About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Dazznat0 contributionsYou won’t be disappointed!!!Full day tour covering for me all the major coastal scenic highlights of Cape Town. Gordon our guide certainly keep us focused with good local and historical knowledge which helped in giving an insight as to the history of the area. Well worth the experienceWritten 19 March 2025
- Passport527519316260 contributionsFantastic Full-Day Tour – Highly Recommended!We had an amazing day exploring some of the most iconic sights around Cape Town, including Table Mountain, Boulders Beach, and the Cape of Good Hope. The tour was well-organised, with a perfect mix of sightseeing, wildlife, and stunning landscapes. Our guide, Gordon, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting insights, not just about the locations we visited but also about Cape Town and the surrounding areas. He went out of his way to make the day smooth and enjoyable, avoiding queues where possible and even booking a table for lunch, which was a great touch. The itinerary was packed and a little rushed in places but I had expected this maybe the case when I booked, due to the packed itinerary. We were picked up at 8 a.m. and returned to our hotel around 7 p.m., having seen and experienced so much in one day.Written 18 March 2025
- 899acc0 contributionsAmazing tourWe had an amazing day filled with breathtaking views, including adorable penguins and seals. The tour was very well organized, with perfect timing at every stop, allowing us to fully enjoy each location. Transportation was comfortable, making the journey even more pleasant. A special thanks to our guide, Wilson, who was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring we had the best experience.Written 18 March 2025
- jomP8324JP0 contributionsLots of fun and several stops at interesting sites.Refreshing stops and a nice seafood restaurant we had lunch at.Nathan our driver was good quality and very knowledgable explaining that the sites that we were seeing along the way. He was fun to be with and very worthwhile to spend a day at Simon town colony of Penguins and the Cape of Good Hope plus a cable car ride up Table Mountain at the end.Written 18 March 2025
- Voyager081819744920 contributionsThe must do Cape Town tour!Wilson was a terrific, patient and informative guide. His tour was a great blend of providing us with interesting information and also giving everyone space to enjoy the day at our own speed. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Cape Town (make sure you ask to stop off at the ostrich farm!)Written 18 March 2025
- mayankgarg11020 contributionsPleasant day in CTPleasant tour with a great guide. On point, well organised.we were picked from our apartment and left there, the guide was very helpfulWritten 17 March 2025
- U3334GLpaulat0 contributionsFantastic memorable tripA great trip to Cape Point, penguins and breathtaking drive through the national park. Gordon was a super guide happily giving us lots of information along the way as well as stopping at view points to take in the scenery. Would highly recommend this company to see the Capes wonders.Written 17 March 2025
- cvckiri0 contributionsAppalling customer service and downright unbelievable excuses.There is something very suspicious going on. Our trip was cancelled due to 'poor weather and rough conditions'. The sea was a mill pond with not a breaker in sight- even from the motorway. We were told by the manager that they go by the weather conditions on an app which he showed us and then told us the app was not always reliable. One of the other passengers had had his trip cancelled 3 times in 2 days. They take 7 days to refund one - 7 seconds to take payment. My friend has waited 20 years to go and this was the result. Some passengers believe they cancel if the boat is not at capacity but would never admit it and keep making interest on the payments they retain for 7 days. Somebody else needs to run these trips. The excuses are embarrassing and in a country where customer service is amazing Robben Island yours should hang their heads in shame!!!!Written 17 March 2025
- jak25040 contributionsFab Day OutAbsolutely amazing day with fabulous guide Sylvie who was very informative and so knowledgeable and amazing driver. Would definitely recommend this tripWritten 17 March 2025

We are a married, retired couple from the middle United States. We spent a few days in Cape Town before a cruise up the east coast of South Africa. We chose this one day tour that promised visits to Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, a penguin colony, and other locations of interest.
We can truly say that our Cape Town tour with Marshall (aka Barnabas) was one of the very best tour experiences we have had in decades of travel. He was the perfect guide. He picked us up on time at our hotel, transported us safely in a comfortable car, and smoothly gained us entrance to each spot we visited. He also planned and executed the itinerary in the most efficient manner, so we were able to visit a dizzying number of significant locations (Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, Seal Island, Penguin colony) in one day without feeling rushed, and also avoiding or minimizing competing with crowds. He knew exactly how long one would want to spend at each location, but also allowed us the freedom to choose more or less time.
Perhaps most important, however, he has a charming personality, and we felt at ease with him instantly. He gave us great information, and answered all our questions in depth. We ended up having delightful and interesting discussions of everything from tribal customs to current urban issues to our respective tastes in music. We also enjoyed lots of laughs. Although we both are several years older than Marshall, we felt we had spent the day having a local friend show us around. You cannot go wrong having Marshall give you this tour.

