Amazing tour of Cape of Good Hope! - We had a great time exploring Boulders Beach and Cape of Good Hope! We couldn’t recommend our guide, Syrille, enough. He was so knowledgeable of not only Africa, but so much history and made our experience that much more enjoyable. We stopped at beautiful, scenic lookouts, coffee shops, and of course, saw the penguins at Boulder Beach. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough, it is a must do if you are visiting Cape Town!

Recommend and awesome tour - Cyril was wonderful, we had such a lovely day and even got extra freedom to speed along some steps or take more time. We saw so many animals. Even stopped at an Austrich farm.
For the lighthouse you can take the funecular but personally we preferred walking it. You do have some nice stop points for picture or getting a rest aha
But couldn't recommend it enough! It was wonderful

Great Value For Money For a Private Tour - My husband & I were pleasantly surprised to find that this tour was a private tour - just the two of us. Our guide from CM Travel, Cyrille, met us at the cruise port after contacting us by Whats Ap to see if we were ready at 9 am. He was very knowledgable & passionate about Cape Town & South Africa’s history & attractions. The tour took 9 hrs & was so comprehensive, starting with a city tour of Cape Town & then visiting all the scenic spots along the coast to Simon’s Town, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point, the Ostrich Farm, Stellenbosch & then following a different route back to the city via the wineries areas with a final stop at a diamond house. Having a private tour was great as we could control how long we stopped in places & also could ask to stop for photos. The scenery is breathtaking! One of the highlights was the penguin colony at Boulder Beach although the wind that day was gale force & we were sandblasted so a good idea to bring a towel to cover up. You can also swim with the penguins here but none were in the water that day because of the wind. It was a great tour for seeing wildlife - seals, baboons, penguins & wild ostrich. The only negative was the long 45 minute wait at the entry to the Cape National Park to pay the entry fee. All fees & road tolls however were included in the tour price as promised. As these fees soon mounted up it showed just what good value this tour offered. We finished the tour with a much better appreciation of Cape Town thanks to Cyrille & his informative commentary & ability to answer all our many questions. The tour was long but enjoyable.

Day tour to see Cape Town highlights - Had an amazing 1-day tour around Cape Town! Our driver Cyril was friendly, professional, and shared lots of interesting local insights. The car was clean and comfortable, and the whole day ran smoothly. Perfect way to see the highlights if you’re short on time. Highly recommend!

An unforgettable, beautiful day - We enjoyed a wonderful day. Our guide knew very well and could tell us so much about all the places and the history. We left at 10am, then returned to the hotel at 6pm. Time has flown by and we have seen so much. To be able to take beautiful photos, we stopped again and again. After the “cap of good hope” we had time for a snack. We would always ride with Cedrille, even you can not plan the route like this. Thanks for the unforgettable day 🙏🏻 Barbara and Dirk, Germany
