Beautiful Cape Town - Fast paced half day tour around Cape Town. You’ll see Cape of Good Hope, hike up to the lighthouse, stop at the few scenic spots to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful landscape and lastly you’ll see the cute African penguins at the Boulder Beach. You can either pay the entrance and see colony of them from the pier or walk yourself along the wooden path to see few penguins close to their nests . All in all , a great experience around the Caoe Town.

Scenery, Baboons and Penguins... Oh MY!!! - This was a perfect tour to maximize your time and still enjoy so much. Our Tour Guide, Jeff, communicated well. He let us know when we would be picked up in front of our residence and he was punctual. His narrations were interesting and punctuated with both facts and humor. He drove responsibly and made us feel safe and cared for the whole tour. The photo ops were all in breathtaking spots. We saw animals we had not seen before (Baboons, Ostriches and Penguins). The scenery and opportunity to capture special momemts were plentiful. Jeff had an assistant who readily offered to take photos in those special moments so awkward selfies were not necessary. Jeff managed the tour time well to ensure he delivered on everything in the description within the allotted 5-hours. This allowed us to enjoy other activities. The other two tour guests were lovely and we meshed well. We exchanged contact info so we could share group photos with each other. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time and wants to see as much as possible. We learned about Nelson Mandela's history in the city. Jeff shared real estate pricing in several of the areas for perspective. It was a really nice experience and a great value. The only improvement I would recommend is that Viator remind tour guests to purchase admittance tickets in advance when they remind you of your upcoming tour. We had forgotten that we needed to purchase tickets for entrance into the Cape of Good Hope. Fortunately, we were touring during the off-season and had no problems getting tickets for both the Cape of Good Hope and the Boulders Penguin Exhibit. Had this been peak season, we probably would not have been as fortunate. Thank you, Jeff and Assistant for a great day!

Great day out - Our outing to the Cape of Good Hope was wonderful from start to finish. It is hard to pick a focal point, the penguins were oh so cute, the scenery was spectacular and Ray took very good care of us.

Beautiful Cape Town - Just finishing up a nice half a day tour of Cape of Good Hope and Boulder beach with penguin viewing. Day went fast and was filled with beautiful scenery and detailed history of the area by guide Wilson who kept us moving in a good pace but not rushing.

Viator missed the mark - Viator gave two different locations and times for pick up in days leading up to actual tour Ten minutes before pickup we received a call with instructions on the true place to meet for pickup. Van had no shocks. Guide could not be understood most of the time. He would tell us to look out left side window to see something. All you could see was a wall of earth. His driving was horrific. On more than one occasion he swerved into other lanes. Drivers honked to get him back in correct lane. I had to ask for the air to be turned on. No consideration for guests. Viator never advised us there would be no lunch stop. This tour was not on par with other Viator tours we have booked. I will consider using other tour companies for future tours.
