So much more than just Boulders Beach!
I’m really happy I booked the half-day Boulders Beach tour. It was much more than just visiting Boulders Beach and seeing the penguins - I got to experience several other beautiful parts of Cape Town along the way. Mulanda was a wonderful guide, friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable. It was such a lovely way to see more of Cape Town in a short time, and I’m very glad I booked it!

Dino is an amazing guide....
Dino is an amazing guide. Knowledgeable and always knows how to make everyone feel comfortable. He gave us tips for the harder parts and showed us some great scenic angles. We hiked up for the sunset and got to see the full moon too. Dino knew all the best spots to capture both.

Felix made this the best day of our trip — book him!
Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. We're a family of four (kids aged 15 and 11) and this private tour was the highlight of our time in Cape Town.
Felix was exceptional. He was attentive every single moment, completely flexible with what we wanted to do, and never once made us feel rushed. He gave us great recommendations along the way, was wonderful with the kids as well as with us, and doubled as our personal photographer — we came home with pictures we'll keep forever. He stayed with us right to the end and even added an unscheduled stop just to make our day better. That's the kind of thing that turns a good tour into a great one.
He's polite, genuinely knowledgeable, and his English is clear and easy to follow — a real difference from other tours we've done. The vehicle was large, brand new and spotlessly clean, with plenty of room for all of us.
The scenery speaks for itself, but having the right guide is what makes it unforgettable. If you're considering this tour: book it, and ask for Felix. Worth every cent.

Best tour guide in Cape Town
We had such a wonderful experience with Winsley during our time in Cape Town! He was not only an excellent driver, but also an amazing tour guide. He was incredibly friendly, professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable and safe throughout our entire trip.
Winsley knows Cape Town extremely well and shared so much interesting information about the city, its history, culture, and all the places we visited. He gave us great recommendations, was always patient and accommodating, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible.
Having Winsley as our driver and guide made our time in Cape Town so much more special and stress-free. We truly enjoyed spending time with him and would 100% recommend him to anyone visiting Cape Town. Thank you, Winsley, for taking such great care of us!

A must do experience while visiting Cape Town!
I must see when visiting Cape Town. I absolutely loved my wine tour. My guide was very experienced and also gave me so much history. The wine experience was absolutely divine since I was the only person solo. It was just my Guide and I so he allowed me to have as much time as I wanted enjoying the fine wines at each winery then we also visited areas in Stellenbosch. Such a beautiful city to explore and lots of history there I will definitely be back. Highly recommend this tour. You are absolutely love it.❤️❤️❤️

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!

This is an excellent...
This is an excellent tour, and a big part of what made it special was our guide, Clemente. He was warm and friendly, and it was clear he has a deep knowledge of South African history and of every site we visited. At each stop he had something interesting to share about the place and why it matters historically, so we came away having genuinely learned a lot. We were a group of ten, which we really enjoyed — it gave us the chance to chat with the others and swap travel stories along the way.
One thing worth knowing if you’re booking: because the tour packs many landmarks into a single day, it moves at a brisk pace. Each stop has a set amount of time before you head to the next one, so you do need to keep an eye on the schedule. That’s not a good or bad thing in itself — just something to be aware of. If you’re after a more flexible, leisurely day, this might not be the ideal format. In our case, we had only a short time in Cape Town, so it was perfect: we got to see all the most important highlights in one well-organized day.
If that’s what you’re looking for, this tour delivers 100%. We thought it was great and would happily recommend it.

Delightful Day
Albert, our guide, was delightful and although the weather was a bit chilly we still had a great experience, learned a lot of history and had a very good day. The penguins are just adorable! Unfortunately the weather was a bit uncooperative as we were to go up Table Mtn but the visibility was poor so we couldn't. No fault of the trip.

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.

Favorite day in Cape Town
First to get picked up and had 2 seats to myself so great start. Every thing we did was great. Our guide Vaughn was wonderful as well. The penguins were the highlight. The food was very good where we stopped as well. Definitely pack a lot into the day and was 11 hours not 9! Even so, worth every minute, Thanks

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.
