Great introduction to Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope

Excellent and quite comprehensive tour. It is very useful to cover a lot of terrain in Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope in one day.

Fun Day Seeing the Cape

As someone who had only a few days in Cape Town, the tour was the perfect way to see all the highlights in one day and also include Table Mountain. Everything from the pick up, the stops, and the information was very well organized. Lina and Kyle made a great duo who kept us on schedule while keeping it light with lovely quips and historical tidbits.

All Inclusive?

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service I received during my recent tour. While the tour content itself was acceptable, two major issues significantly tarnished the experience. My pickup time was officially confirmed as 07:05. I planned my morning and breakfast accordingly. However, I received a WhatsApp message at the very last minute informing me that the time had been changed to 06:50. Despite this sudden shift, I managed to board the vehicle by 07:00. Upon boarding, I was greeted with a visible attitude and a cold demeanor by the staff. To make matters worse, I witnessed the staff warmly greeting every other passenger after me with handshakes and "good mornings," while I was pointedly ignored. Being treated as a "problematic passenger" due to a scheduling change made by your company is entirely unprofessional and disrespectful. The tour was sold as an "All-Inclusive" package. However, I was forced to pay significant additional amounts for the following entry fees: • Table Mountain • Penguin Colony • Cape of Good Hope The term "All-Inclusive" implies that all core activities and entrance fees are covered. Charging extra for the main highlights of the tour is misleading and dishonest business practice.
