SCAM!!!! I got to the Robbin Island ferry and they told me Beyond Africa Safaris & Tours didn't pay for my ticket third party so I had to re-buy my tickets and could not go to the Diamond Museum.
Good day Valued Client Thank you for your review. We have acknowledged your concerns however we do want to bring to your attention that we were at your hotel for pick up and waited for 3 hours and you did not show. We then messaged you and also tried to contact you via the Viator platform with no response from you. We even went further to call the number you provided and it went to voicemail. The hotel that you added for pick-up confirmed that you were not on their system. With regards to Robben Island, we did have technical issues with our ticketing system however all clients were allowed on the ferry. We do apologise for any inconvenience caused however we did try our best to make this tour happen. We wish you all the best with your future travels.
This was the worst experience we ever had with a tour operator. They canceled the tour, then said it was on and they would give us a pickup time. Several communication attempts with them and no pickup time until finally at 11:04PM (after we were asleep) a text arrived that they would pick up at 8:00AM the next morning- even though we booked for 10:00AM. Did not see the text until the tour guide woke us up the next morning at 8:00 AM. Do not ever use this company again! No apologies given and no credit given for our inconvenience and wasted time. The contracted tour guide who drove us (Marshall) was very nice but he showed us that he was never given our contact number until 8:20 that morning so he was not able to contact us in advance. Viator and Trip Advisor should never allow any of its customers to go through this experience.
Dear Mark, Good morning. First and foremost we would like to apologise for the inconvenience and the way the communication was done between us. On behalf of the entire team, kindly accept our apology. We are glad to hear that Marshall was a great host and that the tour took place. We understand that you booked the tickets for 10:00 am for the 11H00 boat trip. However due to high volumes of travellers during the festive season the tickets at Robben Island become a big issue as they are in high demand. We chose that boat slot as we got a hint that there was a possibility to cancel the 11H00 boat by Robben Island and we did not want our clients to miss this experience. We wish you all the best for your future travels.
Excellent day out, must do on a trip to cape town. Enjoyable boat trip out to the island, great views of cape town. The tour itself was very informative, the guides were helpful and funny. Quite moving seeing nelsons prison cell and hearing all about his captured life.
Good day Valued Client It was only a pleasure to show you around. Thank you for the recommendation and delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour at Robben Island and could experience and see the prison cell. Travel safe.
This is a great tour. All the details are taken care of for you. Ray our excellent tour guide contacted us the night before and told us what we needed to have to go to Ruben Island as well as what time he would pick us up. Ray gave us an overview of Cape Towno. The way to the dock. The ferry ride was a bit choppy but very happy that it went. A bus tour of the island occurs first and that gives you an overview of the facility. AN ex-inmate then give you a tour of the prison in detail and that is excellent. His personal experiences makes it rich. You get the sense of what it was like to be there as well as a history of the movement to end apartheid. Ray met us after the ferry took us back and we did the Shaminky Diamond tour. It is the history of diamonds and gold i South Africa. The showroom is open afterwards for business. They have wonderful pieces. Ray very generously took us to Table Mountain which was not on the itinerary and went to the top with us and give us an overview of what we were looking at. Thanks Ray- much appreciated. A wonderful day was had and made easier by a friendly, easy going guide.
Good day Valued Client It was a pleasure showing you around and wish to say thank you for your your detailed review. Your guide is delighted to hear that you had a great experience on this tour. Keep these memories and historic places that you have seen with you in the future to keep recommending the rest of the world. Travel safe

Thank you to our guide Ibby who had a great general understanding of the complete logistics for the tour. we arrived to the gateway on time to be cheked in correctly and even enjoy the educational video offerd to us by the robben island team.
