It was an amazing experience traveling with Xplore Tour Travels on our anniversary! We finally explored Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, and Boulders Penguin Beach , all breathtaking places. Our guide Horea was excellent, explaining everything with great detail and enthusiasm. Siba and Thanbu were also so kind and helpful throughout the trip. I’d give them 10/10 for their outstanding service. Highly recommended , can’t wait to explore more places with them!

What an amazing day! The Cape Point & Penguin Explorer Tour was absolutely unforgettable. Horea was an outstanding guide — funny, passionate, and full of fascinating stories, always making sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. His humour and kindness made the journey even more enjoyable! A big thank you as well to Siba, our driver, for his excellent and safe driving throughout the day. The landscapes were breathtaking, the stops perfectly chosen, and seeing the penguins at Boulders Beach was magical. A fantastic experience from start to finish — highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a great time with this tour. In cape point, there is an option to hike to the cape of good hope. Don't miss it at all! It's totally worth it. Don't forget sunscreen!

I enjoyed myself, the guide is very friendly and funny. The sights were pretty and I suggest bringing a hat because the sun is horrible.

Horea and Siba were grest guides for us throughout this experience. When they were hiking with half of the group our driver Song took their place and everything went great. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time with Horea, Seba and Song! Horea also speaks romanian which was a nice surprise and might be helpful for fellow romanian travelers! They all were super helpful and a funny crew to be around! The schedule was very well organized and they even went the extra mile to stop and show us some animals on the way to Cape Point. You get a full day but also they make sure you have time for photos, coffee/ice cream breaks or a nice lunch. I definitely recommend them!

Horea, Siba and Thandu took us a good trip to see the Cape plus the penguins. Our booking with another company had been cancelled at the last minute, so we were delighted to be able to make the trip. Good amount of commentary. Comfortable bus.
