Great experience and our guide was superb! Good communication and very well-organised. The guide even recommended and took us to a restaurant for lunch for us to experience African cuisine. We would highly recommend this tour and guide.

Had great excellent service with Paul Polana tours Robben Island tour, well informed staff. We had an spectacular experience and made quite a lot of memories just what I wanted. And I will come back.
Thank you for the great feedback.
Mr. Poblano was very professional and had great manners. He was well educated on several matters and the history of Cape Town. He was eager to share information, especially when he knew his customers were interested. We were taken to an excellent restaurant of his choosing as well as stopping by an art shop that was very interesting where he shared more historical insights. I would gladly recommend him for any of his listed suggestions. Our day with him was indeed a pleasure.
Thank you for the great feedback.

Thank you for the positive feedback.
Robben Island is closed at the moment so quite disappointed that Viator let us book this trip anyway as we booked it recently. However our guide took us to some other great places instead and we had a great day out.
Thank you for the great feedback.
Paul was absolutely amazing! Robben island was closed for maintenance throughout our journey so he called us and gave us a tailored itinerary and walked us through everything. He is extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from him. It was so amazing we booked him for a private tour the next day to go down the coast to cape of good hope and do that whole tour. 10/10 would recommend Paul to anyone!
Thank you for the positive feedback.
