An amazing day - I had an amazing guide with Leticia. We first went to the Diamond Museum. Then we went up to Table Mountain. That was a unique experience. During the whole trip Leticia proved to be an excellent guide. She had much knowledge about the country and it was lots of fun with her. We also drove to Signal Hill and later in the evening to the Waterfront. It was a great trip

Fantastic and interesting - Had a fabulous half day around Cape Town with an amazing guide called Leticia. She really knows her history.
Got to see Maiden's cove, Signal Hill, Bo-Kapp area, Slave Lodge and District 6 museums - which made a strong impression. Lots of other locations too, such as the parc where Cecil John Rhodes statue is, Castle of Good Hope (the fort), Nelson Mandelas statue on the balcony and much more. Ended the trip with going to the top of Table Mountain where the "table cloth" vanished while we were there!
Feel as if I got more than I "bargained" for, definitely value for money.

Excellent service. - I would highly recommend this tour company. My friends and I booked a half-day Table mountain city tour and Doney, our tour guide was very hospitable and gave us an excellent service. She was also very patient with us and gave us more than enough time to take pictures (she even doubled as a photographer for the most part). She was so knowledgeable and always ceased every opportunity to give us a history lesson when passing by any landmark or area. We all loved her pleasant and kind disposition.
I would definitely use this company again when next I need to go on a tour in Cape Town.

Excellent Sights and Great Tour - We really enjoyed the half day tour. It was great to learn about the history of Cape Town, and see all the sights: Bo Kaap, Water Front, Camps Bay, Table Top Mountain, and so on.
Allain was our tour guide and he exceeded our expectations. First, he was very knowledgeable and energetic. He was also super flexible in terms of moving things around on our tour schedule to make sure we have a truly remarkable experience. Finally, he wowed us with his excellent photography skills. We were really grateful to have him as our tour guide!

Ne Ne was a fantastic guide! - Our tour was excellent! “Ne Ne” was a wonderful guide. Her passion & love for her country comes through. She was so cheerful & charming. She was very accommodating and had great suggestions when we had to change the plan as Table Mountain was closed due to high winds and cloud cover. We instead added the Sixth District Museum which I highly recommend. We also stopped at the Diamond Museum too! We thoroughly enjoyed having her as our guide and highly recommend her to all visitors.

Loved it! - I had a great experience with this tour! I had limited time in Capetown, and this was such a great way to get to know the city. I had bad luck because table mountain was closed, however the guide made sure to add something else instead. I had the pleasure of going on this tour with Neyney, she was absolutely amazing, she was great at sharing all the historic details but also adding context of Capetown now. She was just wonderful, it was just me and one other person taking the tour and it didn't feel awkward at any moment. I really enjoyed the experience!! It is worth mentioning that pick-up was very on time and that communication with the company was very timely.

Fun overview of Cape Town - Wonderful half day with Leticia!
She was professional, energetic, full of local history and information &very eager to make our tour a memorable one. We were able to see many historical sites, beautiful architecture, beaches, local restaurants, businesses, churches and great lookout points around Cape Town for photo ops! We spent plenty of time at parks, table mountain and other landmarks, lots of opportunities to stretch our legs, get refreshments or shop a bit.
Highly recommend this tour
