Robben Island museum tour is one of the most popular tourist attractions in South Africa and is likely to sell out in advance.
Embark on a unique opportunity to take the long walk to freedom in the historical footsteps of former President Nelson Mandela. See the prison cell that held & incarcerated him for 18 years of his 27-year imprisonment. Listen to the true-life experiences on the island as told by ex-political prisoners who will give you a live guided tour of the island.
Then the breathtaking view of Cape Town city, Table Mountain. one of the best tourist attractions in South Africa and one of the new World's seven wonders of nature, very rich in floral biodiversity, which is home to 8 200 and is part of the Cape Floral Kingdom world heritage site. Take a cableway cart and experience the beauty of Mother City from the far top.
Continue to Bo-Kaap, Company Gardens, St George,s Cathedral church, and Groote Kerk.

Overcharged by a HUGE amount by Cape Tours
Do NOT use this company Cape Tours to book this tour - they overcharged by 230 GBP!! I really recommend you book direct with Robben Island, and save yourself over 200 GBP! Unfortunately Aim Cape Tours are overcharging by a HUGe amount!! I hope this review can help save you some GBP.

Meeting the former political prisoner and having a conversation with him. The tour that everyone should experience. Detailing a period of history that should never be forgotten.

I was a little leery of this tour after reading reviews that described disorganiztion, but our experience was very smooth despite the necessary handoffs. Our Viator guide brought us all to the ferry station, and stayed behind as Robben Island has their own well trained bus tour guides and then ex prisoner guides for the high security prison. Our Viator guide was clearly waiting for us upon return, it was an easy rendezvous. We had lunch at the top of Table Mountain, I would recommend waiting to buy tram tickets until on site, as the trams shut down in heavy winds. Our driver took us to the kiosk which is apparently the best kept secret in the world as there were lines at the ticket booths, but absolutely no one at the kiosk!

We had the best time with our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, Amiable! What makes this tour standout from others is the extra town visits - bo kapp and the gardens and the history of the churches were my faves!
The Robben Island tour was informative with previous inmate sharing his personal stories and the history of the island. The table mountain cable car is a must! We were blessed with a stunningly perfect day - not windy and clear skies - it was actually an advantage the tour ticket does not include the cable car tickets as the local weather on top of the mountain is unpredictable so there will be days it will be closed. Plus, the tickets are easy to buy on the day!
So yes, I highly recommend this tour, worth every dollar! Kudos to the operators!

The original date was cancelled due to poor weather but it was re-scheduled the next day. All of the guides during this tour were excellent. Very easy coordinating with agency. Robben island tour was emotional & informational. Added tour at table mountain & bo-kap was amazing. Highly recommended

The actual tour guide was nice. However for the Robben Island tour the cost is essentially for a transfer from your hotel to the waterfront. We were charged $200 US for 2 people. The cost of each ticket direct was $50 US each. So they charged $100 US for the 10 minute transfer and brief walk to the harbour. The guide for robben island was included part of the $50 US ticket.

We had a very good experience on Robin Island but the only challenge was that our boat going over was delayed for 50 minutes and so that was very frustrating. The former prisoner who was our guide was extremely informative and interesting. The water was pretty rough coming back.
