About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- timothymU6475JR0 contributionsUnforgettable ExperienceI had an absolutely amazing time on the Small Group Tour to Boulders Beach Penguin Colony and the Cape of Good Hope. Lerato and the crew were exceptional hosts, ensuring the entire trip was smooth, informative, and full of fun. Lots of fascinating insights were shared, the trip was breathtaking— the guide's knowledge of the history and scenery made it even more special. The small group setting made it feel personalized and relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to engage and enjoy the sights at our own pace. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Cape Town’s natural beauty! Thank you, Lerato and team, for a memorable day!Written November 21, 2024
- ClaudiaM46380 contributionsGreat experienceWe saw a whale mother with her Baby and this was very moving!!! Especially our driver Mazenga was wonderful and very thoughtful. Thank you for the great experience!Written November 19, 2024
- celinemcguigan140 contributionsWonderful experienceThis was an amazing tour that packed in so much in one day. There was only 8 in the group and we were picked up promptly by Jeff, our guide for the day. Jeff really added to the tour by giving a run down or local history intertwined with his own experiences. The views as we drove around were stunning and Jeff navigated his way through tight coastal roads and city traffic with ease 😁 I would 100% recommend this tour if you want to hit a few of the tourist attractions all in one day and don’t want to worry about driving yourself.Written November 2, 2024
- 919marenb0 contributionsdifferent trip but great serviceWe booked the Tour very spontaneously on the night before and were pleased that it got confirmed right away. Unfortunately due to the late booking there was not space on the boat in Hermanus. This caused the agency to come up with an alternative trip. the trip was overall shorter but we were still able to visit the pengiuns, see seals, get some Souvenirs and having a 3 hour wale watching tour which pleased us with many Wales in Simons Town. Although we were not pleased with the miscommunication on the night before about our destinations (we desperately wanted to go to Hermanus and would have postpone the trip if we would have known that the boat was booked out), the customer service was extremely understanding and thankful for pointing this out. With the hope that changes in the plan will be communicated upfront in future, I can only recommend the trip :) I guess booking a few days upfront and asking about the details will ensure that you have the trip you wished for, as they are very friendly.Written October 29, 2024
- Y9251XMkeithb0 contributionsSadly cancelled due to weather and a fireThere was nothing wrong with the arrangements and the pick up, but the Island tour was cancelled at short notice due to bad weather and the mountain tour was cancelled due to a fire in an electric car battery in their garage. We can’t really fault the arrangements but we can’t comment on the tours.Written October 28, 2024
- D1795EPdavidv0 contributionsIconic memoryWent together wit my girl to experience these iconic sceneries in/around Cape Town. A group of 12 Picked & Dropped all at their own hotels. Lead by a super friendly and above all very knowledgeable tour guide from Congo, named Albert. This guy really knows his facts and is a very reliable driver too, making this memorable tour the day we were hoping for. Thanks Albert!Written September 26, 2024
- I3635SJangelap0 contributionsFlexible and creative guide made up for missed Table MountainJean-Marie was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and took very good care of us. Table Mountain was closed, so that was disappointing, but he suggested Kirstenbosch Gardens instead and provided an excellent tour of the gardens as a substitute.Written September 17, 2024
- zozukoj0 contributionsBest trip in the city !Had the most phenomenal and memorable experience on this trip . I went alone but I enjoyed each and every moment because Armando was very accommodating , he was communicating with us throughout the whole journey, also shared very valuable information about Cape Town . I got to see the most beautiful sights while learning more about the most historic city. I also got to see the cutest penguins and seals for the first time ,I highly recommend this trip it's not only fun but also very relaxing and it's enjoyable whether you go alone or with family . Armando's services was really exceptional , he made this trip fun and worth it !Written August 4, 2024
- ElisabethP7230 contributionsGreat tour and great guide!What an easy and interesting travel day! Jean-Marie was our guide and he picked us up and dropped us off right from our hotel! He had so much energy, excitement, enthusiasm, that you couldn’t help but get super excited for the day. We began with a trip to robben island where we took the ferry and then explored the island on a guided bus tour and then got to have a tour of the prison told by a guide who was formerly imprisoned on the island! Fascinating! Then we opted to shop instead of eat lunch and Jean-Marie was happy to accommodate! Then we traveled up to table mountain on the cable car and just as we were about to leave the clouds parted and we were able to see the majestic sights of Cape Town! Truly an amazing tour and we felt very well taken care of!Written July 16, 2024

Our driver was nice, prompt and friendly. He picked us up at 7am at the hotel in Cape Town. When we got to the park we were supposed to be there at 7am and there was no booking for us.
I managed to talk my way around the receptionist who did not want to let us go on the safari because we missed it. Terrible communication from the tour operator.
We missed most of the breakfast because we were late arriving- not our fault or the drivers- it was the tour operators instruction. There was very little left on the buffet.
They did not want to let us have lunch.
Went to the winery and they had no booking for us there- had to talk them around as well.
For the price you pay for this tour, you should not have to be negotiating with people for entry.
