4Great Experience
The guide, Mr Neil, did a great job with his commentary, taking us through Cape Town and showing us all land marks and attractions. His commentary was clear and informative. All the crew members/ staff, Mr Friday and Wendy, were amazing and kind. We enjoyed all the stops that we went to and the views were beautiful.

About Cape Town
Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.
Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.
Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
