Our guide Enoch was a pleasant young man with considerable knowledge of Capetown and a careful driver.

maureen_p, Jan 2026

The visit to Table mountain via cable car was a highlight followed by a visit to the penguins. Enoch our driver was very helpful avoiding the crowds and ques for tickets. I recommend the Cable car visit in the morning to avoid crowds and the heat of the day. If the weather is fine you can see for miles around Cape Town. It's worth mentioning the cable car itself, a very modern design and unique rotating floor which turns around 360° as the car travels smoothly and quickly up the inclined cable to in a few minutes to the top allowing everyone on board to have a 360° view all around the district. There is a restaurant, toilets and a comprehensive walking path around the table top. We had 90 minutes to enjoy the view and the walk. I highly recommend this as a "must see" experience. The penguins are a delight to see them on their nests in the sand and lining up along the waters edge with their young. We only saw the African penguins although there are four species that frequent the area. There are gift shops and a small market adjascent to the beach where you can try your hand at bargaining with the sellers and an icecream shop worth a visit.

Good if u can get a good guide

Raveena_S, Oct 2025

The tour itself was good in terms of itinerary. The wait at Table Mountain was too long. Also, our guide did not even take us to our final stop which was muizenberg Beach. He also didn't give us our complimentary water and when we asked to stop so we can get it ourselves, our guide got frustrated and said it takes up more time but reluctantly took us. Not impressed with the guide but we enjoyed the itinerary. We got the water ourselves. Considering we had come off of a long flight, we expected better service and a more understanding guide.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the itinerary, but we’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with the guide and certain parts of the day did not meet your expectations. Waiting times at Table Mountain can occasionally be longer due to weather and cable car queues, but we understand how frustrating that can be after a long flight. Your comments about the missed Muizenberg stop and the handling of your water request are concerning, and we’ll be addressing this directly with our team to ensure better communication and service in the future.
