Description

Begin with a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast, passing through the cosmopolitan suburbs of Sea Point and Camps Bay with its glorious views of the Twelve Apostles. From here we travel to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, comprising over 17,300 acres of indigenous fauna and flora. Here we can see a variety of wildlife. Birdwatchers, too, will find many fine species to observe. The majestic coastline offers drama worthy of being called "Nature's Greatest Show." We'll be able to see the union of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (as per legend) and may even feel the brisk wind that is dubbed the "Cape Doctor" for its presumed curative powers. Following the coastline along False Bay, we'll return to Cape Town by way of the Simon's Town (optional, own account & time permitting visit to Penguin colony) and Fish Hoek fishing village. We return to Cape Town, passing the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial, and the Groote Schuur Hospital.

Mukhtar May Magical Trip

You get a guide than you get Mukhtar. From set go he A Amazing. Some guides just read off their manual scripts but not Mukhtar you can hear how informative he was he left out no detail. He answered all our questions. At every stop the history that he give us was impressive. If you guys have a jewel or rather me use a rare diamond it's Mukhtar May. Until now we speak about this amazing gentleman. He has left a ever fix mark in our hearts. I would recommend him any day. He was brilliant I tell you brilliant. Well done Mukhtar you are truly a unique individual and your knowledge of Cape Town is nothing but remarkable..God bless you and may you grow from strength to strength

<p>Our guide Ashely was great. We had 5 other guests in the van plus the two of us. We were the first guests picked up at 8am and dropped off last at 1.45pm. The half day tour is too quick. You do not get a chance to get out and view or photograph much. It was mainly driving and looking through the window. When you get to the Cape of Good Hope - it's so crowded. The group ended up skipping the penguins as 3 from the van had to be back at 1.30pm for a Township Tour. The tour was rushed. Ashely was great and very friendly. His commentary was spot on. He apologized for not seeing the penguins - but again due to timing and also the group decided not to try to see them, all good. Try and offer a full day, with coffee breaks, light lunch and more getting out of the car. This tour would suit those who prefer seeing all from the window.</p>

<p>Overall a good experience. Driver was experienced and knew his facts. Its a lot of driving for the sights you see along the way, but it's understandable. The driver was cranky at times, not as friendly as you might Hope. Overall we had a good time and we are glad we took the tour.</p>
