From the heights of Table Mountain to the wild beauty of Cape Point, every stop was unforgettable. We cruised Chapman’s Peak, met penguins at Boulders Beach, and soaked in Muizenberg’s coastal vibe. The city tour tied it all together with history and heart. A day of wonder, perfectly guided.

It couldn’t be better, a fantastic guide.

Jean Marie knows his way around and has a wonderful lovable way of imparting his excellent local knowledge. We have booked it several times, this year for a three-day tour to all the sights of the city and the surrounding area . We learned a lot about the city, the surrounding area, the landscape, nature and history of South Africa. You can really only highly recommend it, it is absolutely reliable, very flexible and also makes excellent suggestions for, for example, weather-related required plan changes.

Operator response

Great First Day in Africa!

We had an amazing day visiting so many sights from Table Mountain to Mulzenberg. Our guide - Jean -was a wealth of information and so interested in us seeing all that there was to see - from wildlife, to rocks that sank ships. It was our first full day in Africa, but my husband kept saying. - today will be the highlight of my trip (yes, he knows we have safaris in our itinerary). Jean just made the day special.
