Great trip, this was the only day of our holiday where it rained the whole day but this was absolutely the right tour to do on a rainy day, picked this one because they pick up outside the v and a area (we were at lagoon beach) and because you get to see the Nelson Mandela statue and towns as well as the wine, tram was great fun, guide was great and made sure we had a fun trip, worth going with this company if you want to see the winelands as a whole and not just the wine

We had the most incredible experience on our full-day private tour of Cape Town, and I cannot recommend it enough! With only one full day in the city, this tour was the perfect way to see all the main attractions in a short amount of time. Our guide, Danson, was absolutely amazing—he made the entire day seamless and truly unforgettable. The car was comfortable and impeccably clean, with complimentary water bottles provided, which was a thoughtful touch that added to our comfort throughout the day. Danson kept us on track to fit everything into our schedule, sharing his extensive knowledge about the city and its rich history along the way. He went above and beyond, taking fantastic photos of us at every stop and even arranging our dining table at both our lunch stop and the winery, ensuring a personalized and top-notch experience. Even though the Table Mountain cable car was closed for maintenance, the tour company handled it perfectly by substituting the visit with a trip to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. We appreciated that they made this adjustment, so we didn’t lose out on any part of the experience or money. Admission to all attractions was included, and the wine tasting in Stellenbosch was a wonderful highlight. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations in every way. It was well-organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. Danson’s professionalism and personal touch made the day so special. If you’re visiting Cape Town and want to see it all in one day, this tour is a must!

Josie was the most amazing host for us today. So knowledgeable, articulate and just generally lovely… we had the best day that we could imagine. Amazing, thanks. Andy and Natasha

Kelvin was our private guide for a spectacular day starting in Cape Town/Bo Kaap area with several stops on way to Cape of Good Hope/Cape Point. Kelvin is a warm and gentle young man with a good personality and sense of humor. An excellent photographer as well! We enjoyed him very much. Wonderful stops and great lunch spot!

We hired a driver for the day from Cape Archives and were thrilled with the service. They were immediately communicative and took in all we wanted to do for the day (including Caoe of Good Hope, Boulder Beach as well as several other stops before getting us to the airport for our flight), confirming we could get it all done and letting us know how long it would take. Our driver the day of (Tenashe) suggested several improvements to the flow of stops and provided great recommendations on how best to enjoy each one. He was patient and flexible, stopping for many requested photo opportunities as well as letting us linger longer in a few spots as we enjoyed the day. Fantastic service that I would highly recommend go my recommend!

Family of 2 adults and 2 kids We had such a great experience with the full day Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine tour with Natasha from Cape Archives tours! Visited 4 beautiful wineries (Tokara was the absolute highlight), rode the wine tram, had amazing lunch and enjoyed the spectacular views throughout the day. We all felt very welcome at every place along the tour and and really enjoyed the wine and chocolate pairing at Lanzerac (they kindly provided apple and grape cider for the kids to enjoy the pairing too). Comfortable air-conditioned minivan, smooth trip, and special thanks to Natasha who was such a knowledgeable host. We liked this so much that booked the Cape Town and surrounding region tour the next day.

Our guide Candace and our driver Mobee made this an amazing day. They were organized and knowledgeable and fun. We were blessed with a beautiful day and saw all of the sights as promised. Great value!

This was a very well executed day trip. We got to visit both Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Every winery we visited was beautiful and worthwhile. Our guide, Peter, was informative and interesting and enjoyable to be with. He interacted with us enough, but also gave us a little space to do our tastings. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who just has a day to explore the area’s wine region.

If you are visiting South Africa you need to use this company. They are excellent. Knowledgeable, professional well connected and excellent value for money. We are a family of 5 and had 3 days staying in Cape Town. I asked Cape Archives Tours to pull together a private tour for us showing us the best of the area. Our tailored itinerary included a Cape Town city Tour, a tour of the cape of good hope, (inc Boulders Beach, Seal Island) a trip to Franschhoek wine Tram and Stellenbosch wine tour and Robben Island Tour. What also set this experience apart was the amazing driver/guide Danson. He was so knowledgeable and so well connected he made everything so easy. Each day we were picked up in an immaculate car, lunch reservations were made at the best restaurants and the day ran like clockwork. I need Danson in my life at home!!!

We had a great day. Candy and Mabee were an excellent guide and driver combination, and were very happy to be flexible on how long we stayed at each of the stops. Lanzerac, Rickety Bridge (where we had lunch) and Grande Provence were top quality wineries with very knowledgeable and friendly staff; also very picturesque locations. Tokara up in the hills was also a spectacular location, although we did not rate the wine as much and the staff were somehow a bit less engaging. We enjoyed the time browsing in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, as well as the short tram ride which made an unusual interlude. We would recommend the tour without reservation.

The Franschhoek and Stellenbosch wine tour with Candy and Mabee was great! They were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. We tried delicious wine from 4 beautiful vineyards in during the day! I highly recommend this tour from Cape Archives Tour

This is the third time we have booked guests that visit us and have a long layover in CapeTown with Cape Archive Tours. Each time our guests have been very happy with the guides.

The wine tour itself was amazing with plenty of delicious wines and great value for money. However, the main highlight of the day was definitely our tour guide, Xochitle Botma! She was extremely friendly, funny and went out of her way to make us feel welcome in South Africa. On our way to the tour, she told us plenty of interesting things about our surroundings and clearly knew her stuff. If you go on this trip and you are looking to have a laugh and have a guide who genuinely wants you to have the best time ever, I would 10000% recommend you request Xochitle. The places we went were all fantastic and cosy, and I think it was great value for money. Thank you Xochitle for your amazing service on our tour!

We only had one day in Cape Town and wanted to hit as many spots as possible. This tour accomplished that. Our driver/guide Kalvin made this a real private tour. We changed the itinerary several times during the tour to fit our needs. Kalvin was very knowledgeable, personable and funny. We had a great time with him and recommend you ask for him.

This was an amazing day trip and I say that even though Table Mountain was closed for maintenance! Josie was great! Throughout the day she made tweaks to our schedule based on rain and wind so that we had a chance to see everything we wanted. She was well informed and easy to talk to. We scheduled 3 separate experiences with 3 different companies throughout our time in Capetown and if I had it to do over again I would have requested Josie for all 3!
