What are people saying about Cape Town

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

Alison_M, Sept 2026

Don’t miss this fantastic wine region tour!

Our guide Angelo was fantastic! He wanted to make sure that all guests enjoyed themselves and had fun. He was knowledgeable, personable and funny. He really tried to make the trip as interesting and worthwhile as possible. We stopped at a terrific winery for wine and cheese pairings, then had an amazing lunch with lovely wines, then had wine paired with chocolate, and sparkling wines after that. This region was so beautiful and well worth the trip out of Cape Town. The group of guest was lovely as well, representing 5 different countries so that was a lot of fun. Highly recommend this tour, it was awesome and well worth the money! Also, I left my jacket on the bus by accident and contacted the company via WhatsApp, and they dropped it off at our hotel the next night! This company goes above and beyond in all aspects.

Cape Peninsula Full Day Tour in Private Car

Felix made this the best day of our trip — book him!

Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. We're a family of four (kids aged 15 and 11) and this private tour was the highlight of our time in Cape Town. Felix was exceptional. He was attentive every single moment, completely flexible with what we wanted to do, and never once made us feel rushed. He gave us great recommendations along the way, was wonderful with the kids as well as with us, and doubled as our personal photographer — we came home with pictures we'll keep forever. He stayed with us right to the end and even added an unscheduled stop just to make our day better. That's the kind of thing that turns a good tour into a great one. He's polite, genuinely knowledgeable, and his English is clear and easy to follow — a real difference from other tours we've done. The vehicle was large, brand new and spotlessly clean, with plenty of room for all of us. The scenery speaks for itself, but having the right guide is what makes it unforgettable. If you're considering this tour: book it, and ask for Felix. Worth every cent.

My husband and I...

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this wine tour! Every part was seamless. The wineries were beautiful and the views while driving from each point were so stunning. Our guide and our driver were so great! We would definitely recommend to anyone. Well worth the money!

We felt like this tour...

We felt like this tour was definitely worth our time. We aren’t typically always guided tour fans but the amount we covered in this tour was well worth it. It was paced very well without rushing and gave us the right amount of free time at good pacing. Our guide was very knowledgeable, personable and respectful. I would recommend this to others.

A great day with Namhla!

I had an amazing day on this Cape Archives tour with Namhla and Zane. Nana was an excellent guide, who knew every location and taught us so much throughout the journey. She had recommendations for helping us beat the crowds too. This experience was such a good value for the amount we saw, and I enjoyed the smaller group, so we all got to chat more. Perfect for a solo traveler like me. I highly recommend this tour!

Robben Island Half Day Tour with Pre-Booked Ticket from Cape Town

MARK_S, Sept 2026

Excellent Half-Day tour if Robben Island

Excellent tour if Robben Island, every moment was informative, including videos on the boat to and from the island, a general bus tour of the island narrated by a younger guide, and an in-depth tour of the prison led by a former political prisoner. He knew people wanted to see Nelson Mandela’s cell so he made sure to let us know we were going there, but we got great details on life for the prisoners, including an insane racial hierarchy on the quality of food. Very sad that many of the ex prisoners still seem to struggle even after the end of the apartheid regime. The boat logistics were handled smoothly and professionally.

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

Paul_E, Sept 2026

Great tour - covered so much in one day

Great trip, well planned, excellent guide (Thomas), good timings in each location. Great way to see a great deal in one day from Cape Town. My only criticism was that we had to arrange our own tickets for the various excursions within the tour , eg table mountain cable car, all of which took time and effort and since we all did all the trips I could not see why the company didn’t just book them and charge them in the ticket price, which I would have found easier and more transparent.

Margaryta_S, Aug 2026

Great half-day tour with...

Great half-day tour with Ejide. I only had a few hours left before my flight, so this was a perfect way to make the most of my last day. We managed to see a lot in a short time. The penguins were definitely the highlight for me, but we also saw many other animals and visited some really interesting places. On the way, Ejide gave us a very interesting overview of South African history, which added a lot to the experience. Great tour and a lovely way to finish my trip. Thanks, Ejide!

Memorable Experience

A visit to Robben Island is not for the faint of heart. Stories from former inmates who experienced daily and cruel torture and deprivation of basic human rights for years brought tears to my eyes and fellow travelers. For those who want learn from the bleak period in South African history you should not miss this opportunity when you visit Cape Town

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.

1 Hour Coastal Catamaran Cruise from Cape Town

Angel_M, Mar 2026

Blissful experience!

Very beautiful experience with great people. The whole crew is so friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our ride 🫶🏾 the booking process was very smooth especially with the app, what a lively atmosphere at the V&A I wish we arrived 3 hours earlier and had some brunch there and take photos. I’d advise a morning or midday booking as the CT wind can be very bad especially in the late afternoon . Overall it’s a 10/10 for me shem. Location, ambiance, experience!! Just amazing

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 ⁃
