It was an equally eye opening and reflective experience. It was very important and compelling to hear first hand accounts from previous political prisoners. It was overwhelming for some tour attendees - which was understandable. A must do experience for those who visit Cape Town as there is a deep history of Robben Island of which most are unaware.

Robben Island
We learnt a lot but not enough time to explore the island at leisure. The ferry crossing was fine but the staff were not that knowledgeable about the wildlife etc seen on the crossing.

Penguins near the toilets
Driver on time to get us to Robben island ticket office. Took us inside and waited till boat boarding. Was distracted by mobile when asked for tickets. Was there when we arrived back from the island. The island is well worth a visit. A very moving experience. Saw penguins too at the toilet stop.

Good learning experience
I didn’t realize there were two parts and it was good to have the bus tour. Learned a lot and having a former prisoner give the history is very impactful. Was hard to hear the guide at times as the other group’s guide was very loud. Might be better with the whisper sound system to block out the background noise and when the full group isn’t able to fit into the space or when the room is too long & narrow.
事業者からの返答
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the combination of the bus tour and Robben Island visit both informative and impactful. Having a former political prisoner share their personal experiences is indeed one of the most meaningful aspects of the experience.
We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the audio and group dynamics during the guided portion of the tour. We understand how background noise and space limitations can sometimes affect the experience, and your suggestion regarding a whisper audio system is valuable feedback that we will share with our operations team for consideration.

Learn of history so as not to repeat it!
A sobering visit to Robben Island. The tour was very well done. Said picked us up from our hotel and we were first in line to board the ferry. Felt very safe. Dolphins, seals, a sea lion and sailboats helped lighten our mood on the way home.

Robben Island Tour is a must see in Cape Town.
