What are people saying about Cape Town

Carol_M, Apr 2026

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.

Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town

Dean_B, Apr 2026

Great flexibility during poor weather

Perfect tour because even though the weather was terrible, our guide Rodney was able to shift things around to make sure we got to see everything with minimal rain. Had we maintained the original plan we would have gotten wet for sure. But also, Rodney himself is a fantastic guide. Great communication of the plan, friendly, very funny, very knowledgeable he made the day so much more enjoyable.

Jane_W, Apr 2026

Easy Tour of Cape Town

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.

Table Mountain, Penguins & Cape Point Small Group Tour Cape Town

Wendy_H, Apr 2026

Well worth a long day!

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!

Beautiful day out

Great day out. Family friendly. Everything was run on time. A good amount of time was allowed between pick ups from the wineries by the bus and tram. The wineries were beautiful and so was the scenery. Perfect weather helped. Wine was lovely. If you want to eat lunch at the winery the make sure you reserve a table. They get very busy. The coach back to Cape Town was very comfortable and had wifi.

Great safari near Cape Town

James was great and very knowledgeable. He made sure that I was ok and made the perfect number of stops to stretch legs and have a comfort stop. The game drive was the most luxurious I’ve had. The vehicles were new and I was surprised to make a stop halfway through for a refreshing beverage and bathrooms. I just wish it was longer.

bondstvndstvaolcom, Nov 2025

A great taste of South Africa

It's a lot of travel in a mini bus but is worth the travel as you get a taste of a safari and the opportunity to see some of South Africa. The lodge is very comfortable, the food is great and they have great guides. It would be nice to have more time to enjoy the lodge but the trip is very well organised.

Nydia_R, Oct 2025

Excellent Experience!

This experience was A+ from the beginning to the end.Our guide and driver,Gherard,was amazing, very entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and looked like he loves his job. He made the long drives feel shorter. He picked us up in our hotel in Stellenbosch and dropped us at our next hotel in Cape Town.We made a few stops for coffee and food and to stretch our kegs.The drives in both reserves Botlierskop and Buffelsdrift were fantastic. We got to see the Big Five, and for an extra charge, we got to walk with the elephants, money well spent.They were 2 totally different experiences but both equally amazing.We overnighted at the charming Oakdene Guest House, where Daniel the host greeted us and treated us to a fantastic breakfast in the morning. They made reservations for us that night to have a delicious dinner at Ebony and Ivory. There were 8 of us at the van, and we got along so well, even though we all were from different countries. We ended up swapping phone numbers in the end. Overall it was the perfect experience. The drive was long but so worth it once we got there. Being amongst all the wildlife in their own habitat and not feeling like it was a zoo was priceless. Definitely recommend this tour.
