    So worth of money! The guide was very knowledgable, funny and energetic! Besides seeing penguin & cape of good hope, we get to learn about cape town through its history. The guide also know where are photo spots and the funny rock shapes from years of experience as the guide. On our way we got to see wild animals!! It was a mini safari I was looking for. Disclaimer: the animal presence is not in the control of the tour organiser lol. Out of many good things, the prep email could be improved. The email sent 1 day before the trip said we need to prepare cash for the entrance & lunch (@3 Mar all places accept contactless payment). We were traveling with a travel debit card, very few cash at hand and this worried us, given little time to prepare. With the worry, we missed the pick up time at the end of the email. Our false but we also tried to reach out via whatsapp the day before but no one monitor. If there were no hick up at the beginning of the trip, it would be 100% perfect trip

    Collection time was 7.50h, notification of the time was provided on the day before the tour (visitors need to be aware that the starting time of the tour is not the same as the collection time). The tour guide was very well informed and provided ample historic background information for the places visited. A truy unforgettable experience.

    An incredible cultural experience. The tour was well thought out and we found it incredibly educational, interesting and a fun day away from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town. Our driver Armando was knowledgeable and helpful. He was extremely professional and was full of top tips including the best coffee house in Cape Town
