What To Expect
Cape Town Central
We offer free hotel pickup and drop-off from any accommodation within a 10km radius of Cape Town city center, between 7:00–8:00 AM. Your exact pickup time, professional guide’s name, and vehicle details (including license plate) will be sent to you the day before via WhatsApp or email. You’ll travel in style and safety aboard a luxury Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Toyota Quantum GL, equipped with air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, USB ports, reclining leather seats, parcel shelves, onboard fridge, and cold bottled water. Your day begins with a short but insightful Cape Town city orientation tour. As we drive through the vibrant CBD, your guide will point out major landmarks like Bo-Kaap, the Castle of Good Hope, Parliament, District Six, and the Company’s Garden, sharing powerful stories of the city’s colonial, apartheid, and cultural past—giving you a richer understanding of the Cape’s beauty and complexity.
Bo-Kaap
We begin with a stop in the Bo-Kaap, Cape Town’s most photogenic and culturally rich neighborhood. Stroll through the cobbled streets surrounded by brightly painted homes in every shade of the rainbow—a true Instagram hotspot. But Bo-Kaap is more than just pretty houses. This vibrant area is the heart of the Cape Malay community, whose ancestors arrived from Indonesia, Malaysia, and East Africa during the Dutch colonial era. Your guide will share deep insights into the area's Islamic heritage, call to prayer, mosques, and the enduring legacy of its people in shaping Cape Town’s multicultural identity. Discover how Bo-Kaap played a powerful role in anti-apartheid movements, and learn about the traditions, food, and music that still echo through its colorful streets. It’s a must-see for any traveler seeking a meaningful connection with the city’s past and present.

5.00Very interesting and intense trip with nice guide Wilson. We managed to see a lot in one day. Good for someone that has short stay in town.
Chaotic and unprofessional

1.00Having been told we must be at the pickup point at 7:05 am and that pickup from our hotel could not be arranged, we arrived by taxi after a hasty breakfast, to find that the guide was late. We then spent an hour touring other hotels further away than our own to pick up other clients (and to take one of them to a money change office), until the minibus was uncomfortably crowded. The guide then took us to Bo-Kaap, which was not on the itinerary. His commentary on this and the history of the city was not of a professional standard. He then went to yet another hotel to pick up yet another client, even though there was plainly no room in the vehicle. At this point we and some other passengers decided to abandon the tour. We are thoroughly dissatisfied and consider that a full refund is due, but our complaints have so far received no response either from Viator or the tour organiser.
Beautiful fast pace way to see everything in a day.

4.00This is a great tour for those who like fast pace. It delivered on all promised but was a little rushed . Group size was manageable but Guide has to keep reminding us on time at each location. Must purchase tickets ahead of time for an addional 1400 rand (approx.) I would recommend if seeing it all in one day is right for you. Drive is scenic on curving mountain roads.
Good tour but weather dependant

4.00Overall it was a.good day with our guide being very informative It would be much easier having the the national park fees included in the price. The site to navigate to purchase tickets as a one off overseas visitor are onerous and cumbersome. There's also no refunds with 2 of them. Luckily we got a refund for the cable car as it was too windy to visit. The stops and highlights were good to see. However cape point was disappointing for wildlife. We saw one ostrich couple and nothing else. We didn't even see a baboon. The weather likely played a part but it is still disappointing there was no wildlife.
Excellent guide

5.00Our guide Sylvie was excellent -lots of knowledge & patience explaining the areas we visited Not so good -Table Mountain closed due to high winds -no individual’s fault but still annoying. Perhaps a contingency plan could be put in place. Think 3 of us out of 18 on the coach bought tickets for individual places even though we’d been asked to. As we’re only in CT another two days & one is already booked out not sure we will get able to use our ticket -seems wasteful and avoidable

5.00The entire day was well spent with Nomasakhane (guide) and driver. We visited all the places mentioned in the article and Noma was great at explaining the history of each point of interest. Would highly recommend for anyone with a short amount of time who want to visit each of the key locations of interest.
Not just a city tour

5.00This was a well organised and interesting experience. Ody the guide and Kyle the driver were friendly, knowable and happy to stop, take questions or be flexible with the groups interest. I learnt so much about the people of Cape Town and experienced the beautiful of the city. Honourable mention was the lunch stop which was delicious and stunning views.
Incredible way to spend a Cape Town day!

5.00Table Mountain is an iffy proposition this time of year. Strong winds shut the venue down for several days. Our guide was extraordinary. Very knowledgeable, professional and personable.
