Half Day Experience in Robben Island Museum From Cape Town

The ferry experience was less than desired. It was late leaving and even later arriving back causing us to miss our next tour. The people on the ferry were excellent but we were late for no known reason.

A lot of confusion with our tickets when we arrived at the museum. We entered all details (passport etc) when booking but these details were not in the system and there was a question mark over whether or not we could board the ferry due to headcount; even though we had confirmed tickets. Otherwise the tour of Robben Island was great and the history of what happened on the island heartbreaking. Worth a visit. Just make sure you have all tickets confirmed.

45 minutes before was checked in, the best places at the top of the window were quickly taken.On the way there were dolphins to see.On the island of penguins and on the jetty in Cape Town lake seals.The bus ride took a long time,the explanations were too long.The tour with the former prisoner was difficult to understand if you don't speak perfect English.More boards that you can translate would be helpful.

Very interesting. Ex prisoner giving talk was excellent as was the guide on the bus. The tour was at 11 am and we were lucky as due to winds the afternoon tours were cancelled.

Hearing about the history of the prison was great. Doing the bus tour around some of the island gave a great insight to the way of life there.

To do but too bad not to understand everything of the English guide. No waiting everything is well organized. Memorial in progress

The tour was grounding and sombering. I returned with great respect for the ex prisoners of Robben Island after hearing first hand narration from one of the “ex-cons”

+1

We never received the tickets we purchased and had to purchase further tickets from another source. This caused stress when we went to board the ferry.

As a student visiting Cape Town from the Eastern Cape, I had the privilege of joining a tour with Raw Tours, and it was one of the most eye-opening and memorable experiences of my life. Being able to walk through places like Robben Island and Table Mountain, which I had only read about in books, made me feel so inspired and connected to our country’s history and beauty. The guides were welcoming, patient, and very informative. They made the stories come alive and were happy to answer questions — I learned so much while having fun. Everything was well organized, safe, and comfortable, which is something I really appreciated as a young traveler. Thank you, Raw Tours, for making this possible. I’ll never forget this journey, and I’ll definitely encourage more students from home to experience it too!

My friends and I had the most amazing time touring with Raw Tours! From the moment we were picked up, we felt like VIPs — everything was fun, well-organized, and stress-free. The guide was not only knowledgeable but also super friendly and great at keeping the energy up throughout the day. We laughed, explored, learned, and took so many beautiful photos together. Whether it was the stunning views, the hidden gems around Cape Town, or the great company, every moment felt special. It was the perfect time for my friends and I to explore the mother city. We have stayed in Cape Town all our lives but never seen most parts of it I’m glad I chose Raw Tours to guide us through this experience. If you’re planning a group outing or just want to create amazing memories with your people, Raw Tours is the way to go. 10/10 — we’re already planning the next one!
