Traveller Tips

Have lunch at the Two Ocean Restaurant at Cape Point.

Great ocean drive, full day tour and very reasonably priced.

The fees to enter the Cape of Good hope are a little high considering you don't really get anything but entrance, but that is not the tour operator's control.

Would highly recommend - 10/10!

Jenna_D, May 2023

Already recommended the tour to a friend who will be here next week. Fantastic time with Rodney and Pauline. Everything was timed so well and we had plenty of time at each stop to enjoy the views - penguins, seals, Cape of Good Hope, and many stops for photos and food along the way. I did the option where I purchased just the tour and bought my tickets at each National Park which worked out fine. Rodney also spoke over the van speakers through a mic about the neighborhoods we passed through and some South African history during all our drives, which was one of my favorite parts of the tour. It was truly the perfect start to my few days in Cape Town!

Peter_O, May 2023

Excellent tour. Our guide Rodney was great. We stopped for pictures at iconic sites, plenty of coffee and toilet stops, we fed ostriches, saw penguins & baboons, did the stunning walk at Cape Of Good Hope. 10/10 day out!

Amazing Trip!

Nancy_I, May 2023

The trip was amazing, our tour guide Santana was excellent, the bus and the tour was perfect. Th bus was comfortable, with big windows to enjoy the scenic views along the way, we were a group of 7 people. Santana was very nice, entertaining i enjoyed the information she provided during each stop and while on road. The stops were amazing, i highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see lots of places in one day. My husband and son enjoyed their time alot, Kalvin the driver was super nice and friendly and helped taking photos for us. Thank you Cape archives for making this an unforgettable trip for us.

Totally recommend!

Olohikhuae_E, May 2023

I was on the fence about doing this tour for a while because of the price, but I'm very pleased to report that the experience was totally worth it! Rodney was an absolutely delightful and knowledgeable guide and he made the most of the tour despite the bad weather. The sights and views were also incredible and I think if you're in Cape Town for a few days and looking to do as much as possible in limited time, this is one good way to do it.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Olohikh We really appreciate the opportunity to serve you and thrilled to know that you enjoyed your tour with us.

Excellent tour of the cape!

Sara_D, May 2023

Fantastic tour that stopped nearly everywhere I wanted to see (we ran short on time and didn’t get to boulders beach unfortunately). Comfortable van, great guides - knowledgeable, funny, and put everyone at ease. Great skill in managing a small group of people. Many stops along the way make the long day pass quickly. Good lunch spot with all the options. We didn’t get back till 615ish so make sure not to have anything planned too soon after tour. You’ll be tired but happy.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Sara D We are overjoyed to read your 5-star review. Thank you for your kind words and choosing to travel with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and always striving to improve. If possible, please contact us directly regarding the Boulders beach stop not being accommodated. We have receipts from your tour showing that you arrived at Boulders beach just after midday which should have given you enough time to spend with the penguins since the beach closes at 5pm. Boulders beach penguin colony is one of the main stops on this tour and it becomes a huge concern to us if it was skipped for any reason. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon, hoping that you have a wonderful year and travel safely. Thank you once again.

Average tour experience

Ziad_R, Apr 2023

This was an okay tour, we enjoyed it some parts of the tour, however we skipped two places that were in the itinerary, also bo kaap was left behind by the driver. Lastly was not expecting to do a hike at cape of Good hope.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dear Ziad R Thank you for having put your trust in us by booking one of our tours during your Cape town stay. We apologize that your experience with us was average.

Thank you for reviewing us on this platform and we hope that one day, you will come back to Cape town so that we can make things right by you. Take care and enjoy all of your future travels.

Interesting and fun

Dennis_P, Apr 2023

Despite the wet weather the guide made the tour interesting and informative. We would have happily missed the boat trip to seal island as the weather was not ideal and we have seen seals before.

Value for money

Salome_M, Apr 2023

This was the best decision I made on how to use my time in CapeTown. Rodney was an excellent tour guide with incredible knowledge on South Africa's history, environment and culture. The tour brightened up an otherwise dull winter weekend. Some of the highlights included Cape Point, the Penguin colony and the Ostrich farm. Lunch at Simon's town was also great.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Natural Beauty of Cape Town with Some History Added

Teresa_W, Apr 2023

Even though the weather was awful, this was a great day. I was able to see many highlights of Cape Town and to make new friends on the tour. The hike at Cape of Good Hope was a highlight and was not too difficult to make. Rodney was a great driver and guide and his fact sharing and sense of humor made the day extra special.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Well spaced out visits

Christine_B, Apr 2023

Plenty of time to optionally walk the Cape of Good Hope trail and then go up to the lighthouse. It’s good not to feel rushed. Effort is worth the views and ostrich sitings.
