Fantastic day - Superb tour with Basil our guide. He was very professional and keen to ensure we had a great time. Even apologized for the misty start to the day, not his issue! Fantastic visit to the Cape National Park, Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. Penguins were a must see stop off. Lunch included in Simon's Town, which was a good basic choice. Chapman's Drive is a must see offering spectacular views of the coastline. We did a private tour for 4 which is not cheap but great value. Highly recommended

A superb tour operator - We booked a cape point tour through the hotel and we were picked up by a driver who was not in a good way .his driving was erratic and the guide was non existent.he also managed to have an accident.
On our return to the hotel we made a complaint to the representative at the hotel who contacted the operator to make them aware of our experience.they said they will carry out an investigation and let us know the outcome in the evening.
The next day the owner came to the hotel and personally apologised for the bad experience and gave us a full refund also as a gratitude gave as a hamper .
This level of service I have never experienced anywhere.we were taken aback by his kindness and genuine respect and courtesy .and he could not apologise enough for his driver’s actions. He even offered a free transfer to the airport.
I am deeply touched by the response by this company and would recommend you use them .they are excellent and our experience does not reflect the other tours that they offer .
AFRICAN EAGLE THANK YOU VERY MUCH .

EXCELLENT AND INTERESTING TOUR GUIDE ROBERT - Our African Eagle tour guide, Robert, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. He just didn’t have bottled water as a company practice.
He also didn’t have a copy of the original itinerary I have discussed with my overall Africa tour operator though no fault of his. But he still tried to bring us to as many places as possible. Unfortunately, the bus to the top of Cape Point was only one bus so the queue was really long. Hence, the boat to the seal island which was part of our itinerary was already closed.
We were able to visit most of the places in the itinerary and we were very happy with the penguins in Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point and even made a quick drive through the Ostrich Farm. We were also able to visit the oldest winery in South Africa, Groot Constancia.

Highly recommend - We booked a private day tour through our hotel. Our driver/guide was friendly and informative. We enjoyed the day so much we asked him to take us to Franschhoek/Stellenbosch the next day. Dillon’s suggestions for wine tasting and lunch were perfect (Boschendal and Ernie Els). Thanks Dillon for two great days

The most perfect experience - The best and most memorable trip to Cape Town. Dominique was very professional. He arrived at the hotel early to pick me up and explained the history and culture of South Africa to me. I saw the most beautiful coastline during the trip. He arranged the time reasonably and made the whole trip very smooth.

Fantastic experience ,amazing scenery ,relaxing from start to finish - It was organised by our hotel and we had a fantastic day over all .we were picked up at our hotel by a friendly guide and driver .
The whole day was very relaxing from start to finish as we could just sit back and relax .
We visited 5 or 6 different areas including cape of good hope ,cape point and boulders beach (penguins)
Our guide was very friendly and had loads of knowledge .
Scenery was just amazing with breath taking views practically the whole way !
We had lovely fish and chips in simons town for lunch
Definite recommendation for anyone staying in Cape Town just ask your hotel for info on it
Tip :maybe more time at cape of good hope to leave time to visit the top and less time at the harbour we visited as there’s not a whole pile there to see but just my opinion on it
Overall a fantastic experience !

Great Tour - We are so glad we done this tour while we stayed in Cape Town. We were picked up at apx 8.15am from our hotel and we returned at apx 6pm. Our tour guide was Basil and he was amazing! He explained the history of Cape Town so well and he was happy to answer questions. He gave us all a sufficient amount of time to take photos in the various areas and always done a headcount before moving on to the next stop. Great day out!

A fabulous day out - I booked this tour to see the best of the cape and was not disappointed. There were five of us on the small group tour and that made it a lot of fun. The guide gave a commentary as we drove along the coast road pointing out interesting spots in case we wanted to visit another day. We went to the Cape of Good Hope. You really can't visit Cape Town without visiting this legendary point. Then on to Cape Point where you can ride the funicular if you don't want to walk. Then the amazing Boulder's Penguin Colony where these unique birds are just the other side of the fence to you. Lunch was at a seaside restaurant in Simons Town. Adolph was our excellent driver/guide. He picked us all up at our hotel and dropped us off around 6pm. I enjoyed the day so much that I booked another African Eagle Tour to two wineries for half a day.

Cape Peninsula Full Day Tour - I did a full day Cape Peninsula tour. I picked the this tour because the itinerary showed 15 highlights. I assumed that we would be stopping at all 15 highlights, but mostly we just drove by most of the places. We did stop a few times for a view point, but mostly we were in car.
We did stop at Hout Bay (optional seal tour), Cape Good Hope/Cape Point (for lunch, althought we could have used an extra half hour to enjoy this a bit more), Boulder Beach (optional Pengiun sighting), and Kirstenbosch (for a short visit, which for us was less than 45 mins).
After the pick ups, the tour started at 9am. I would suggest to either start earlier, as the distances are quiet big or skip a few highlights. Looking back the entire day felt really rushed. I really wanted to stop at Muizenberg, which we did, but just for 5 mins. And in the end it was at the wrong color houses too. I felt a little bit misleaded, so changing the program will give visitors a better idea of what to expect.
Our guide, Cheryl, was lovely and had good knowledge on the area. She did try to accommodate our wishes.

Poorly organised - The guide cum driver’s audio commentary was very bad with his low voice, poor audio system, and his mumbling of words. Couldn’t understand the anything. Supposed to be 9 hour tour but finished in 8 hours rushing us at each sights particularly at Cape Point lighthouse. With my wife’s knee pain couldn’t reach and come back in 45 minutes. Should have been an hour. He over charged on penguin view point from displayed rate.
