It's an excellent tour. I don't remember my tour guide name but you can easy find out who was it. The gentleman went above and beyond show us everything possible. He's prepared, didn't rushed anybody, took pictures. I really enjoyed this tour. Although on the way back we'd many obstacles due to film shooting and big bicycles tournament scheduled for next day, he really worked hard to navigate through the city. many streets were closed. Well, one lady from Wisconsin gave him really hard time that I was ashamed of her behavior. I'm writing about this because she threaten the tour guide of the bad review. So, just in case if she will write.

Had a great time on this tour. Perfect for solos. Felt safe the whole time. We weren't able to go to table mountain because of the weather so it finished a little earlier but our guide was very nice and informative too. Keep in mind there are entrance fees to pay too.

Excellent day - packed in a lot! Our tour guide Armand was very interesting and provided lots of information on the various areas we visited. Definitely recommended if you only have a short time in Cape Town (or even if you don't and would like a knowledgeable tour)

When we woke up there was a very thick fog and we didn't expect much (obviously not the tour guides fault) but by mid morning the weather was beautiful. Lucadol was a brilliant and knowledgeable guide who was very interactive with the group we were apart of. He was professional and was more than willing to take photos for us all. Nothing was too much trouble. We were supposed to start at table Mountain but due to the fog we postponed it until later in the afternoon! Was a very wise move! All throughout the trip we were well informed about local sights and monuments etc. And we had just the right amount of time at all the key spots we stopped at. Overall it was an amazing day and well worth the money! I'd recommend doing the small group tour as you make friends with your group for the day!

Had a great experience with Viator. Francis was super friendly and made sure we covered all places without any hurry. It's a great tour to cover all places in Cape Town in a day. Would surely recommend to others.

This tour was an absolutely amazing experience! Our tour guide was David and he was so well organized, so punctual, so nice to all members in the group. The tour itself provides amazing views, a wonderful drive from Table Mountain to Chapman's Drive, to Cape of Good Hope, to Boulder beach. These are all wonderful things which a group of tourists cannot easily plan on their own, so the tour is very useful, because it cover so many beautiful locations in just one day. David was so knowledgeable, he explained so many different things: from historical details to urban planning in South Africa, from geography, population, weather to additional info about all towns we drove through. The whole atmosphere in this tour was great. i am so glad I booked this tour and would recommend it to all my friends.

We were sad not to get to go up to the top of Table Mountain due to low cloud but we loved the penguins at Boulders Beach and the colourful houses, the scenery and National Park and our very knowledgeable driver, Ruben ensured we had a good day nonetheless
