What a great way to tour the Capetown area! Our guide, Wesley, did a great job showing us the sites and educating us on its history and culture. We visited a half a dozen historical sites and park areas. Such beautiful scenery, and the penguins were adorable!

Felix is a wealth of knowledge regarding Cape Town. A bonus is, he has a van to take you around. Seeing all the different areas was wonderful. Cape Town and the surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful. Beware of one point.....Chapman's Peak Drive said included in admission and it was not. It was approximately $30 USD per person

Amazing way to see all of Cape Town in a day. We really didn’t have much time in Cape Town, but after this tour can’t wait to come back and see this part. Tour was great and flexible and we didn’t have much time so we wanted to skip some things. Really recommend

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Nimal! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you both, we heard lovely feedback from Wesley who was your tour guide on the day. We sincerely appreciate the feedback and cannot wait to welcome you back and show you the rest of what Cape Town has to offer. Safe travels!

Not worth the price

Michael_S, Oct 2024
This was a private tour in a regular sedan, that was too hot most of the time even with the AC blasting. There were no water bottles or sanitizer provided like the booking said, and our driver had a hard time communicating with us as it seemed English was a struggle for him. He was very nice, but we could hardly understand the things he was saying and were afraid to ask questions as we wouldn’t understand his responses. There wasn’t much educational aspects to this tour, it is very much just a private driver who will take you to the main tourist spots. Nothing luxury about this, but the price seems like it would be. You are better off renting a car for much cheaper and doing the drive yourself.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Michael, thank you for your feedback. We apologise for this experience and will use this to improve our service, we would like to issue you a refund for this. If you could contact us directly we can refund you as we cannot submit a refund via Viator at this stage. Thank you and safe travels!

Great tour. accommodating driver made the most of the time.

Carol_S, Mar 2024
The Driver/guide was very good at putting together a tour that met all of our "want to see" sights. As we have some walking issues over uneven ground and distance, he quickly made accommodations to better meet our needs which was much appreciated. Great custom tour!

LATE

Scott_P, Feb 2024
Supposed to start at 7am. 7:30 they sent message saying new driver would be en route due to illness. Said he was en route but not pick us up until 9am. We asked to cancel as we had later plans and they would not cancel. New drive never showed up until 9:30. Driver was pleasant and informative but very difficult to understand. He didn’t know what we were to do or where we were going. Very poor performance by the tour company.

Kindly let us know. As we are a small family business, we’d like to request that you kindly remove this review if that is okay with you as we have stopped getting new bookings from Viator and Tripadvisor.

Sketchy Tour Operator Acting as Aggregator

Harshwardhan_P, Feb 2024
We sensed something was wrong when the tour operator was not replying to our messages about contact details of the driver for the tour next day. On the day of the tour, we realised that the tour operator is acting as an aggregator by allotting bookings to "freelancers" not associated with the tour operator himself. Despite a confirmation of making a car seat available for the long drive, the "freelancing driver" arrived without the car seat and mentioned he was not informed. When we told him about the confirmation from the tour operator on Viator app, the driver kept insisting we connect with Viator because he is a "freelancer" and cannot speak to the tour operator. There were no water bottles as mentioned in the tour description. When asked to ensure availability of a car seat (as promised) and water bottles (as per tour description, the "guide/driver" stopped speaking to us and kept insisting we contact Viator. I did not feel safe going for a long journey in such a situation and got out of the vehicle. We complained to Viator who tried for many days to get a refund from the tour operator but he did not respond to them too. Finally, Viator issued us a full refund once we explained our circumstances and shared video proof of our exchange with the "freelancer". Thank you to Viator for helping but we do not recommend anyone else to book this tour.

Cancelled at last minute

Paul_R, Jan 2024
Operator cancelled 5 minutes before they were due to collect me citing staff sickness, making it impossible to get a replacement. Was the last day of our holiday so we missed out on a trip we'd been looking forward to for months. Operator issued refund quickly, but Viator customer service worse than useless (wasted an hour on webchat with them doing nothing to assist).

Disappointing

Stephen_H, Jan 2024
The driver was an hour late although we were contacted 15 minutes after our pick up time to say he would be late. There was no water in the vehicle and I had to ask him to stop at a shop so I could buy some. I also had to ask him to put on the air conditioning. The driver was knowledgeable about the areas we visited but it was nothing like the advert.

Successful Day!

Diane_S, Dec 2023
We had an excellent day with Wesley! Our collective accents made it a bit challenging to understand one another, but we joked about it. He was more than willing to accommodate our requests and itinerary modifications. Overall, an excellent excursion.

Una vergüenza

Judit_C, May 2023
No hemos podido viajar, yo contraté una excursión guiada durante todo el día en español y no me lo ofrecieron. Me dijeron que el guía se había puesto enfermo 30 minutos antes de la hora de la quedada y la solución fue que fuera en inglés. Obviamente no la hicimos porque si nosotros nos gastamos 185 euros en una excursión es para que sea en español. Una vergüenza, estoy esperando que me contesten para que me devuelvan el dinero.
