What are people saying about Cape Town

Brandi_L, Jun 2026

A full day around the cape

Candace and Lita were amazing. We saw so much of the city in only one day. We felt safe and met so many wonderful people. Candace was also great about moving things around based on the time and lines. She wanted to make sure everything fit into our day. We learned a lot.

Half Day Boulders Penguins and Cape Point Small Group Tour

Stephanie_C, Jun 2026

Fantastic Half Day Tour!

This tour is great for all of the Cape must do experiences. Our guide was fantastic; Ibby knew so much about the history, the environment, and helpful information that made our experience truly special. He was also funny and very kind. We had an amazing tour!

Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch

Carol_M, Jun 2026

A Highlight of our Visit to Cape Town

May 2026, we had a fantastic day with our driver and guide, Angelo. He was very friendly and interactive with our entire small group. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting with cheese and chocolate and the scenery while travelling was spectacular. Angelo was obviously well versed in wines and wine making and his fun and respectful personality made for an unforgettable day. We would highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky you will have Angelo as your guide.

All-Inclusive Private Tour: Table Mountain, Cape Point & Penguins

Alan_W, May 2026

Full day Table Mountain tour

First of all our tour guide Mireille was fantastic and she kept the whole group on time for each venue we were at or headed to. The experience of Seeing Table Mountain and The Cape of Good Hope along with the Penguins was amazing. I’d recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see all these amazing sights. It is a long day but so worth it!!!

Big Five Safari and Breede River Valley Guided Day Trip

Melinda_E, May 2026

Excellent Tour Operator...Opt for the Private Safari Vehicle if available!

Excellent communication from the tour operator. We recommend this tour provider because they facilitate you pre-paying for your safari to guarantee there will be a seat for you timed with your arrival at Aquila. We opted for the private safari vehicle, and thought it was worth the up-charge. We really enjoyed the wine/coffee stop on the way to Aquila. It nicely broke up the drive, and allowed us to get to know the other couple in our transport van (NOTE: private safari vehicle does not mean private transport from/to Cape Town). Our only wish was that we had more time for the buffet lunch...we were only allowed 45 minutes for bathroom and buffet before our safari departure (and with multiple safari vehicles going out at the same time, there were some lines). You should be aware this is a small game reserve with not a ton of animals. We were aware of this going in, but due to flooding rains during our visit, all of our other safari tours along the Garden Route were canceled, so we opted for the only day trip available from Cape Town. We saw some things on our private safari vehicle the other couple in our transport van did not see on their group vehicle. Not sure if it was just timing or if our private driver was able to alter his driving path better to see more. Our tour transport driver James/Jamie was on time, informative, and pleasant company on the journey.

Fortune_I, May 2026

Not really fans of wine...

Not really fans of wine but my partner and I would rate this experience a 20/10….. The fun part of it was meeting and interacting with different people❤️ loved it fr our guide although I can't remember his name was perfection…. Thank you to him he was in the rain with us that day (6th may 2026) and did it all smiling❤️

Private Tour: Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point from Cape Town

Sheryl_K, May 2026

This was a very complete...

This was a very complete and awe inspiring trip. Japhet, our guide and driver, was very knowledgeable and helped us learn a lot learn a lot about Cape Town and South Africa history and animals. He was very kind and very professional very conscientious. He was even ready for the rain that we encountered multiple times throughout the day. We loved our experience!

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!

Full-Day Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town

Sara_D, Apr 2026

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.

Shark Explorers

chrisspearing, Jan 2026

An Unbelievable Experience

The opportunity to get in to a cage whilst sharks come to within 6 inches of your face is an unbelievable experience. We are so glad that we did this activity and would highly recommend to anyone who loves nature and these wonderful creatures. Sharks all around the cage within 5 minutes for the whole time we were there.

Cape Town Day Safari – Aquila Game Reserve with Lunch & Park Fees

Cole_Q, Aug 2025

Nice Easy Way to do Safari-Like Experience

Aquilla is a private game reserve a couple hours drive from Cape Town. It is also a hotel/resort and spa. This Viator tour provided a private car ride to and from the reserve with Isaac who was a friendly, courteous driver who share a lot of information with us during the drive about South Africa, Cape Town, history and local points of interest. During the 2 hour ride on the safari truck, we saw elephants, lions, rhinos, zebra, African buffalo and other wild life. This is a good way to see these animals within easy reach of Cape Town.
