The experience was incredibly disorganized from hotel pickup. Guide did not stay with group for duration of excursion and excursion took longer than advertised. Boats leave at 9h00 to Robben island and depart 13h00. The time on Robben Island was as advertised and interesting to hear from the view point of a former prisoner. Overall would not recommend booking with this company though.

Went on this tour recently with my wife. She has been nagging me to experience this tour again. Nice thing is that it’s sold out everywhere else except for here. The Best
