This trip was very well designed and reasonably priced. Our guide Pamela was energetic and attentive. Our driver Lionel was kind and drove smoothly. The lunch spot has great seafood. The only thing I'd change is to smooth out the pick up process. I didn't know when I was going to be picked up until the morning of the trip. Overall, I strongly recommend this trip to anyone.
Amazing tour, great guides. Many thanks for Pamela and Lionel. We saw spectecular places. Hiked in amazing routes. The program designed very well. There were no surprise fees or stops. Pamela guided and informed us about locations, histories, and possible dangers ( by penguins, baboons, and seals) for the stops. We feel safe and comfortable. Lionel was always keeping eye on our stuff in the van when we are outside. It was one of best experiences in the Cape Town. I like this tour's program compared to others as we saw the seal island and spend more free time in the Cape Point. Recommend to anyone.
It was a perfectly organized tour. Our guide Pamela was incredible, extremely professional, communicative and informative, while also keeping a smile on her face at all times and kept bringing up everyone's mood. Our driver Lionel was also excellent and careful while driving. It was truly worth the money and an unforgettable experience. Thank you to everyone who contributed to make it happen.
This tour was so amazing!! Pamela and Lionel were just the greatest guides. They took care of us and taught us a lot about Capetown. Clear recommentation from our side!!!! BesidesTour, Pamela is just the sweetest person and she made the tour really special.
It was a very great tour, very nice and knowledgeable guide. And also a great driver.
We did all the activities planned just in time and with a lot of interesting facts from our guide. We had plenty of time to enjoy of each atracttion and even got some time to hike in Cape Point. Really recommend it.
Greaz experience. The guide Mike was awesome and the driver Brian drove us safeley. Pretty good value for money. Would do it again
Our trip was great, even with the day a bit cloudy. First we stop to see the sea lions and the boat ride. I chose not to do it and stayed exploring the local trade (I found the prices more affordable than in the Cape town center trade). Then we went to the penguins observation, very cool too, we saw many of them there. Then we went to lunch which was very tasty and at a fair price. Finally we went to the “cape of good hope”. There we had an excellent view and a 45-minute walk. We observed some animals such as ostrichs, the united and antelopes. Our guide Lusanda and Driver Brian were great and punctual
The excursion "Penguins and Cape of Good Hope" with Baz Bus from Cape Town was an absolute highlight of my trip. The organization was excellent – timely pickup, a comfortable bus, and a pleasant group size made the day very relaxing. Our guide Lusanda was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared many interesting facts about the region, wildlife, and history without it feeling overwhelming. The visit to the penguins at Boulders Beach was particularly impressive – seeing the animals up close was an unforgettable experience. The Cape of Good Hope itself also exceeded all expectations. The landscape is breathtaking, and there was plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the surroundings. The route along the coast was also beautiful and a true highlight in itself. Overall, the excursion was very well organized, varied, and absolutely recommendable for anyone wanting to experience the nature around Cape Town. I would book it again at any time.
Great day all around, saw multiple wild animals (penguins, seals, elands, ostriches, caracal cats, baboons, pigs) as well as fantastic scenery. Great hike at the Cape of Good Hope. The day was very well organized, with clear indications beforehand and during the day. Lastly, our host Mike was very knowledgeable, welcoming and just made the day very pleasant. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
