Enjoyed this trip and the guide was very knowledgable and amusing. However, there was some confusion about the pick-up time and we had to have the hotel call to check that someone was coming to collect us, even though everything was confirmed before we left. Hotel said that they normally received details of final pick-up time from the Agent, but not this time. We were lucky and able to go up Table Mountain, after some queuing. No discounts though, unless you are a South African Senior and then only 1 day per week. Desk staff advised poor visibility, but it was clear when we got to the top, although visibility fluctuated a bit, as did temperature. Felt the City tour was rather cursory, but presumably if the visit to Table Mountain hadn't been possible it would have expanded to fill the available time. Happy we were able to go up the mountain though, as the views were spectacular. Alan
This trip was a complete disaster! The bus that picked us up was not airconditioned in 30deg. heat in. The inclusions it is stated entrance, which considering we are going to Table Mountain one knew to be entrante to Table Mountain. When we got to the lift, we were told we merdes to get into the queue and pay for the lift up from the bus stand to the actual Table Mountain. They claimed that the inclusion meant entrance into the castle! And even that only if they had the time, which was really not clear. We ended up taking the red hop-on hop-off bus all the way down without seeing the top of Table Mountain, as I would not pay for it again.
Very good tour! Happened to pick a beautiful day to experience every aspect of this tour. Driver was very knowledgeable and courteous.
Interesting trip with the driver of the capable Springbok and efficente
The tour guide (named "Super") was outstanding. He was very informative on the entire history of Cape Town and did his best to get us to Table Mountain after the fog lifted. Outstanding.
I highly recommend this tour. Our guide "Super" was a 'Super Guide". He provided alot of information and made the tour very personal.
Table Mountain was wonderful! The weather was amazing. But the tour guide was not really good. Mobile phone was constantly ringing, guy was trying to answer mobile, drive a bus and meanwhile was giving us some information. We spent a lot of time in castle, checking the uniform of soldiers, while the time for Table Mountain was only 1 hour, inclusive of long queue to the ticket office. Taking into consideration great weather I'd better spend 2-3 hours on the top of mountain instead... As a conclusion I'd better recommend Hop on - Hop off bus + Table Mountain
My guide was very knowledgeable on a wide range of topics and displayed a passion and commitment to giving her clients the absolute best experience possible. Well done.
Really enjoyed the tour, only wish the weather was as cooperative as the tour guide.
Very good introduction to Cape Town. Good guide. Spectacular views from Table Mountain. Unexpectedly interesting visit to the diamond polishing business.
Very delayed departure, very poor information.
A little rushed, but overall amazing time!
The tour was great, the only problem was the weather on that day. We did not get to see the view from table mountain because of the low clouds that day. The mountain was coverded with clouds.
I regret that the cable car activity was not included although we were promised to have been included as part of the activities of the tour.
Great trip & very informative guide in Cape Town. No where near enough time at top of Table Mountain. Only given 45mins when in fact 2-3 hrs would be better, certainly for me.
