What are people saying about Cape Town

Harry_H, Jun 2026

Private Wine Tour

This wine tour was first class from start to finish. Our driver/guide Crystal was able to show us some of the best tasting rooms in Stellenbosch. we tasted wine at three wineries and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a fourth. This is a great way to experience a very special wine growing region.

Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike

Florence_C, Jun 2026

The Lion’s head hike was sensational

Codi was an amazing guide helping us explore the terrain of lion’s head at sunset. I am physically fit with a slight fear of heights. Codi was very supportive and helped me reach heights I have never hiked before. While I was uneasy as we were reaching the top, Codi accompanied down to lower ground where I was able to comfortably watch the sunset and hike back down easily.

Amazing day in the Cape.

Felix was a very safe driver and imparted great information along the trip. He went out of his way to find animals in their natural environment for us to see. The whole day was great. Beautiful scenery, seals, penguins, ostrich and eland. Thank you for a remarkable experience.

Table Mountain & Cape Town City Half Day Private guided Tour

rose_g, May 2026

An amazing day in Cape Town!

It was a fantastic tour! Our guide Kelvin was truly incredible! He was so accommodating, personable and made sure we not only saw as much of Cape Town as possible, but got a comprehensive history of this incredible city and country. He made the history so relevant to today's society and made it very real!!! And table mountain was incredible, inspite of a not so perfect weather day. Kelvin caught just the right moment later in the day when the rain stopped and the fog lifted for a bit, and took us to the mountain! Incredible experience!!!!

Shark Cage Diving and Viewing with transport from Cape Town

Neil_M, May 2026

Totally recommend this

Whole experience was faultless. Picked up promptly at my hotel in a clean and comfortable van. Stopped on the way to the dive location for a toilet and coffee break. Met a Marine Dynamics by a good breakfast. Quick safety briefing and then out in the boat. On 30mins to dive site we saw a sunfish and a quick glimmer of a whale. Saw a total of 7 sharks and a friendly seal. Good wetsuits and equipment .Great view of the sharks from the boat but the visibility in the water wasn’t very good, but at least I can say I swam with sharks. Hot chocolate to warm up after. Returned to soup and rolls for lunch before the drive back to Cape Town. Marine Dynamics is a professionally run organisation and I would recommend this to anyone.

Cape of Good Hope, Table Mountain & Penguins Private Tour from Cape Town

Kathleen_J, May 2026

For one of the first...

For one of the first times we used Viator for a tour, our private tour of Cape Town far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have been happier. We had just disembarked from a disappointing cruise as we missed 4 excursions from the cruiseline due to weather. Our guide, Collen Booi, was the best guide we could have had. The weather forecast was grim but he worked around the weather to make sure we were able to see all of the itinerary plus more. He was so friendly and knowledgable and we learned so much about the country and the culture. He was flexible on our pick up time and drop off and we had no issues meeting up with him after disembarking from the ship. It was truly one of the best experiences we had and Collen helped make our first time to South Africa a trip to remember.

Cape Town: Tandem Paragliding with the Experts

Adrian_K, Mar 2026

Happy and Memorable

We booked the activity just at the night before and they responded quite quickly to confirm it. The whole event was well communicated and we enjoyed the process. The paragliding was beautiful but a bit short due to very low wind that morning. Nevertheless, I did not regret doing this. Thanks Tandem Flight Co.

Amazing experience ever🪂lifetime memories and super worth it to try and if I can visit again in Capetown I will do it again. Amazing team, they are all accommodating when you arrive in meeting point and even to inform us to come early because of the weather condition/strong wind that might cancel the fly and almost it happened but luckily they decided to go when it's safe and continue and also my flight instructor Deniz he is so amazing, professional, friendly, funny, cool and makes me feel safe during the fly almost 20 minutes I think. Safely take off and landing👏👏👏

Cape Town Private Tour: Cape of Good hope & Boulders Penguins

Nick_W, Jan 2026

Perfect Day

With only a 2 day stop on a world cruise we needed to choose our tour wisely.After reading the reviews we knew this was the one for us.And yes it lived up to all expectations. It can be quite difficult finding a tour that caters for a wheelchair user but our tour guide put in 110%.We learnt so much about South Africa of old and present, and stopped at the most amazing places. A huge thanks for a great day

Zipline Cape Town - From Foot of Table Mountain Reserve

Annette_G, Jan 2026

Absolutely brilliant, highly recommend!

Absolutely brilliant experience! Due to weather we rescheduled our trip and the team were wonderful, helpful and very accommodating. On the day: Mesuli & Winnie were our excellent guides! Safety is great, experience is absolutely brilliant and SO MUCH FUN! You definitely need an amount of fitness and mobility as there are a few short & steep walks/scrambles to do to get to the higher platforms. But absolutely worth the effort!

Cape Town Private Tour: Table Mountain, Cape Point & Penguins

Teresa_N, Dec 2025

Best tour and Guide

This was by far one of the BEST tours I have been on. I’ve traveled the world, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Bali, and more. Please request FAYICAL (fi-zel) he was THE BEST tour guide. Very informative and knowledgeable BUT he was so kind. It only to us but everyone around he helped out an elderly lady, he assisted someone trying to park that was having trouble and so friend to everyone. He was hands down amazing and made this tour that much better. It was a pleasure spending the day with you.

Cape Town Private Tour: Penguins, Cape Point & Chapman's Peak

Kurt_S, Nov 2025

Excellent tour with Felix

Felix is a wealth of knowledge regarding Cape Town. A bonus is, he has a van to take you around. Seeing all the different areas was wonderful. Cape Town and the surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful. Beware of one point.....Chapman's Peak Drive said included in admission and it was not. It was approximately $30 USD per person
