This trip is a must do when visiting Cape Town. It is a full day excursion, but, it is well worth spending a day booking it. A beautiful drive along the coastline, stopping off along the way for photos, interesting landscapes along the way to see, finally entering the Park, you stop at the Cape of Good Hope where you have the best photo op by the sign to show you were at the most southerly point in South Africa. Then to the top of the mountain on the vehicular to see the lighthouse, more photo ops from there. Then a stop at The Boulders to see the little penguins on the beach, and, pretty close up views of them for pictures. Lots of local artisans selling their goods at this stop, musicians, dancers, etc., are also there. Very picturesque, and, interesting day, for sure. A MUST DO FOR SURE!”

Recommended tour with your agency in Cape Town. Communicative guide (Mr Ashley), very good route chosen.”

We booked this tour for a Friday. Ashley showed promptly at 8AM, picked up the other four passengers (total of 6). Ashley was well-read and provided useful historical information about all the described tour sites. He was extremely hospitable. All-in-all a good tour. I would recommend. Ashley has a good voice, safe driver and shares information without being too talkative. He strikes the right balance.”

Great day! Weather was perfect and we saw so much ~ not a wasted minute. Loved the penguins and the fur seals but then wildlife is my passion. Lunch at the restaurant in the picturesque town (I forget the name) was delicious.”

A MUST tour when in Cape Town...You get to see all the best sights with a guide that knows the ins and outs of each place which can be difficult to park on your own. The guide we had was amazing in general. She was so incredibly knowledgeable and we learned SOOOOO much!!!”

This tour is a 'must do'. The guide was excellent and gave a knowledgeable commentary throughout. The pace of the tour was just right with sensible breaks during the day. The scenery was spectacular along the coastal route to the Cape of Good Hope and then back to the gardens in Cape Town. A small group of 7 people was perfect. I will visit Cape Town again.....I just love this place.”

An excellent tour with lots of stops. We didn't have much time at the Botanical gardens at the end, but overall it was a great trip. Watch out for the baboons though, don't carry any food on you at the Cape area.”

Tour was great.Enjoyed it all. Simon,s town was picturesque and the visit to the Penguins was great. So many !!! Our tour guide Ashley was very informative.

I would highly recommend this full day tour to Cape Peninsula. I had booked this tour before leaving for our African trip. Our guide was Karen who freelances. She was most professional, knowledgeable about Cape Peninsula which made the trip very enjoyable. I feel the tour was extremely good value as we saw a lot and I particularly like the Kirsthenbosh gardens.”
