I would not book this tour but with this company. They did not provide me my ticket in time to catch the boat I was supposed to be on. They did not communicate the information I needed to know to find my way. They did not communicate that I needed to be on the boat at noon or I would be stuck until 2 pm. So, I spent 2 hours sitting on the dock waiting for a later boat and lost most of my afternoon. Do not book here.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the Robben Island Museum operates two ferry vessels for certain departures, with the second vessel typically leaving only 10–15 minutes after the first. As you were a last-minute booking, we were able to secure your place on the second vessel, which departed according to the museum’s scheduled time. We are sorry to hear that the boarding process and communication caused frustration. Your feedback is valuable, and we will continue working to improve the information we provide so that future guests have a smoother experience.
Robben island experience was great, the issue is the agency that charges double the amount you pay when you buy tickets from the harbor. This is a robbery because when I call to cancel i was denied to do so
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your Robben Island experience. We’re sorry you were disappointed with our cancellation policy. As stated at the time of booking, cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour qualify for a full refund. This policy exists because Robben Island tickets often sell out, and last-minute cancellations prevent other guests from booking. The same 24-hour cancellation policy is applied by Viator, Tripadvisor, and Booking.com. Our pricing reflects not only the ticket but also the advance booking service, reservation management, and customer support we provide.
Wish we had more time on the island. Would have preferred to stop at the quarry rather than a Cafe. Loved listening to the history and narratives of the ex political prisoner. It just felt rushed but thankyou
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed listening to the firsthand stories shared by the former political prisoner during your visit to Robben Island. We understand your wish to have had more time on the island and at the quarry. The tour operates within a fixed schedule set by the ferry and island operations, which can sometimes make parts of the experience feel rushed. We truly appreciate your comments and thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Wonderful tour! Amazing presentation from a former prisoner, he expressed his experiences with such passion. Quite emotional and heart warming.

Once you got off the ferry, the tour started with a crowded bus tour. You were not allowed to leave the bus, and I found it very uncomfortable driving around the island. On the plus side, the guide was nice and informative. The actual tour of the prison I felt was unfortuntelt pretty poor. You saw a few areas, but was poorly organized and didn't really give you a good feel of the place. The tour was run by an ex-prisoner though who shared some excellent stories which was the best part of the trip. I would either skip this tour, or if you really are interested book one of their private tour packages. On the private tours you can walk around many of the areas and I imagine have a much better experience.

The half-day tour with pre-booked tickets was seamless from start to finish. I expected it to be heavy (which it was), but our ex-prisoner guide brought so much warmth and gentle humour that it didn’t feel overwhelming. Hearing him talk about hope and resilience while walking through the cells actually left me feeling inspired rather than sad. Perfect way to spend a morning in Cape Town.

Did the half-day Robben Island tour with pre-booked tickets and it was exactly the right length. The ferry was smooth and relaxing, but once the ex-prisoner guide started speaking inside the prison, everything changed. He had this incredible ability to drop serious truths and then casually joke about prison food that had us all smiling. Standing in Mandela’s cell made me feel embarrassed about complaining when my coffee gets cold. A powerful, humbling morning done right.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that the half-day experience at Robben Island was both meaningful and well paced.

As a local, I finally did the half-day Robben Island tour. Pre-booked tickets made it easy. The ex-prisoner guide's honesty and humour caught me off guard. It was powerful without being overwhelming. Everyone visiting Cape Town should do this.

The half-day Robben Island tour was beautifully done. Pre-booked tickets meant no stress. The guide spoke so calmly about such heavy things and still managed to make us smile. Left the island feeling reflective and grateful.
