A very interesting trip to Robben Island. Informative and shocking. An ex inmate acting as guide gave real colour to the experience. Pricing a real rip off thru Viator. Would be less than half the price for exactly the same tour buying tickets direct and getting uber to ferry
Not so nice Robyn Island Tour

The boat trip pretty cool, staff great, overall good.. the bus tour guide was just awesome, I think his name was Thenda or something, what a nice guy.. gone out of his way to make it a special memorable trip, however the Robyn Island tour.. Not so nice.. The guide Sipho absolutely rude, was rude to another guide in front of all other tourist which accompany tourist from Greece.. Not so knowledgeable, looks like just want to talk about himself and what his expierence was in jail. Hardly told us anything about Mandela.. Will do it again preferably not with a Robyn Island tour guide like Sipho This time around the trip was not worth the money spend.

Our tour guide was fantastic. We arrived late on a cruise ship due to the fog and he was very understanding and kind. Thank you for taking great care of us and going above and beyond.
Must do experience in Cape Town.

Amazing experience to witness history- having a tour of the prison conducted by an ex-prisoner was humbling. Our only issue was the wait for the boat across to the island- we were there at 12:30 for the 1pm boat but it did not arrive until 13:30 and we were 45 minutes late in setting off. We had to stand in a large queue for over an hour and that meant we had 3 hours rather than 4 for the trip.

The Robben Island tour was educational and filled with detailed information. The tour guide share historical and personal information having been imprisoned there. I highly recommend this tour.
