What are people saying about Cape Town

Nickina_P, May 2026

Excellent private full day tour!

We had a few days in Cape Town, and wanted to see as much as possible in a short timeframe so this tour jumped out. Our guide was Johnny, he was awesome! Totally made the day for us and was flexible, provided us with extensive knowledge about South Africa, Cape Town and more.

Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries

Andrea_P, May 2026

Great Wine Tour

We had a great time on the wine tour. Our guide was funny, very informative and knowledgeable. It was great value for the cost. We had a snack board at the first vineyard with 5 wine samples, lunch at the second with 4 more wine tastings (this wasn’t included but we paid £8 for an amazing burger and chips). At the last vineyard we had 5 more wine tastings paired with chocolates. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great half day tour.

Very nice half day tour. Justin our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and kept us informed on what we were seeing around us as we traveled to the different stops. The penguins at Boulders Bay were fun to watch. The Cape of Good Hope was a very beautiful place lots of wildlife (ostrich, baboons, and other animals) were seen along the road as we drove around the park. Chapman drive had some wonderful scenery and the beaches looked amazing.

Worth every penny

This is a must day trip that will enlighten you on the southern coast filled with magnificent fews, wildlife, and African history. Talent is your man to take you through this memorable day. He speaks of the history from a local perspective and fills you with insight that only one that has lived and experienced can. No rush, it's your day, but monitors your time to do what you desire. Talent had a small Mercedes SUV that was very comfortable. After the short boat trip to seal island Talent took us to a local fish and chips restaurant on the docks where we had some delicious calamari, prawns and fish. It was so much fun learning about his home and he was interested in learning about our lives in the US. We were in Cape Town for only a couple of days so having a private guide and car made it possible to see the highlights of the cape coast possible. The experience was worth every penny. Do not hesitate to book this tour thru Beyond Africa--you won't regret it.

Stunning Winelands Tour

Stunning Winelands Tour with the Perfect Guide! Our tour of the Cape Winelands was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The entire region is stunning, offering breathtaking mountain views and picturesque vineyards that seem to go on forever. A huge part of what made this experience so special was our guide, Angelo. He is truly amazing, knowledgeable, caring, and the perfect host for the day. His vast knowledge of South African wine and the local industry added so much depth to every tasting. He went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and well-taken care of. If you are looking for an informative and beautifully paced day in the Winelands, I cannot recommend Angelo and this tour enough!

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

Wendy_H, Apr 2026

Well worth a long day!

This tour covers a lot of ground but is well worth it, especially on a warm sunny day like we had. It's also a great alternative to more expensive cruise tours to the same places. There were 17 of us in a large, comfortable van with AC. Gakeem was a skilled driver, and Ibby was an excellent guide (a native of Cape Town), friendly and very knowledgable. He shared interesting info and history of all sites on the itinerary. All was well timed without feeling rushed. Table Mountain was clear and panoramic (no cloud cover). We had to wait 30 minutes in line for the cablecar, but when we left the line was 2 hours! The drive along Chapman's Peak had gorgeous coastal views. Ibby took a group vote and chose a lovely spot with several options for lunch on your own. Cape of Good Hope had spectacular views of the cape and coastline. Along the way we saw baboons, a zebra and ostriches out in the wild. The penguins at Boulders Beach were a highlight! It was a full 10-hour tour but well worth it for all we got to see. I highly recommend it, but do yourself a favor and GET THE ALL-INCLUSIVE TOUR that includes tickets for Table Mountain, Boulder Beach, Cape Hope. It was quite a challenge for several guests to try and get tickets on their phones or at the sites where there are usually long lines. You'll save yourself the hassle and won't hold up the entire group!

Great safari near Cape Town

James was great and very knowledgeable. He made sure that I was ok and made the perfect number of stops to stretch legs and have a comfort stop. The game drive was the most luxurious I’ve had. The vehicles were new and I was surprised to make a stop halfway through for a refreshing beverage and bathrooms. I just wish it was longer.

Cape Town Winelands – Franschhoek Wine Tram & Stellenbosch Tour

Keila_S, Feb 2026

8/10 Solo travel friendly

This was a great tour 10/10 worth. Candy and Zane were great host. They were very accommodating. Tour starts at 8, mobile van with a/c and no large group. It is perfect for solo travelers. Lunch is not included but we stopped in a beautiful city before the wine tram for everyone to find a restaurant. Angel tears winery had to be my favorite but every winery has great tasting. Each one we spent a little less than hour there and candy stayed with us the entire time. I opted in for tasting included. Depending on your wine preferences it can be cheaper to opt out

Moira_B, Feb 2026

Fantastic trip

Table mountain was absolutely stunning well worth aI visit. The Cape of Good Hope was fantastic too we did the 30 minute walk across from the lighthouse quite easy going until the decent to the car park I don’t like walking down steep steps/slopes. Bolder beach was good too but far too hot to just stand n look at the penguins.

The animals are of course...

The animals are of course the highlight and we saw all of the big names except the nocturnal leopard. The staff made the bumpy roads into a running joke and a bonus experience for the traveler. However, If you're from a place where 55F is a pleasant day, and are visiting in the winter, bundle up anyway. The wind can easily make it feel another 10 degrees cooler. The staff clearly know this and have blankets for all, but my group was still pretty cold.
