Itinerary
We will start this amazing experience with a pick up from your hotel at approximately 08H00 en route to the Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben Island for a 3 to 4-hour experience to see where Nelson Mandela and so many other civilians, politicians were incarcerated during the Apartheid regime. Skip the line of buying the tickets as this tour will have your pre-booked ticket ahead of time. Please take note that Robben Island Museum reserved the right to cancel any given tour at their own discretion. In the case of cancellation, you will be entitled to a full refund or an option to reschedule. Your guide-driver will not escort you to the Island as they have their own guides. You will be on the boat with other people. You will be given a full tour by an ex-prisoner.
Soon after returning from your Robben Island Tour experience, we will allow you to grab a sandwich or light lunch at own account at a nearby restaurant. Our next stop before we arrive at Table Mountain, we will allow you a 15 minutes stop for a photo opportunity in the Bo-Kaap ( The Colourful houses). From here, we will drive to the Cable Car station, where you will be given your return ticket by your guide. The guide will escort you for maximum experience. From here, we will drop you off at your residence in Cape Town.

Exploring Cape Town with a Personal Touch
We had a wonderful trip with our guide, Mena. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey and shared lots of interesting stories about Cape Town’s history and way of life. He’s very friendly and approachable, and we truly appreciated how open he was to all our questions.

History and Nature
Joel was an excellent guide, providing us with a wealth of information about Cape Town. He took us to each entrance gate, walking with us and explaining what each part of the tour would be like. On the way back from Roben Island, he recommended an excellent restaurant at Waterfront (Cape Town Fish Market) where we had lunch. After that, we headed to Table Mountain. He accompanied us to the top and gave us time to take photos and walk along the trails. On the way down, he also showed us the neighborhood of colorful houses at the foot of Lions Head Mountain. It was another tour of this incredible city that left us wanting to visit it again.
