Join me on this private tour as we explore one of my favorite routes in South Africa, the stunning Cape Peninsula. The tour is packed with iconic sights. Highlights include an optional boat trip to Seal Island, a walk through the colorful Bo-Kaap district, and a breathtaking drive along Chapman’s Peak, all before we even reach the penguins at Boulders Beach or the dramatic cliffs of the Cape of Good Hope, considered by many to be the crown jewels of the Cape. But this experience is more than just visiting famous landmarks. It is a rich experience that starts the moment I pick you up and continues until your return. As a Cape Town local with deep knowledge of the area, I will share many interesting details, from historical landmarks, geology and local flavors. Traveling in a private vehicle means we can explore at a relaxed pace, with the freedom to stop, take photos, and savor every moment. Let’s turn a day of sightseeing into a journey you’ll never forget.

This private tour is THE way to experience all that is Capetown and the surrounding areas. From the beautiful terrain to the gorgeous sea landscape and wildlife, this tour is excellent. Barnabas served as our tour guide and did an exceptional job providing commentary throughout the day. He was the most professional and fun tour guide.

My husband and I took this tour in early December and loved every minute - you really do get to see so much in one day. Avril was a wonderful guide for us - friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. She took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch that we maybe wouldn't have found otherwise and told us stories/information whilst on the way to our next destination. We didn't feel rushed anywhere - it was tough getting Bo Kaap in right at the end due to traffic on the day but she went out of her way to take us. Couldn't recommend enough. You get what you pay for and this is a quality private tour. Thank you Avril!

Although the weather was not the greatest (cold and rainy) we had a FANTASTIC experience. Max, our guide, was so kind, pleasant and had such a positive outlook- just oove him! Due to issues with the National Parks website, I would recommend NOT paying for the tickets to Boulder’s Beach & Cape of Good Hope. There truly is no benefit to booking this in advance- our tickets were never uploaded and we had to pay twice for the tickets (no fault of the tour operator).

Amazing tour with a wonderful guide. You get to see all the major attractions around Cape Town. Our kids loved the tour and would highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with this private tour and highly recommend it! There are many options for the penguin tour, but most involve large buses, meaning you have to wait for other passengers during bathroom breaks, photos, etc. With this private tour, we could fully customize our itinerary based on our preferences, which made the day so much more enjoyable. A wonderful surprise was being upgraded from a standard sedan to a brand-new BMW—such a great send-off! One of my personal must-do’s was trying different fish and chips, so we stopped at Fish on the Rocks (yes, for breakfast!). We then continued to Noordhoek Farm Village, where we enjoyed delicious meat pies and coffee at a charming deli. Our driver, Xochitle, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, courteous, and always smiling. She not only took amazing pictures and videos of us but also suggested great stops along the route. One highlight was visiting a small, lesser-known penguin beach before heading to the main one, which gave us an up-close experience with the penguins. Another perk was receiving a link before the tour to pre-purchase our park passes, allowing us to skip the long entrance lines. Fish Hoek Beach was a lovely stop—we relaxed there for an hour and enjoyed some bunny chow. We also visited the vibrant, colorful houses at Muizenberg Beach before ending the day with an authentic braai at Ahmed’s Tikki House in the beautiful Bo-Kaap neighborhood. It was our favorite day in Cape Town, and Xochitle made it even more special. If you're looking for a personalized, hassle-free experience, this private tour is the way to go!

We had a wonderful day with Kelvin travelling around the Cape Peninsula. Kelvin was so knowledgeable about the region and was happy to answer all our questions about living in South Africa. He was keen to ensure we saw everything we wanted to and added extra stops in when we decided there were places we didn’t want to go. The car was very comfortable and clean. Thoroughly recommend

A fantastic route with great places to see You shouldn't miss a single location on this trip A visit to the island with the seals is a must. Kelvin was a excellent driver and a good tour guide but he did not make the small changes we suggested to the route even though we agreed with the tour operator not to visit Bo Kaap and just walk to two specific beaches on our route instead

Very knowledgeable & capable of noting points of interest & historical context that could have easily been left out. Happily modified the days itinerary to suit our interest.

Great day and Avril was a great guide. We visited the cape of good hope, Cape point and boulder beach to see the penguins with many photo stops along the way.

We enjoyed a full day private tour to the Cape of Good Hope, with the penguins at Boulder Beach and the boat trip to Seals Island. Our guide Danson was extremely competent and always flexibel to our wishes - it was very informative and entertaining - definitely a highlight of our South Africa trip.
