Great day out and intro to Cape Town - Paul did a superb job on the tour and is very knowledgeable on the history of the area. This tour is a great start the holiday as it gives and a great over view of Cape Town and the surrounding areas and South Africa. Highlights were the 45 min walk to the Cape of Good Hope and seeing the penguins on Boulder Beach. A very nice team and l would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Experience! - Horea and Team have been great hosts and travel guides during our trip to Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Beach. The entire trip was beautifully curated and learnt so much about the history, thanks to Horea’s commentary. This is a good sight-seeing program and a must when in Cape Town.

Great tour indeed! - Charles was great as a guide. He explained everything with a great mix of deep knowledge and humor. His history of South Africa in four chapters was insightful, informative, and concise — and of course with his signature understated humor. Thanks to Friday and Wendy as well to keep everything smooth.
