Breath Taking Views
We were not sure how to see all of the sights in Cape Town, based on our short time there. This trip ticked all of the boxes in one day and it did not disappoint.
Our guide Natasha, was brilliant and co ordinated the day perfectly. She was very knowledgeable and made sure we didn't miss anything.
If you are short for time and want to experience as much as you can, this is the trip to book.

Dino is an amazing guide....
Dino is an amazing guide. Knowledgeable and always knows how to make everyone feel comfortable. He gave us tips for the harder parts and showed us some great scenic angles. We hiked up for the sunset and got to see the full moon too. Dino knew all the best spots to capture both.

Amazing Tour!
We had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Cape Point and taking in the beauty of Table Mountain! Seeing the penguins was such a delight, and the views from the top of the Cape of Good Hope were simply breathtaking. The scenic drive along Chapman’s Peak was another highlight—the views were incredible!
Although Table Mountain was closed due to the weather, we were taken to a beautiful viewing spot where we could still appreciate its magnificence. It truly is a marvel!
Our lunch stop at Cape Point Vineyards was the perfect treat. The food was absolutely amazing—definitely a 5/5! We highly recommend adding this stop to your tour.
A special shout-out to our driver, Gift, who was personable, professional, and knowledgeable. He safely transported us to each stop and provided interesting background and information along the way. His friendly personality and excellent service made an already amazing day even better!

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.

Great experience in many ways
It’s a great snapshot of the Cape Town region and all its splendor. Beautiful scenery, especially on a nice day. So many experiences. And bonus if Nathan is your guide. He’s fun, informative, funny, entertaining and interesting. He made sure it was a good time. A guide like Nathan can make all the difference in your experience.

My favorite tour
Last week my sister and I had an absolutely incredible time with Peter leading us through a day of wine tasting. The wines and scenery were fantastic, but it was really Peter who made the trip what it was. When he wasn’t acting as our personal photographer, he joked around with us and was also very insightful about life in South Africa. It was my favorite day of an incredible trip, and I can only highly recommend this tour!

Above & Beyond
I had one last day in Cape Town, and was trying to squeeze in a lot. This trip did just that and more. Getting even a half hour to roam around Stellenbosch was a trip highlight; but then two very different (but both excellent) winery experiences really brought it home. I'd booked really last-minute, and initially I was going to be the only person on the tour. The company reached out with options, including letting me make it a private tour. Another couple ended up booking last-minute, too, so it ended up being a trio; but kudos to the tour company for willing to probably run the trip at a loss just to make sure I got my half-day tour. Overall, this was absolutely stellar if you're looking to pack in a lot outside of Cape Town in a very constrained time frame. Highly recommend.

Delightful Day
Albert, our guide, was delightful and although the weather was a bit chilly we still had a great experience, learned a lot of history and had a very good day. The penguins are just adorable! Unfortunately the weather was a bit uncooperative as we were to go up Table Mtn but the visibility was poor so we couldn't. No fault of the trip.

Fantastic Tour for Wine Lovers
This was a wonderful tour of 4 established vineyards with wine tasting to include cheese and chocolate as well as a delicious lunch, which as a vegetarian I had plenty of choice. Our guide Donovan was incredibly welcoming, fun and knowledgeable about wines and their history and never made the day feel rushed at all. There were 2 other people on the tour from Australia and we all got on so well it really made the day one of our best whilst on holiday.

This was the best...
This was the best experience ever! Our day with Doney was truly amazing. Her incredible knowledge about the region made the day unforgettable for us and our kids. I initially thought the children might be bored with a wine experience, but Doney’s engaging approach made it enjoyable for them too. Doney truly shone and made the day special for everyone!

A Beautiful Tour and a Great Workout!
It was a fabulous tour. The guide was amazing and the location is breathtaking. It was quite a workout to do the two separate hikes - which are both totally worth it - but make sure you wear tennis shoes or hiking boots and clothes that you can move in. Such a fun tour!

Great workout :)
It was a fun experience and the dunes are gorgeous! We got lucky and the rest of the tour didn’t show up so it was just me and my friend. There were also no other tours around which allowed for a great ‘just us’ experience.
We tried sandboarding as well. It was tough! I do wish thought we could sandboard as part of the ATV experience. We left our bikes and had to walk to and from sandboard place which, in sand and 30C, is not fun.

Cape Town’s coastline, culture, and Table Mountain backdrop make it tempting to stay in the city, but there are a whole host of adventures to be had if you venture out.
