Hi there! I am your local Cape Town guide, and I cannot wait to take you on this tour for I have many stories about the Cape of good hope that I would love to share with you.
Pickup will be from your hotel before we head to Bo-Kaap, where the brightly colored houses tell stories of Cape Town’s rich cultural past.
From there, we will head along one of the world's most scenic coastal routes. Expect jaw dropping views as we slowly make our way to Cape of good hope. This area is part of the world's richest plant family and optional hikes will be offered to you.
We will also explore a few charming seaside towns. In Hout Bay, you will have the option to take a short boat trip out to Duiker Island to see the Cape Fur Seals. Then in Simon’s Town, we will meet the famous African Penguins at Boulders Beach.
On our way back to Cape Town, depending on the road traffic flow, we will pass through Muizenberg Beach, known for its colorful beach huts and surf vibe before ending the day at your hotel.

5.00we were pickedup at our hotel a little earlier so we didn’t have to wait so long to get on the tafelberg. good idea. the whole day was great, we saw penguins - my personal highlight and learned a lot about capetown and the surroundings and the people here. Candy was so charming and full of information, We couldn‘t have wished for a better guide. and Zain drove like a king - especially Victoria road (a road of great beauty). all in all a great day.
Information overload!

4.00Amazing trip. Very well arranged. Our particular guide was very bossy and insisted everything be done his way. He also did not stop talking fir even one second for the whole day. A few quiet times would have been welcome. Also he forgot that some people have jet lag and are tired so should be allowed to nap between stops if they want to. The company went out of their way for us when we left an item behind so that was amazing and for which we were very thankful.
