Cape point day trip with Paul, Wendy and Thando.

I did the Cape point day trip and booked directly at the City your bus office at V&A waterfront. Paul was the guide for the day who was assisted by Wendy and Thando was the driver. The team were absolutely amazing. They ensured to pick us and drop us on time, and Paul kept us engaged throughout the trip. He shared a lot of insights into Cape Town and the sites we visited, and even arranged a walk at the cape, which was breathtaking. They gave us ample of time to enjoy the sites on our own. I will definitely book this trip again with my family next time, as I know these guys will ensure we have a great time. Do not think twice, the team is amazing and the sites and landscapes are simply beyond words.
