Half Day Boulders Penguins and Cape Point Small Group Tour

Robert_C, Oct 2026

Great half day tour from Cape Town.

This was a great tour to the Cape of good hope and southern cape. Also a visit to the African penguin colony. Our guide/driver was Sedick Petersen he was great and knew the best order to visit each site to miss the crowds. He gave us information about every place we drove through and visited. There was only 5 of us on this tour which made it very sociable and we had a good laugh mainly lead by Sedick which made the whole tour more enjoyable. I can highly recommend this Half day tour you get to see everything and have enough time at each stop to see everything.

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

Selina_D, Oct 2026

A Great Day!

We had a great day with Rico and Naazeem. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The wines were great to! Lunch was excellent. We got dropped off and quickly realised we'd left a phone and glasses on the tour bus! We contacted Viator, via Whatsapp who immediately contacted Rico. Our items were delivered back to us within 45 mins....relief and excellent customer service by all concerned. Highly recommend this company and guides.

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

Sarah_P, Sept 2026

This was an awesome tour,...

This was an awesome tour, our guide Candy was giving information non-stop throughout the entire day, which we loved as it was so informative! This is not just a penguin excursion, there is a small city tour, a mountain hike (about 45 min, not too strenuous as a lot is flat), a boat ride to see the seals (extra coat and optional, but totally worth it), and of course the last stop to see the adorable little penguins themselves. 10/10 would recommend.

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

Joseph_B, Sept 2026

Great Tour!

This was an excellent group tour. The size of the group was 12 people and we used a sprinter van. The driver / guide was Gordon. He was excellent. The tour lasted exactly ten hours. It was worth every penny and we saw all the major sites. In my opinion, it is easiest to book the all-inclusive version of this tour in order to not have to worry about trying to purchase tickets. It made things stress-free. The lunch choice was a high-end restaurant and the food was great. The photos I took on this trip was priceless, and being in the company of others on a group tour is always fun. I had a great time!

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.

Cape Town Winelands – Franschhoek Wine Tram & Stellenbosch Tour

Diego_F, Aug 2026

Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine tour

Simply put this was great. Our guide, Joseph, was awesome. He's friendly, very knowledgeable about the area, the history and the wines and he just makes you feel comfortable throughout the who day. We had a small intimate group for this tour which made it better as we bonded really well. For me, Lanzerac Wine Estate near Stellenbosch was the standout. With each of the wines, I chose to have chocolates with each wine. They paired the chocolates to the wine very well. The history behind the wines and the farm made it more real. Tokara wine estate is a very modern place which added a different ambience from Lanzerac. We then headed to Franschhoek and Leeu estate where we had lunch and another selection of wines. This was a good place to stop. As we were in a small group, we were relaxed, chatty and the lunch was good. After that we jumped on the Franschhoek wine tram which is ok. I'm judging it harshly as I am from Melbourne. But as the Franschhoek wine tram serves the wine estates, its a nice thing to travel on. We stopped at the Franschhoek Cellar for our final tasting. For me personally, Lanzerac Wine Estate was the pick of the bunch. I'm no expert on wines but I can taste the difference in each of them. Ultimately it was Joseph who made our day enjoyable. Aside from his knowledge, his personality filled the car and made us feel comfortable and we had a lot of laughs. Thanks mate!!

Joseph was a great driver and gave us information as we went over. He took care of getting the tickets for us and making sure you were in the right place and giving us ideas about the layout of the V&A atea after we were done. Of things to do. The tour of the island itself was fabulous. It was a bus ride, and then we sat and heard from an actual gentleman that had been a prisoner there. Overall, just a wonderful educational experience.

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.

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 ⁃
