Cape Town Airport Shared Departure Transfer

My Rating

Transfer came on time at 5am. Unfortunately, as I was waiting for the reception people (not aware that they go off work at 12am) to inform me at my service apartment, the driver could not contact me until I came down). NB: Concierge at another Cape Town hotel could reach me without mishap.

Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl Valley Wine Day Trip

My Rating

Enjoyed the wine and cheese tasting at Paarl but the tasting of about 20 wines seems a bit of overdose. What was really enjoyable was the very honest and passionate sharing by tour guide Super (Hi Super! I mentioned you!!! ^_^) on the political, socio-economical and cultural aspects of South Africa.

The half hour to 40min timing given for Table Mountain is way too short when one has to queue for the cable car ride. Thank you Ordain for giving us close to one hour at Table Mountain! Best to go Table Mountain in the morning as the clouds usually cover it in the afternoon...

I love the coastal views of this tour and it's a pity that one gets to stay at each coastal point for about 5min to snap the lovely views before rushing to the next place. Still, the one day tour has been great to give all the places a "look-see" before one plans a more leisurely trip in future!

Forgot to confirm with agency about the timing of pick up. Tried calling on the day itself in the morning (7am onwards) but always get an engaged tone. Went Internet to check for other phone numbers (including USA) to call but couldn't reach anyone. Somewhat worried until the coach came at 8.45am to pick me up... Went to Corcovado in the late afternoon (3-4pm) and the sun was behind Christ the Redeemer statue. Not sure if it would be better if go in the morning or otherwise. Lunch provided was good and was careful not to order any drinks without checking the price. One can of coke ordered by fellow group member cost $8 reals! Otherwise, a good trip to Sugarloaf and Corcovado mountains.
