Excellent tour

That short half-day trip to the Cape of Good Hope and seeing the penguins at the Boulders Beach colony was well worth it. Our guide Jeff was very courteous and patiently explained things throughout the tour. I recommend it!

A true joy experiencing so much natural beauty!

We have had an incredible time on this tour! The pick up and drop off at our hotel was brilliant. Our tour guide, Gift Mulanda was fabulous! He gave us lots of information throughout our tour about the areas we were visiting or travelling through. He answered any questions we asked and gave us a great deal of history about different places we were seeing, which was all very interesting! The highlights for us were the penguins at Boulders Beach, the incredible drive to the Cape of Good Hope and Chapmans Peak Drive.
