The small group setting made the tour even better and we enjoyed getting to know our fellow tour mates. Overall we had a wonderful time and would recommend this tour to anyone hoping to see as much of Cape Town’s surroundings in one day as they can!”

Review of Cape Town’s private day tour to Table Mountain, Cape Point, Boulders penguins, Bo-Kaap, and Chapman’s Peak.

“It was a packed day moving from spot to spot. April was kind enough to ensure we optimized the day and missed long queues or tourist buses if there were any. It was tiring as most of the day was spent in the car but we managed to catch all the must see sights of Cape Town in a day. Very good for those with not much time in the city.”

“Nachdem der ursprünglich vorgesehene, deutschsprachige Guide ausgefallen war, ist Leticia (englischsprachig) eingesprungen. Ihr Englisch war sehr gut zu verstehen und sie hat auch nicht so schnell gesprochen, bei kleinen Verständigungsproblemen hat sie uns mit einer Übersetzungs-App weitergeholfen. Sie hat uns viele schöne Orte auf dem Weg zum Kap der guten Hoffnung gezeigt. Außerdem hat sie uns viel über Südafrika erzählt , gute Tips für besonders schöne Fotomotive gegeben, viele Fotos von uns gemacht und auch flexibel auf meinen Wunsch Muizenberg zu besuchen, reagiert. Wir haben viel gesehen und auch viel gelacht. Ein großes Dankeschön an Leticia für den wunderschönen Tag und ihre Herzli...”
