Itinerary
Pick up at your accommodation in Cape Town and set off on a drive-by city tour to see the historical monuments and buildings in the city centre.
Then we will stop in the Bo-Kaap (Cape Malay Quarter) for a photo opportunity with the colourful houses. Your tour guide will explain the significance of the brightly coloured houses in the Bo-Kaap. Please be sure to remain close to your tour guide at all times and keep your belongings with you.
Explore the top of Table Mountain. Your tour guide driver will escort you to the top of the mountain to give you a guided tour. Please take note that this attraction is weather dependent. Please note that Table Mountain cable car tickets are not included in our tour price. Clients are required to purchase their own Table Mountain tickets to prevent delays at the entrance.
A photo opportunity will be on the program along one of the most scenic drives in the world. We will stop at the viewpoint to take these spectacular photos.
Stop for a viewing of the African penguins. For many of our Guests, Boulders Beach also known as home to African Penguins, is the highlight of this tour. Therefore, we will allow you enough time to discover the main colony.
An optional stop will be on offer at Seaforth Restaurant for lunch with scenic ocean views. However, should you prefer a different restaurant please inform your tour guide in the morning so that he can plan around this. Reservations are recommended for restaurants.
We will drive straight to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, where we will explore the Dias and Vasco Da Gama crosses. Remember to take your iconic photo behind the Cape of Good Hope name board.
From the Cape of Good Hope, we will drive to Cape Point, where we will have the option to either take an easy walk to the Cape Point Lighthouse or take the Flying Dutchman Funicular tram. Cape Point is also known as the meeting place of the Two Ocean Currents: Cold Benguela and the Warm Agulhas currents. Option to take the Funicular to the top of Cape Point lighthouse @R95,00 per person.
Our beautiful day comes to an end as we make our way back to Cape Town by means of the scenic Old Cape Road for drop-off at your accommodation.

Traveler reviews
Wonderful Personlized Tour
This was a wonderful private tour tailored to our interests. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about South African history in general and Cape Town history in particular. He changed the itinerary as we requested and gave us the extra time we wanted at Cape Point and at Boulders. Although the day started foggy and overcast, he turned it into a five-star experience for us!
Amazing guide
I did this tour with Talent. He was very informative of the country’s history, current issues and all of our tour locations. He was very patient as well. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you can get Talent as your guide:

An unforgettable day in Cape Town with an outstanding guide
We had an excellent one-day excursion in Cape Town with our guide, Sedick Petersen. The hotel pick-up was perfectly on time, which made the start of the day very smooth and stress-free. From the very beginning, Sedick welcomed us with such a warm, cheerful, and friendly attitude that all the tourists immediately felt comfortable and at ease. The tour itself was fantastic. Throughout the day, Sedick shared many interesting stories, historical facts, local events, and cultural insights related to each place we visited. He truly brought the experience to life and delivered exactly what you would hope for from a great guide. He was very dedicated and clearly wanted everyone to have the best possible experience. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and attention to detail made the whole excursion unforgettable. It was truly a wonderful day — highly recommended!
