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.

Tour hits up a number of big sites all in one day. Pickup from our hotel happened right when we were told it would, and we were quickly on our way after grabbing a couple other tour mates. There were heavy clouds on the day, but still such an amazing experience. Our driver and guide, Rodney, was knowledgeable, kind, and kept us all moving so we didn't miss anything and didn't have to rush at any of the sites. Highly recommend this tour.
Great tour with Danson

We were so happy to do the day tour with Candy and Zane. We stayed in Capetown for a only a few days and wanted to hit all the spots high in our list. We certainly did hit the spots with this tour and learned so much about the history, fauna and flora of the areas we visited. Candy and Zane were very organized and so wonderful to deal with. All was a breeze and a lot of fun. I would highly recommended this tour.
Awesome Tour
