Everything was great, especially Ruth — she was an amazing guide. However, the main guide was quite rude to us. He shouted at us in a very aggressive way because we were late. We understand that it was our fault, but nothing justifies that kind of behavior. Please consider improving the customer service skills of that guide. Thank you.

Booked the trip a day in advance. Booking experience was good and coach came to pick us along the way. The coach is spacious, comfortable and has WiFi. Only downside is the microphone seemed to have some technical issues but resolved as we went along. Our guide (Trevor) was great - very knowledgable about South African history and Cape Town in particular. Our driver (Friday) was excellent at maneuvering around the roads. We opted to hike down from Cape Point to Cape of Good Hope which was a bit of a stretch but very doable. Liked the experience and didn't feel rushed. Would recommend.

This is an awesome company and the service was great. Trevor, Wendy and the whole crew were willing to go above and beyond to make sure everyone had a wonderful day.

An informative all day trip with our knowledgeable guide, Trevor. Wonderful to be able to walk from the lighthouse to Cape of Good Hope. Even our non-outdoorsy 8 year old enjoyed it. Highlight for us were the scenery and wildlife - bok, ostrich, baboons and smaller wildlife. The penguins at Boulder’s Beach were enthralling. Be warned this is a small site and lots of visitors constrained in an elevated walkway making it feel quite crowded at times. It is a full day and a fair amount of the time is spent travelling to the sites.

What an incredible experience! The Cape Point tour was absolutely breathtaking — from the stunning scenery to the well-organized schedule, everything was perfect. A huge thank you to the staff for their professionalism, friendliness, and great energy throughout the day. You made the trip memorable and stress-free. Highly recommend this tour and the amazing team behind it! Special thanks to Ruth, Siba, Thabo and Trevor.

We had a lovely day exploring, thoroughly enjoyed the nature, commentary and the walk. Our tour guide was great and we saw so much amazing wildlife. We felt boulders beach was a bit rushed and would have rather swapped some time at cape point for more time there, but overall a wonderful time had.

I had a gard time understanding the guide, i wish they could give us a detail of the places we stay and how long, if it could be written digitally would be perfect! I payed for the pinguin entrace and could only see it for 5 minutes I am very dissapointed.

Very well organised trip, tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone if you don’t want to do it independently.

This tour was not rushed at all, and the host Friday provided history and context we wouldn’t have received if we had driven ourselves. Great way to spend a day during a Cape Town stay.
