My guide Chris was so nice and gave me lots of information about Table Mountain and Robben Island. It's a lot to fit into one day so bring plenty of sun protection and water. I hiked at the top of Table Mountain for an hour and a half and the views are stunning. Wear a good pair of trainers or walking shoes if you want to explore as the floor is obviously rocky. Robben island is also a good tour and if you love history then you'll get so much out of being taken around the prison by a former inmate and the emotional stories they tell so definitely worth a visit. Go with Sadie Cape Town tours as they are on time and very friendly.

Penguins are the animals that are quite beautiful and adorable. Me and my husband were out for a vacation in cape town. as we landed a little early so we decided to take an advantage of our free time and during are second half of the day we hired a private tour guide to help us with nearby excursion so he took us to a winery and boulders beach to show us penguins. It was a wonderful experience and we really enjoyed every bit of our trip. Those penguins were love at first sight. They were so cute and adorable. Totally difficult to resist.

We spent a few days in Cape Town, however we would have missed so much if we didnt do this tour. Our guide not only took us to interesting places but he knew so much about each place and you could tell he really has a passion for Cape Town, its history and its people. Table Mountain was a big tick off the bucket list and our guide knew the perfect time for us to go in order to avoid the crazy long lines we had heard of. The best view of Cape Down is from way up in the clouds and we loved every part of the day !

Had a fantastic experience touring the cape with Zyon Escape Tours. You get your money's worth here. Spectacular views, scenic landscapes and one of the best ways to see many different breathtaking locations within Cape Town all in one day. Our guide Armando Ferreira was incredibly well informed about the historical background of the region and just gave off a great and friendly vibe, and everyone was having a blast. A big recommendation from my side and one of the very best agencies for tours in Cape Town, South Africa.
