Great day - It was a great day, we saw a lot of things and Isaac is very enthusiastic in explaining things even some facts about Cape Town and South Africa. Because it’s half day, the time is quite limited but I think it is just right for each site.

A full day of memories in just 5 hours! - Amazing experience and great value! Our tour guide Lueya (aka Clement) was wonderful! He did a great job of managing time so that we could see as much as possible in a half-day tour and provided such great information throughout the drive and our stops to see the penguins and the Cape of Good Hope. The penguin colony is not to be missed and the Cape of Good Hope and surrounding park were beautiful! We also saw wild ostriches and baboons along the way. I wish we’d had time to do a full day tour, but will definitely treasure the memory of our day in South Africa. It was one of the highlights of a longer trip. Don’t miss out! Book it!

Perfect length, great guide! - Nathan was a fantastic tour guide! The halfday tour was perfect if you are in CT for a short time. Just enough time at each stop without rushing!

Penguins and beautiful scenic drive! - Nathan was a wonderful guide. Safe driver, explained the itinerary for the day and explained/shared a lot of great information with us throughout the day. We had a good amount of stops throughout the tour. Penguins and waterviews were some of our favorites!

Tour was ok but keep the day free - Actual tour was good, as was the tour guide itself. Although the tour was longer than expected/ stated (partly because there was a couple that was disrespectful of others' time). The pick up was also bit chaotic (driving around 20mins to end up 3 mins from my hotel etc).

Visits - Visits to both sites are very good except that the distances to get to the first and between the two visits are very long and the return to CapeTown with a very large volume of traffic was painful. But we had a very good and really knowledgeable guide to everything about Cape Town and the region as well as South Africa.

Things to see are... - Things to see are really interesting in this tour except that the distances to get to the 2 attractions are really long you should perhaps offer another visit en route or on the return of these attractions given also the large volume of traffic is really a little too long.

Disappointing - Long half day. Delays at the beginning with 5 different start times advised. Driver/guide should have kmown about the closure of Chapman Peak
