Top Cape Town Safaris - page 11

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.

Brilliant - so easy to get on and off. Changeover on blue line to go to Winery at Constantia was very efficient. Commentary was great with some humour which made us smile. Harbour tour was great, if a little underwhelming but again, the commentary was informative and funny, in places. A great way to get a feel for Cape Town.

This tour covers a lot of ground but is well worth it, especially on a warm sunny day like we had. It's also a great alternative to more expensive cruise tours to the same places. There were 17 of us in a large, comfortable van with AC. Gakeem was a skilled driver, and Ibby was an excellent guide (a native of Cape Town), friendly and very knowledgable. He shared interesting info and history of all sites on the itinerary. All was well timed without feeling rushed. Table Mountain was clear and panoramic (no cloud cover). We had to wait 30 minutes in line for the cablecar, but when we left the line was 2 hours! The drive along Chapman's Peak had gorgeous coastal views. Ibby took a group vote and chose a lovely spot with several options for lunch on your own. Cape of Good Hope had spectacular views of the cape and coastline. Along the way we saw baboons, a zebra and ostriches out in the wild. The penguins at Boulders Beach were a highlight! It was a full 10-hour tour but well worth it for all we got to see. I highly recommend it, but do yourself a favor and GET THE ALL-INCLUSIVE TOUR that includes tickets for Table Mountain, Boulder Beach, Cape Hope. It was quite a challenge for several guests to try and get tickets on their phones or at the sites where there are usually long lines. You'll save yourself the hassle and won't hold up the entire group!
