This tour was absolutely everything I wanted and more! I was picked up by Faz and her driver right in time. Before the Robben island-part she showed me some other places regarding Nelson Mandela like the statue of nelson Mandela’s glasses in sea point. Faz also has a lot of information to share about anything in Cape Town. She is very well organized, I didn’t have to worry about the Robben island tickets, water and snacks. She had that all ready for me. After the Robben Island she took me to some other interesting places in Cape Town like the colored houses and a rooftop bar. She takes a lot of photos to capture the experience which is really nice. There’s also a lot of flexibility in this tour. Faz listens to what you want to see and what you want to know and adjusts the tour to your needs. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!
Hey There Maaike, What a lovely time we spent with your kind self! Many thanks for your raving review, we appreciate you taking time out to do so! Was really awesome to take you around, you are a great listener and it was an honor to be in the company of a boat captain! You are not just a pretty face, but you are super smart too! :) I hope to see you and your parents on your next trip. Take care and hope you have a fabulous high season! Take care and i wish you all the best for your future. Faz
Was unforgettable experience and alot of information was heavy for me to hear it but really enlighten. Such experience
Halllooo there Muna, aww, i see what you mean the review is incomplete! I think you were too fast and excited to review us. I know you wanted to write more about the experience, but Viator will not allow you to review twice on the same portal. So I guess we must make our customers wonder what your words would have been ...Im certain it would have been positive as you rated us 5 fantastic stars! we appreciate it sooooooo very much. All my best wishes to you. Faziela.
The guide was friendly and shared her personal story. She takes you to little known places and stops that enhance the Robben Island experience. Robben Island was a very emotional experience that I will never forget. I felt I was given personalized treatment and she even helped make special accommodations for me as I am disabled. Thank you for a marvelous experience.
Susan you are far too kind and I just want to say it was great to be in your company. We love to take our valued guests to some of the not so trodden spaces indeed. I hope you will come back again to do the visit to the most Southern tip of Africa Cape Agulhas. Hope you enjoy the last few days in our beautiful City. Wishing you health and happiness and safety always.
I had a great time with Faziela before going to visit Robben Island. She showed many interesting and peculiar things about Cape Town which only locals like her would know. Faziela is very kind, open-minded, and fun to hang around with. She took good care of me and made sure I had an awesome experience in Cape Town. I definately recomend booking a tour with her company if you are travelling alone.
