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
Fantastic day!
Ben the driver and Nathan are better than first rate. Their attention to detail was perfect! Only problem was that they were Arsenal fans!
Great Full day tour in and around Cape Town’s must see’s
Gordon was an amazing and entertaining guide, we had great time! We saw table mountain, boulders beach, cape point and a lot of little stops along the way. Great if you want to see a lot in a day
I will definitely come back! It was absolutely worth the price!
It was a wonderful trip with many great experiences with a wonderful group and a competent guide, Mena. He told us interesting and funny things about South Africa and Cape Town, and he did not shy away from discussing some sad chapters of the past. The only thing that truly dampened the experience was that we could not visit Table Mountain due to heavy rain in the afternoon. I received the refunded money, hopefully next time!
The beauty of the Cape :)
We had an amazing time with Sedick Peterson as our guide. He spoke 7 languages and was very knowledge about South African history and current affairs. He shared many beautiful experiences and stories of Cape Town and South Africa. We loved the different locations from Table Mountain, Penguins at Simon's town, Cape Point and honorary mentions were Bo kkap, the baboons and ostrichs. The views were beautiful and Sedick made the experience at each location even more memorable. Definitely a day well spent and recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Sedick... you will have an amazing time :)
He talked a lot about the...
He talked a lot about the local area and what we were seeing. The penguin experience was overrated because of our past experience but is you only saw penguins at a zoo I’m sure they would have enjoyed the experience.
