Private/Customised Cape Peninsula and Penguin Colony Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Experience the scenic tour of one of the most beautiful places in the world if not the most beautiful with a born and bred Capetonian.
From the iconic Table Mountain, to the spectacular views of Cape of Good Hope, to the cute wild life of Boulders Beach, to more spectacular views at Chapmans Peak you will be stunned at the incredible beauty that the mother city offers.
Do this all in the comfort and luxury of an Audi A5 Sportsback 2022 model for an intimate and exclusive private tour that is customised to your personal preferences.
I have included the main stops of the tour in the itinerary but we don’t have to visit all of them and there are other great stops that can be included like Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, and Camps Bay.
This tour is for the adventure seekers who want to experience the beauty of Cape Town in an intimate, personalised setting instead of boring, inflexible groups!

5.00We had a great day with Ruan. We started at Boulders Beach near the penguins and then drove on to the Cape of Good Hope. Afterwards we went to Kalk Bay for a great meal and met some sea lions. Ruan designed the day completely according to our wishes.

5.00Hi Ru We joined a private tour in Cape Town yesterday. At the meeting point, Mr. Ru was searching for us in the crowd, which we truly appreciated. Fortunately, he had sent us a photo of the vehicle in advance, so we were able to spot it and wait nearby until he returned. Due to a delay in our cruise ship’s arrival, two other guests had missed their original tour and joined ours, making a group of four. Mr. Ru kindly adjusted the itinerary to include Table Mountain and even helped us with wine purchases. His flexibility and thoughtful support made the experience truly special. All participants agreed the tour exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful time. Mr. Ruーan Z — ARIGATOU! your Japanese friend N Yasui

5.00Ruan was an incredible tour guide and driver for my trip throughout the Cape Peninsula with my husband. He was very friendly and provided us with a lot of knowledge about each place we stopped at. Additionally, the customized tour to our time frame was a great personal touch. I would recommended booking Ruan to anybody looking for an amazing journey in Capetown.

5.00Our tour guide was fantastic! He showed us the best of Cape Town, Kalk Bay, Boulders Beach, and Cape Point, sharing great stories and local insights along the way. We loved exploring the charming streets of Kalk Bay, spending time with the penguins at Boulders Beach, and taking in the breathtaking views at Cape Point. Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area—he made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend!

5.00We had an incredible day exploring Boulders Beach, Cape Point, an ostrich farm, Kalk Bay, and Chapman’s Peak with Ruan. The tour was perfectly tailored to us, and Ruan was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Ruan originally is from the area of Stellenbosch and hence is very experienced with activities and things to do there. He picked us up in a nice car and drove us back home and we felt safe at all times! The penguins at Boulders Beach were adorable, Cape Point’s views were stunning, and the ostrich farm was very interesting as we had never seen anything like it (was also quite the spontaneous idea). Delicious cheese cake in Kalk Bay and a scenic drive up Chapman’s Peak were the perfect end to a great day. Highly recommend Ruan for an unforgettable and tailored Cape Town experience!
Great private tour!

5.00We first met Ruan after he picked us up on an Uber right from the waterfront. He helpfully informed us he offered private tours. After looking at his social media he very quickly booked our tour to cape peninsular for the next day. The overall experience was great. He was very knowledgable and passionate and Cape Town and showed us some amazing sights and attractions. The trip was very enjoyable and would highly recommend for private tours.

5.00Ruan has been an exceptional guide. We enjoyed a fantastic tour around the Cape Peninsula and the enchanting penguin colony. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience unforgettable. I only wish we had more time to join him for the vineyard tour as well. Keep up the amazing work, Ruan!
Amazing day

5.00We were visiting cape town and had just half a day available, nevertheless Ruan was amazing and planned the perfect day trip for us to enjoy as much as we could and tailored to our availabilities. We had a trip to the coast and penguin beach, and ended our trip with a nice sea-view lunch. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to plan a trip to the wine yards but we would love to do it next time!
