The guide on our bus was outstanding!,had a story relating to every single person's nationality and how they had shaped south african/robben islands history and then passing you on to a former inmate who obviously spent some time with Mandela and gives you insight in to the man he was!,the trip up table mountain unfortunately for us was pretty cloudy and a bit cold but still the views were spectacular, on a bright day it would be obviously even better,Bo Kaap is also worth it for the splendidly painted houses with murals and history which our driver (Samuel) was well versed!
