Fun, informative, interesting and professionally executed. - Cornelia was superb. She drove, she picked up the participants at 6 locations (without GPS). She provided information and history and cultural commentary. And she was fun.

Great trip to the Cape Peninsular - Very comfortable coach from the "hop on hop off" company. A very scenic drive and splendid comentry by "Mark" - our second tour with him. We also took a two day ticket with this company for the open top buses which we felt were excellent value.

Amazing day around Cape Peninsula - The tour was exactly as described and, although packed, I didn’t feel rush at all during the stops. The tour company was very accommodating of my requests (had to change the date of the tour a couple of times due to unforeseen circumstances) and promptly answered all my questions. I was travelling alone and did a lot of research before picking the tour company for my day trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We were a group of 10 in a comfortable mini van so it was easy to keep on time and beat the crowds. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour!

Great mix of activities for the day! - We enjoyed the hike by the lighthouse, the lunch spot and exploring the beautiful coastal town, and seeing the penguins. We also enjoyed having time to DIY explore the gardens. We wished we could get closer to the penguins since we had seen pictures of other tours that were on the beach with them. Overall, we would recommend this tour for all ages!

Cape peninsula tour - Tour was OK but very rushed. Wasn't offered boat trip to seal island or walk about Hout Bay. Had lunch in Simon's Town which was very good but again no time to see the town or walk about. Chapman's peak drive was fine but very rushed. It really was just a drive around. While it was OK and I can say yes I have been around the Cape Peninsula it really was not worth the money. Much better hiring a car or maybe use some other tour company.

Half a good tour but the false advertising is the review - This is a mixed review, our driver/guide was very friendly and full of information and the cape and the penguins were also great. However, we did not get the cake and tea, we did not stop at the Rhodes memorial, and we did not stop at the Botanical Gardens. All three of these thing were not only in the description but in the video. The gardens are the main picture and one of the reasons I booked. They decided to give me a ten dollar refund which doesn't cover a fourth of the expenses I know have to spend to visit the Rhodes and Botanical Gardens on my own time.
