truly loves what they do. I also appreciated how balanced the itinerary was. Nothing felt rushed, and there was enough time to take things in, ask questions, or just enjoy the surroundings. The small group made a big difference too. It felt more personal, more relaxed. Overall, this tour really stuck with me. It wasn’t just about seeing places—it was about experiencing them in a way that felt genuine and memorable. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for something a bit more meaningful than the usual tourist experience.Thanks Candy and our driver Zane.

More of a full day tour

The guide was very knowledgable and offered us a brief stop for lunch. Cape of Good Hope and seeing the penguins a truly exceptional experience. We booked a half day tour. We were picked up at 8.50 at our hotel and did not return until nearly 5pm. Beware if you are in a rush and hoping to return to Cape Town for the afternoon.

Great time!

Angel was amazing! She took us on a full day private group tour around the Penninsula. She was so accomaditing with stopping for pictures, wanting to stay or leave earlier, and took us to fun stops. She had great recommendations for lunch and dinner later on in our trip. We had an excellent day with her and I highly suggest doing this tour.

Elijah was my tour guide...

Elijah was my tour guide on this trip. There was some mistake in the system but he communicated on time and made alternative arrangements. He was extremely informative, funny, very accommodating throughout the trip. He did not rush at any of the sites and was very thoughtful in the way he drove us to the various sites. We got to all the attractions before the crowds arrived. Definitely 5 stars for this trip! Thank you Elley!

Cape Town: Robben Island Tour Including Ferry Tickets & Transfers

Peter_J, Jan 2026

Robben Island

We were on our 2nd day of a cruise. Pick up was offered by the tour operator which we accepted. However the ship is berthed within a 10 minute walk to the start point at the Robben Island Museum. So if you do not have any difficulty with walking I would suggest making your own way there. The trip itself was an excellent experience with an ex prisoner and the ex guard and subsequent good friend of Nelson Mandela were there to tell us about the place.

#1 Boulders Penguins & Cape Point Full Day Tour From Cape Town

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

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.

Not seeing something you are looking for?

Cape Town’s coastline, culture, and Table Mountain backdrop make it tempting to stay in the city, but there are a whole host of adventures to be had if you venture out. Whether heading to the Cape of Good Hope or Robben Island, taking a wine tour through Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, or spotting wildlife on safari, it’s all within easy reach. Along with expert guides and entrance fees, many tours include a delicious lunch stop, usually with a view, making Cape Town day trips the ideal way to experience the history, natural wonders, and wildlife reserves of the region.
