Well balanced day!

The Cape of Good Hope Helicopter with Stellenbosch Wine Tasting & Lunch private tour was a well balanced day. Everything was great, from the helicopter ride around the peninsla to the very last details of the incredible 3+ course lunch at Delaire Graff. On top of that, our guide, Peter, was kind, thoughtful and full with great conversation and knowledge to share. Well done!

The description of this tour did not...

<p>The description of this tour did not do it justice. In my mind I was thinking it was a helicopter ride around the Cape and then to the Winelands. This was not the tour it was so much more that by the end of the day we really felt that we got our monies worth. First a helicopter tour of Cape Town and the Cape point, then a Cheetah experience followed by a wine tasting an amazing lunch then a visit to the Lion Rescue and more wine tasting. Our driver Albert was exceptional providing facts and information throughout our tour. Overall a great experience.</p>
