Itinerary
Table Mountain
Admission not included120 min
Start your tour with a pickup from your Cape Town hotel, and then travel into heart of the Mother City by air-conditioned minivan. As you travel, chat with your guide about the city and the attractions that you want to see; the itinerary is flexible and can be tailored to the sights you want to see.
Perhaps start with a cable car ride up Table Mountain, the city’s famous UNESCO World Heritage site. The ride is at your own expense and subject to good weather conditions, but once at the top, the views are magnificent. During July/August the cable car is closed for about two weeks for annual maintenance, but the hiking trails remain open.
Signal Hill
60 min
Alternatively, skip the ride and travel up Signal Hill by minivan. The hill is a classic Cape Town vantage point and a picturesque spot for ogling the city and beach vistas.
Return to town for a walking tour around Cape Town itself.
Company's Gardens
45 min
Wander past Company’s Gardens, a colonial-era park boasting a pretty Rose Garden and large fish pond. Walk past several sites linked to the city’s tenuous history with slavery such as Slave Lodge and the Old Slave Tree, and gaze at top Cape Town attractions including the Houses of Parliament.
Greenmarket Square
30 min
Greenmarket Square and St George’s Mall are also worked in to your route.
Noon Day Gun
30 min
Return to your minivan for a visit to Noon Gun — Cape Town’s historical time signal — plus the colorful neighborhood of Bo-Kaap.
Bo-kaap
30 min
Stop for photos by the candy-coloured houses, and hear how the district has changed from a shanty town to a vibrant city neighbourhood with a melting pot of cultures.
V&A Waterfront
Admission not included120 min
Enjoy a break at the V&A Waterfront for lunch and perhaps a boat ride around the harbour (both at your own expense). After enjoying some free time, meet back up with your guide, and then relax on a scenic drive alongside the Atlantic coastline.
Watch the waves crashing against the jagged shores, and pass through swanky neighbourhoods such as Clifton or Camps Bay. Your tour then finishes with a drop-off at your Cape Town hotel.

Great city with fantastic views
Cape Town is beautiful. The drive and walk around the many neighborhoods was great. We had time on our own to shop and enjoy the waterfront as well as take the cable car for amazing views from Tabletop mountain.

That's exactly what we aimed for with this comprehensive orientation tour of Cape Town's city. And there's no better way to explore a city with your very own local guide by your side.

Cape Town Day Tour with Liezel
We had an awesome day tour with Hotspots2c! We wanted to start off with a day tour around the city for our first full day in Cape Town and this tour was the perfect choice. Liezel was an amazing guide! We learned so much about the city and were able to pack so much into one day. We only wish we could have had Liezel with us for the rest of our trip!

If you’re looking for a mediocre tour guide then go somewhere else. Liezel was absolutely incredible and you need to book with her. This was our first experience in Cape Town and Liezel helped us feel right at home. She was very educational (history of Cape Town, geography of Cape Town, culture, etc). She was very accommodating (bought us drinks, very patient as we stopped from place to place, always made she we were comfortable when riding in her vehicle, made sure we saw what we wanted to see). She was very pleasant (respectful, polite, well spoken). I could go on and on. Basically she was the best tour guide we’ve ever had, and we travel a lot. If you’re in need of a tour guide, and a new friend in Cape Town please please please book with Liezel!

Nice - we're wild about this. We’ve sent your praise on to Liezel and are super stoked you loved your tour so much! The way you’ve worded it is spot on: “if you’re looking for a mediocre guide - go somewhere else!!” We have a stellar team of passionate guides at Hotspots2c and pride ourselves in the value that they have to offer and add to any tour; Liezel being a prime example of this. Thanks, thanks and thanks again! Keep'on adventurin' - from Ferdi & team Hotspots2c

Very complete tour throughout the city
It was a full day excursion during our first day in Cape Town, it allows you to make a day of the history of the city. The guide was very friendly and patient with us although he could have told us more about the history of the city. Highly recommended to know more than Table Mountain
Operator response
Cape Town is a treasure chest of charming places, incredible sights, quirky locals, rich history and fascinating culture... yes, it's so much more than just Table Mountain! Make us so happy to know visitors love exploring all the hidden gems and learning more about the stories of old. Wishing you adventure always -from Ferdi & team Hotspots2c

Early on our first full day in Cape...
<p>Early on our first full day in Cape Town, we met our tour guide Eon hotspots2c. Susan found him thru rave reviews on Viator we have used them extensively in numerous parts of the world and requested him by name for a private tour of Cape Town, South Africa SA. Eon is a native Capetonian and has a gregarious personality that shines through in sharing his love for his homeland. We had done our research as to some places to go, so Eon made sure that he matched the tour to our specific interests. We went to Table Mtn early, so we wouldnt get stuck in the long lines later and Eon answered all our questions on the flora and fauna there. Spent quite a bit of time running around taking photos of dassies and sunbirds and of course the view! Then headed over to Kirstenbosch Gardens and the boomslang, a fairly new addition for the 100th anniversary of the Gardens. Its a canopy walk thats shaped like a serpent, meandering high up in the canopy of trees. We were lucky enough to have found male and female spotted eagle owls resting in a tree while at the Gardens. Very cool! Saw the V and A Waterfront next. At the V and A, Eon took us to an inexpensive market that had all sorts of edible goodies, from biltong and kudu jerky, to SA beer, to smoothies, to chocolate covered nuts. We would never have found it on our own! Then on to the colorful Bo Kaap area with its gaily painted houses and flowers. You can't get a better private tour than this one, especially if Eon is your guide.</p>
