Albert is THE best guide ever! - With just 2 days in Cape Town and plans changed due to unseasonably bad weather...... I found myself looking on TripAdvisor and found this tour....
Perfect! Booked late the evening before, the following 8am our guide Albert arrived as planned and delivered an amazing few hours of scenery, information and great places to visit.
Highly recommended and huge thanks to Albert for being such a great host.
