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.

Lots of sitting in the bus, but it was very comfortable and the host, Friday, kept us entertained and informed all the way. Lots of time at the Cape and penguins, and Trevor and Ruth have Friday great support. A tiring but very enjoyable day.

Visiting Boulders Beach is like stepping into a nature documentary — but better, because you're right there, face to face with a colony of wild African penguins!

Great day touring the peninsula. Highlight was the penguins but also enjoyed the funicular at the Cape. Thomas was a fantastic guide and Kyle a great driver. Would recommend this trip.

Paul, Wendy and Song made the trip worthwhile. The commentary guide, historical knowledge, hike trails down to the cape of good hope was well thought of. The cherry on the top is the journey. If you are planning to take this trip I would highly recommend citysightseeing for it.10/10
