Traveler reviews
A day with views and Penguins.
Horea, our guide and the other bus staff were friendly and organised. They made out day flow with ease .
Get out of the city for a day
A great way to get out of the city for the day to see the beautiful natural countryside. Horea, our tour guide, made the trip educational and entertaining, while also clearly explaining logistics. Thandu was a great driver. Ruth was friendly and accommodating when making sure we had tickets for all the right experiences. Would recommend for families with children old enough for a few hours off and on the bus, or for folks looking for a lighter walking day.
Cape of the Good Hope os amazing.
Very amazing tour. Guide and Driver were Very profissional and informative. Very detailed info were provided during the trip to Cape of good hope. The Guide was always very Sharp with the timing. It realy was a Very plasure tour.
Fun penguin tour. Totally worth it.
Horea was a great guide, was very knowledgeable and pointed out lots of interesting spots. Ruth was super kind and was able to help us with getting our tickets sorted. The driver, Thandu, was a very smooth driver and gave us one of the more enjoyable drives during our stay in Cape Town.
Very nice
