Amazing for Solo travellers! - I did the Cape point explorer and the wine tasting tour. Both amazing experiences for my first time in Cape Town also as a solo traveler. The tour guide ( Brahm ) explained everything for us and make the experiences funny and super interesting. Price and value is perfect 👌🏻 Definitely worth it and I will do it again !! You can also book online but I book in the office.

Wonderful visit to see the Cape and the penguins! Go with Louis and have a great time. - Louis was very friendly and informative throughout the tour. We had a wonderful and relaxing day visiting the Cape of Good Hope and seeing the penguins. Plenty of time was provided to visit each site, and to take a long walk if you are energetic enough. And there was plenty of time to have lunch at The Two Oceans Restaurant-highly recommend the daily fish and the chocolate volcano for dessert. I highly recommend you take a tour with him.
