5.00This tour was absolutely everything I wanted and more! I was picked up by Faz and her driver right in time. Before the Robben island-part she showed me some other places regarding Nelson Mandela like the statue of nelson Mandela’s glasses in sea point. Faz also has a lot of information to share about anything in Cape Town. She is very well organized, I didn’t have to worry about the Robben island tickets, water and snacks. She had that all ready for me. After the Robben Island she took me to some other interesting places in Cape Town like the colored houses and a rooftop bar. She takes a lot of photos to capture the experience which is really nice. There’s also a lot of flexibility in this tour. Faz listens to what you want to see and what you want to know and adjusts the tour to your needs. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

5.00The guide was friendly and shared her personal story. She takes you to little known places and stops that enhance the Robben Island experience. Robben Island was a very emotional experience that I will never forget. I felt I was given personalized treatment and she even helped make special accommodations for me as I am disabled. Thank you for a marvelous experience.
Amazing tour with a sweet and cool local tour guide. Highly recomended for solo travellers.

5.00I had a great time with Faziela before going to visit Robben Island. She showed many interesting and peculiar things about Cape Town which only locals like her would know. Faziela is very kind, open-minded, and fun to hang around with. She took good care of me and made sure I had an awesome experience in Cape Town. I definately recomend booking a tour with her company if you are travelling alone.
Fascinating informative and fun
