First, the tour itself is well worth it, so definitely go. The problem was that there was no record of my tickets and all I had was a voucher from Viator that needed to be redeemed for tickets. The location Viator sent me to in order to redeem didn't exist, the meeting location was also incorrect, and no one answered when I called the phone number of the tour operator (and name of operator wasn't provided by Viator). When someone finally answered, only 15 minutes before ferry took off, they didn't have any reservation for me and nothing from Viator. It wasn't possible to buy tickets at the museum because they were sold out. Fortunately, there were a couple of open seats on the ferry (guess why) so I was able to buy them and go on the tour (which again, I would recommend). I will note that Viator refunded my money after I contacted them.
A visit to Robben Island will provide incredible insight on the transformation of South Africa from apartheid to democracy. You will appreciate that the transformation is still underway.