We travelled on 21 February in a small group of 16 people. Our guide was Sylvie. We had a fantastic day. Sylvie is a star and was brilliant both providing information, looking after us as a group and making us all laugh with her amazing sense of humour. The driver was top notch. If you get Sylvie and the same driver on the trip you have struck gold

Our time in Cape Town was limited to just 2 days so we wanted to make sure we saw as much as we could. For these purposes this trip could not have been better. It took about 8 hours and our guide, Reuben, was very friendly, accommodative, and knowledgeable. He helped fill in alot of the information around what we were seeing and even took us to a secondary spot for views of the city since Table Mountain ended up being closed when we were there due to weather.
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in getting the highlights. And request Reuben! He was great.

I booked the tour in French but was included in an English speaking group, without full translation by the guide Sylvie despite my protest. I paid the same as the other tourists but was not offered the guided tour in French. A scam by Beyond Africa Safaris, whose advertising is misleading. Our group had to pay R 215 for the penguins, R 455 for Cape Point National Park, R 80 for the Cape Point bus (the funicular was not working) and R 420 for Table Mountain. These tickets are not included in the price as published.

We booked a full day tour to see as much as humanly possible of Cape Town in one day, and it did not disappoint. Our guide, Ruben, was very well versed in the history of the area. He expertly guided us to all of the must-see locations with interesting commentary along the way. Unfortunately, Mother Nature was not on our side, and we weren't able to ride the gondella up Table Mountain, but Ruben made sure to take us to another overlook that provided spectacular views. This tour is something that we will remember for a very long time.

Peter picked us up at our hotel for a private tour of Table Mountain and the Cape peninsula. To be honest Peter, as our guide, was one of the highlights of our day. He was personable, had a great sense of humor and was extremely knowledgeable. We started out at Table Mountain which was challenging as every tourist in Cape Town decided to go the same morning as us. I would highly recommend paying extra for the fast pass if there is a long line, because we waiting a few hours to take the cable car up. If we had known better, we would have definitely splurged for the fast pass, it would have been worth every rand. We did meet some nice people in line and the time went quickly but we would have preferred to spend our time elsewhere. Peter did a great job sharing the history of South Africa, specifically the Cape area, with us and some of the challenges the country faces. He was very helpful in taking our photos at different sites which was appreciated. He shared some beautiful spots with us and took us to see the penguins at Boulders Beach, where a significant colony of African Penguins aka Jackass Penguins lives. We also stopped for a photo op at Cape of Good Hope. I would recommend Peter as a guide for whatever tour you are interested in. I understand he leads a number of tours not only in the Cape area but several multi-day tours as well. Good job Peter!

We spent the entire day covering a large area without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Our guide Ray made our experience a “ once in a lifetime “ event. Weather prevented our table mountain portion so he added others which expanded our interface with the Cape Town peninsula Well done !!!! We used our table mountain tickets the next day

We wanted a private tour that would allow us to see as many of the “must” experience highlights of Cape Town and at the same time provide us with a solid introduction to the country and region. Our guide, Ruben, and this tour delivered a perfect day that exceeded our expectations in every way. From the introduction we knew it would be great. Ruben was early to our hotel, arrived in a spotless luxury vehicle and was the kindest and most thoughtful guide we’ve ever toured with. His knowledge was thorough and he tailored the day to maximize our experience. We were able to do everything we had hoped to and more. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town and wanting to experience the main attractions.

Wow! what a day, from the start at 8.30 to finishing at 7pm this was a full on day to see some fabulous sights from the Penguins at Boulder beach to Table Mountain and lots in between. Our guide Jean was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Whilst a little pricey it was well worth it to have the personalised service and the air conditioning of the car in what was a very hot day

This was absolutely the best experience in Cape Town. Jeff Mathenga, our private tour guide, truly provided the best experience for three traveling women, looking to see all that Cape Town has to offer. He was very knowledgeable on the history of all the different locations. He took us to and also was very aware of the best times and places to take on the journey of the day. This helped us avoid any major traffic and also get the most out of our experience. It is a rather long day, definitely suggest great rest the night before and comfortable shoes. I’m so glad that we were able to see so many things in one day, Jeff knew all the best spots for photos and to get a really great experience. Definitely would book again.
