Great Tour of Cape Town and Neighborhoods. - We completed a full day tour starting at Cape Town up to Cape Point (including Boulders Beach) and chose to have Jean Marie do another 1/2 day tour of Kirsten Bosch botanical gardens, Signal Hill and Sunday Food Market. Jean Marie has a wealth of knowledge about Cape Town and its neighborhoods. He accompanied us at every place of interest and provided a detailed description of everything. Highly appreciative of him for providing an overview of this beautiful and vibrant city as well as an opportunity enjoy a spectacular sunset from Cape Point lighthouse. He is a very polite and genial guide who made our brief stay quite memorable.
