It was a very fantastic day with Telesphore -Godfrey Travel and Tours! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He allowed us to customize the tour for us to capture Cape Town in a day! He took us to Camps Bay as our final stop where we had a delicious meal and watched cultural dances at the beach! Thank you!
Made the best of an all day rainy weather. Could not use entrance cost for cable car to table mountain and should be refunded or the Izumi museum (we paid for) Driver was on time and excellent. Great suggestion for lunch at Codfathers.
