The visit to Table mountain via cable car was a highlight followed by a visit to the penguins. Enoch our driver was very helpful avoiding the crowds and ques for tickets. I recommend the Cable car visit in the morning to avoid crowds and the heat of the day. If the weather is fine you can see for miles around Cape Town. It's worth mentioning the cable car itself, a very modern design and unique rotating floor which turns around 360° as the car travels smoothly and quickly up the inclined cable to in a few minutes to the top allowing everyone on board to have a 360° view all around the district. There is a restaurant, toilets and a comprehensive walking path around the table top. We had 90 minutes to enjoy the view and the walk. I highly recommend this as a "must see" experience. The penguins are a delight to see them on their nests in the sand and lining up along the waters edge with their young. We only saw the African penguins although there are four species that frequent the area. There are gift shops and a small market adjascent to the beach where you can try your hand at bargaining with the sellers and an icecream shop worth a visit.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that your visit to Table Mountain and the penguins was a highlight of your time in Cape Town. It’s wonderful to know that Enoch helped make your day smoother by avoiding the crowds and queues—he’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. Your tip about visiting the cable car in the morning is spot on, and we’re glad you were able to enjoy the spectacular views, the rotating cable car, and the time to walk around the top at a relaxed pace. We’re also happy you enjoyed seeing the African penguins and exploring the nearby shops and market—it really is a special area that adds to the overall experience. Thank you again for the strong recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable visit in the future.
Amazing day with Zaine he was great fun,informative and a credit to the company and made our day awesome despite the wind.we saw and learnt so much .Thank you from the Emma's
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had an amazing day with Zaine. He takes great pride in delivering informative and enjoyable experiences, and we’re pleased he was able to make your day special despite the windy conditions. We truly appreciate you choosing our services and hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future.
The tour itself was good in terms of itinerary. The wait at Table Mountain was too long. Also, our guide did not even take us to our final stop which was muizenberg Beach. He also didn't give us our complimentary water and when we asked to stop so we can get it ourselves, our guide got frustrated and said it takes up more time but reluctantly took us. Not impressed with the guide but we enjoyed the itinerary. We got the water ourselves. Considering we had come off of a long flight, we expected better service and a more understanding guide.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the itinerary, but we’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with the guide and certain parts of the day did not meet your expectations. Waiting times at Table Mountain can occasionally be longer due to weather and cable car queues, but we understand how frustrating that can be after a long flight. Your comments about the missed Muizenberg stop and the handling of your water request are concerning, and we’ll be addressing this directly with our team to ensure better communication and service in the future.
Be careful with the line in table mountain try not to arrive too late because we were waiting for 1 hour . But afterwards the guide was much more helpful.
"Thanks for sharing your experience! Sorry to hear you had to wait for an hour at Table Mountain - we'll work on improving our timing. Glad our guide was helpful afterwards, though. Appreciate your feedback. Regards Wish2C Tours
We had the most amazing tour with Zaine. He was so informative. He got us some local foods to try in Bo Kaap and we cannot stop talking about the cook sistas! Table mountain had little visibility on the day of our tour so instead we chose to do cape point and were so pleased we did. We saw so much. Our children were very disappointed that we couldn't have a tour with Zaine again the next day. Would highly recommend this tour!
A huge thank you for sharing your wonderful review. We're thrilled you had an amazing time with Zaine - his knowledge and passion shine through. The Cook's Sistas food experience sounds like a highlight! Flexibility is key, and we're glad you enjoyed Cape Point instead of Table Mountain. We're delighted your family loved the tour and can't wait to have Zaine guide others. Regards Wish2C Tours

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad you had an amazing half-day tour and enjoyed the incredible views of Table Mountain and the adorable African penguins. 🐧✨ Your recommendation means a lot to us.
On the day of the trip we were left waiting at our hotel. No pick up. Our receptionist rang the company who said trip was cancelled as Table Mountain was ‘ under maintenance ‘. We’d had no call or email to tell us this. Extremely disappointed and annoyed we’d had no notice. Not good enough. We had to make other arrangements and pay again Still waiting to hear about a refund !! We expect more from trip advisor and their local company Wish2Tours.
Good day, Thank you for your review. We had process your refund of the booking and we also had inform you via email that tour is cancelled due to Table Mountain closed for annual maintenance from 15 July - 1 September 2024.

I really enjoyed the tour, the service and food was amazing, my kids absolutely adored the little penguins and we learnt so much on Table Mountain. Cape Town is a beautiful place to visit and I will definitely be booking with Wish 2 C Tours again, due to their kind staff and professionalism. 😊
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted you and your kids had a blast, especially with the adorable penguins. Table Mountain's scenic views and rich history are always a highlight. We're thrilled you appreciated our staff's kindness and professionalism.
Overall the service was phenomenal. I had the opportunity to see Table Mountain and the Guide was extremely helpful and had amazing information for me to capture. My first experience with penguins was nothing short of magical. If you ever get a chance a penguin encounter is a must. The scenery in itself was worth the trip. Thank you.
