Well organized, already in time and very friendly. But too less historical. Not so much old historical fragments. The best was the funny BusGuide and the explanations of the prisoner guide.

A very informative tour of the peninsula with Justin including Boulders Bay, Cape of Good Hope and Chapman's Peak. After a quick break we were taken to the ferry to visit Robben Island.Justin was a kind and organised guide. A busy day, but a highly recommend the tour.

Felix was a great tour guide for the day, he was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot of history about South Africa and Cape Town. We also saw lots of incredible wild animals, pigs, baboons, ostriches and zebras and Felix pulled over every time so we could take photographs. Would 100% recommend!!

To learn so much history of Cape Town and see so many amazing sites. Seeing not only Wonderfully colourful Bo Kaap but the historic buildings and the stories behind them. Sifpo the guide was so entertaining and knowledgeable. His passion was infectious.
