Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
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 had a wonderful and beautiful experience with Candice and Zane. The admission fee was reasonable, and the time we spent there matched our expectations perfectly. We really enjoyed the fact that there wasn’t a large crowd. Candice provided informative, eye-opening, and very useful information, which made the experience even more meaningful. Zane was an excellent driver—we felt very safe throughout the trip. My favorite parts of the experience were the Cape Point hike and seeing the penguins. It was truly memorable
A perfect day with perfect tour guides, Candy and Zane!

5.00A perfect day. Candy and Zane were excellent tour guides. Candy shared so much information in a relaxed, friendly and fun way…..we learned a lot about the Cape and South Africa and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Not only was Zane a first class driver, his knowledge of dialects and his songs as we headed back to Cape Town were great fun too!
Candy and Zane Are Awesome Tour Guides!

5.00We joined a full-day tour to Table Mountain, Boulders Beach (to see the penguins!) and Cape Point, and it was such a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, Table Mountain was closed due to strong winds, so we weren’t able to go up. Of course, we completely understand that this depends on weather conditions and safety regulations — it just gives us the perfect excuse to come back! Everything else about the tour was excellent. Our driver Zane was extremely careful and considerate, and we felt safe and well looked after the entire time. Our guide Candice was absolutely lovely! She shared so much interesting information about all the places we visited, always with enthusiasm and deep knowledge. She also kindly took photos for us at several stops, which made the experience even more special. Both Candy and Zane even taught us a few words from some of the local languages, which added such a unique and meaningful touch to the day. It was truly a memorable experience, with breathtaking scenery and an amazing team!
Unforgettable Capetown Tour

5.00We booked this tour last minute and honestly can say, it has been one of the best trips we've had across the countries. Candice and Zane were the most welcoming tour guides/driver with so much knowledge to share. Even on the drive past all local areas Candice was giving us all local knowledge. Candice was able to answer all questions we had about areas not concerning the tour and it was greatly appreciated. 100% would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Capetown/SA. Mairead & Alisha
Thank you Candy for this...

5.00I can really recommend this tour. It was very well organized, communication was very clear especially at the stops. Of course you spend some time in the car but our lead Candy filled that time with lots of interesting information about the country, culture and history. Also our driver Zane brought us safely to all places and the whole group felt welcome. If you are looking for a guided tour to the cape and the other destinations, this is a very good choice for the price. It definitely kept the promises and even surpassed our expectations.
