Mark_L, Nov 2026

Great fun and great Guide

This tour pack soooooo much in and was great fun. Our guide Rodney was brilliant- it seemed he knew the whole of the Cape and everyone was his best friend including the whole tour group by the end. Loved cable mountain, loved Boulders beach and the Cape of good hope was stunning

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

Andrea_H, Nov 2026

A fantastic day with a super driver-guide

I booked my tour just the night before. Pauline was extremely responsive and sent information and updates. But the key player of the day and the tour was Kelvin, our driver. Impeccable service, he shared so much information, kept us entertained while safely driving us to the next stop of the tour. He even kindly jumped into the role of a photographer which is way beyond we could expect. If you book the tour, ask for Kelvin (if available), you won’t regret it.

You won’t regret it!

This experience is definitely for wine lovers! Me and my family had an amazing time and loved the pairings of both cheeses and chocolates. The food at the cellar was very tasty as well. But, pace yourself if you’re a light weight because there’s plenty of wine wine wine and bubbles bubbles bubbles

Great 1/2 Day Tour

This might be a half day excursion but you are going to see a lot! We had a wonderful experience with our guide Kayembe. He took us to see everything we had hoped to see and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop. He was timely and knowledgeable. A must do if you want to hit the main sites!

Sandra_B, Oct 2026

Great Safari. Wonderful guide!

I really enjoyed this tour. My tour guide picked me up at my hotel and we spent a lovely day together. Lynn introduced me to South Africa. I did the wine tasting for the experience, even though I rarely drink. The drive was beautiful! Aquila Wildlife Reserve met my expectations. The lunch was ok but I was fine with it. We saw all the major African animals except the elusive leopard. I enjoyed my guide so much that she was actually the highlight of my day. So fun!!

Cape Peninsula Full Day Tour in Private Car

Frank_P, Oct 2026

An Absolutely Unforgettable Day Exploring the Best of Cape Town

This was truly an amazing full-day tour and one of the highlights of our time in Cape Town! We saw so much of this beautiful, fascinating city from the colorful streets of Bo-Kaap to the breathtaking scenery of the Cape of Good Hope and the lighthouse, along with countless incredible neighborhoods, each with its own unique character and story. One of the most memorable experiences was visiting Boulders Beach to see the African penguins. Being able to walk along the beach and get up close to these adorable creatures in such a beautiful setting was truly unforgettable! What made this tour exceptional, however, was our guide, Jean Bosco. He was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of Cape Town was incredible and he brought everything to life with fascinating stories, history, and insights we never would have discovered on our own. As we traveled throughout the city and surrounding areas, he pointed out interesting neighborhoods, historic and iconic buildings, famous residents, and so many details that made us appreciate Cape Town on a much deeper level. He was engaging, informative, personable, and clearly passionate about sharing his city with visitors. We covered an incredible amount of ground without ever feeling like we were simply checking places off a list. Every stop and every part of the drive added something special to the experience. If you want to see the best of Cape Town in one day while learning about its history, culture, people, and breathtaking scenery, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It exceeded our expectations in every way and gave us memories we will treasure long after our trip is over. An absolute must-do when visiting 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.

Cape Town: Tandem Paragliding with the Experts

Rick_M, Apr 2026

You only live once, don’t let fear stop you

Honestly one of the best experiences of my life. I was a bit nervous as I have a fear of heights, scared of rollercoasters but this was one of the smoothest rides ever. We opted for the photos and videos which is a MUST. Our pilots were great and definitely made the experience all the better. Will not wait another 41 years to do this again.

WILDX 60min Atlantis Dunes Cape Town QUAD BIKE ADVENTURE + PHOTO

Glasco_M, Nov 2025

Definitely One of The Highlights of Our Busy Trip

Wild X Atlantis Quads - CPT Right out of the gate I’ll say that this was one of the best ATV tours our 5 riders have been on! Most of us had previously selected Cabo as being the best. The key difference being the height of some of the dunes, the beauty and the low level of dust in the air. We barely got dirty! Experience details: ⁃ It was very easy to book via Viator if you did so early. We had a few last minute add ons and they had trouble getting a confirmation before we left for the dunes. ⁃ Price was fair. They offered better promotions about 2 weeks before our date. ⁃ Transportation is not provided so you’re on your own. We called an Uber for what was a 45 min ride. Leave early! Be careful with the Uber rides because our driver told us we probably wouldn’t be able to get a ride back because of the isolated location and offered us an outrageous price to wait and return. We took our chances because he wanted 4x what we paid to get out there. We did find an Uber van that happened to be there afterwards and it was for a fair price. Phone signals can be iffy out there. ⁃ The beauty of the white sand dunes is off the charts. No, there is no water nearby so you won’t have that in your pictures. ⁃ Tour guide- was chilled and laid back. Gave us an adequate briefing based on our experience levels. There was no problem with getting your fun on in this high paced ride. We stopped maybe twice however because of ATV issues. Thankfully he was able to get them changed out very quickly. They also let you bring your phones along so you can shoot photos at various stops. He even offered to shoot motion video with one of the phons and it came out studio quality. ⁃ Paperwork will need to be filled out before you start. It is basically waivers of course. ⁃ No food or water is provided but I did see places at the meet point where you could buy things. ⁃ We would definitely recommend WildX and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. ⁃ Although the dust levels are at a minimum, I would definitely recommend bringing some type of face cover and nice fitting shades. There are face shields but I left mine up most of the ride ⁃
