4Nice trip
Very nice experience. Guides were very welcoming.
5Robben island through the eyes of a former prisioner
Not to be missed excursion. Historical and cultural value! Truly an excellent experience to learn about all the political prisoners that were incarcerated here
5History
Great incite into the history of South Africa. The ferry ride has great views of Cape Town and the harbor.
5Robben Island
Really well organised and interesting tour. It was such an amazing experience to hear from someone who had actually lived through being incarcerated on Robben Island. How they dealt with what must have been such a traumatic experience. The bus guide was funny and informative also. I highly recommend this trip to anyone interested.
5Very worthwhile
Great tour. Very knowledgeable guides. Faycial who picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back, excellent!
5Impactful
This tour was very informative and the experience was more impactful when we found out that not one but two of our tour guides were former inmates. This history and knowledge hit the soul.

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.
