  • 5A fantastic city tour with Delon!

    I had the pleasure of joining a city tour with Delon as our guide. It was wonderful to experience the tour from a guest’s perspective, and I thoroughly enjoyed the outing. Delon deserves a special mention for making the experience so enjoyable. Exploring the city yourself gives you a fresh appreciation for what it has to offer, and this tour certainly did that for me. Thank you, Delon, for a memorable day and for representing African Eagle so well!

  • 5Great service

    This review is for their day tour as well as the airport transfer service. We had a great time with Hamilton for our city and Table Mountain day trip. He's friendly, funny, and gave clear instructions. He drove safely, and very knowledgeable about the city. We had a fantastic time. Then we used their airport transfer service a few times, everytime they're on time and courteous. We enjoyed their friendly chat and could tell they really enjoy their job. I apologize as I forgot a few of the other drivers, but shout-out to Yusuf! 👍🏻

    Excellent coverage of both sides of the Capetown spectrum- both scenic and social. Shiraz was a very interesting and knowledgeable guide. Unfortunate Table Mountain was under cloud, and parts of the museum closed, however still enjoyed the tour.

  • 5A must do tour in Cape Town

    Fantastic experience with Sharaaz today. We saw Table top mountain and so many wonderful sites in just a half day. He had so much interesting facts about Cape Town and the surrounding areas. He was polite and set the tour at our pace. We loved our day in Cape Town.

  • 1Don't use this ripoff company!

    I booked a half day tour of Cape Town through the Sky Hotel where I stayed. The tour was advertised for under $100 USD. However I was charged $434 USD. When I called and emailed to inquire I was told I had a private tour and the company would not refund any of my payment. I never asked for a private tour nor was I informed that no other tour was available that afternoon. This is fraudulent and unethical and I would avoid doing business with African Eagle.

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.
