Highly recommended - It was a great tour! From the pick up at the port to the end everything worked out great and we saw a lot. The tour guide Wilson was very friendly and took a lot of time to explain everything.

Very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended - The guide is extremely knowledgeable. I am really impressed by his deep knowledge of so many things throughout our trip, ranging from history events to wines. He remembers the years/dates of those events and he demonstrated a great knowledge of history/geography etc. This trip is highly recommended.

Very positive - It had everything anyone could want in a whistle stop tour of Cape Town. The guide was very informative, entertaining and friendly. We thought we were just going to see penguins but our morning tour was filled with photo opportunities for us to record our precious time in Cape Town.

Morning well spent - Great way to get to see some sights in the Cape Town region if you’re short on time. Gordon is knowledgeable and made sure we got to see many interesting things and sights along the way.

Penguin fun - We were late because we did not review our emails before leaving, they mentioned an earlier time plus needing to get tickets on line, prices were a lot more expensive than advertised, having said all that, we loved the penguins, and the park at cape of hood hope was lovely, the views stunning, good guide, it was a small group and lucky for us they were very forgiving! All in all a good trip

Could be better. - Great day. Guide was good. Would have rated higher if we got to actually visit Cape Point, but we ran out of time apparently? Also there was confusion over the park tickets. We only got told the night before we can’t pay cash at the gate and needed to purchase the tickets on-line, which was clumsy. Would be better if tour included the park tickets in the price.

Be careful the options are not truly optional seems to be a bait and switch - Very disappointed they quote a very low price, but you can’t do it for that price. They say there were three options, entry to the park, funicular and visit the Penguins. It’s obligatory to pay for entrance to the park unless you just sit at the side of the road while everybody spends the day. Our driver said he’ll pay for everyone’s tickets and we pay him back. The price quoted on the website was about $20 less than what he said the amount is. He said that the website had not been updated. The excursion was quite good and the driver kept us well informed. That’s the reason I did not give it one star. It really left a very sour taste in my mouth seemed like a bait and switch. Be very careful if you book the excursion because you’ll have to pay for at least two of the three options. They are not truly optional. We did not have the option to buy the tickets ourselves and find out what was the true price.
