The Robben island tour was moving, very educational and impactful. And table mountain was a must-see!

Travelled in comfort
Long day but very worthwhile. Remy was a great guide and looked after us very well. We enjoyed the itinerary and Robben island was humbling.

Illuminates the struggle of Apartheid
This tour provided history and context for the apartheid struggle in South Africa. The tour guides were all former prisoners at Robben Island and their stories were very moving. Having read Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom made this tour especially meaningful, but was not necessary.

Poorly run tour, bring cash to tip the guides
The ferry was an hour late in leaving for the island and then the tour guide sent us back to the ferry an hour earlier than everyone else. We just sat on the ferry thinking that it was leaving any minute but all of the other tour groups were still sightseeing. We had less than 1.5 hours on the tour. To make it worse, the first stop on the tour was a gift shop and snack bar. The first guide on the bus came out and asked us for donations.
