• 5Must See Must experience

  The history of South Africa and the Aparthied regieme are important history we need to learn from. The story that came from Max our guide was heartwrenching and real.

• 5Important Robben Island Prison Tour

  We were so glad that we booked this tour. It was so informative and eye-opening. The guides were previous prisoners at Robben Island and their stories were heart-rending (bring kleenex!). It was really special to get first-hand knowledge about the prison and the inmates, including Nelson Mandela. Tours like this are so important for raising our awareness about the injustices perpetrated in our world. Everyone needs to have this kind of experience so that we can, hopefully, improve the human condition. The only thing that we didn't like about the tour was that the meeting instructions were not very accurate or helpful. For future travellers: you have to meet at the Nelson Mandela Gateway Museum where you catch the ferry to the island then get on a bus where one of the guides shows you around. There is NO guide provided by Viator or their affiliates that meets you at the "Meeting Place". Your booking simply pre-pays for the ferry, island tour and museum; you're on your own to get there in time.

• 5Living History

  This is a must do excursion if you are in Cape Town. The ferry and tour are weather dependent if the boat is able to sail.The tour consists of two parts - bus tour of the island followed by a guided tour of the prison complex. Our guide was a former prisoner so all the commentary was first hand - very informative and sometimes harrowing.

• 5Haunting history

  Very interesting tour with former political prisoners as guides. Their stories and memories of their time incarcerated are rather haunting. Very powerful and emotional info.

About Cape Town

Cape Town breder sig mellem Taffelbjerget og havet, en slående by af strande, vingårde, pingviner og historie nær Afrikas sydvestlige spids.

Taffelbjergets flade top tårner sig op over alt, nået med tovbane eller vandrestier, med Lion's Head og Signal Hill på siderne. Nedenfor summer V&A Waterfront omkring den fungerende havn, og herfra sejler både til Robben Island, hvor Nelson Mandela var fængslet i atten år. Bo-Kaaps farverige huse klatrer op ad skråningerne over bymidten og Company's Garden.

Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
