We used Ilios Travel in Cape Town on a previous trip and decided to use them again on our second visit to Cape Town. Shadley picked us up for a half day Cape Winelands tour, and we had a great time. A half day tour is short so we visited two wineries. Shadley is very knowledgeable and picked two wineries that contrasted nicely--one that was very old and had a more casual feel and one that was upscale. First we went to Boschendal which is more casual and has a "farm" feel. I personally enjoyed the chocolate tasting...yum! Then we went to Delaire Graff, which is definitely much more upscale! Even in winter (June) the grounds of Delaire Graff were beautiful, and the wine was delicious. We ordered a charcuterie board to go with our Graff wine, which was very good. We were a group of 5 family members (all adults) and no wine connoisseurs, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely! I would recommend a whole day tour with lunch, though, to see more of the beautiful Cape Winelands area.
On our second day, Shafiek picked us up for a half day Cape Highlights tour. He was very knowledgeable and drove safely which is important on the scenic route (when you go you will understand my comment LOL...think Pacific Coast Highway.) Shafiek had interesting commentary about every vista and stop on the tour. This was our second Cape Highlights tour, and I would recommend a whole day trip with a stop to have lunch. The Cape Point stop has a funicular (cable car) to the top and curious baboons (so beware.) The park has closed the nice restaurant at this site and there is a small shop to grab a sandwich. We passed because it didn't look very appetizing. At our stop to see the penguins at Boulder Beach, you can grab a snack (chips, sodas, etc.) at the gift shop. Again, think about taking a whole day trip and stopping somewhere to have lunch and take in the beautiful views. We did not eat lunch before the tour so we did not want to waste time at a restaurant on a half day tour. The snacks held us over until dinner time.
All in all, Ilios Travel is a very good option for booking your tours in the Cape Town area!
