Robben Island and city tour

Despite being the only two people booked on the tour for the day (Robben Island and City Tour), we were given essentially a private tour of Cape Town by the wonderful Enrico. He was informative, friendly, and accommodating the entire day. We started our tour at our hotel (picked up by Enrico) who took us to the ferry port. From there, we went to Robben Island, without Enrico, as the island has its own guides in the form of ex-political prisoners. Would highly recommend as our guide around the island, Sparks, was brilliant. On our return to the mainland, Enrico showed us around the V&A waterfront, followed by a detailed driving tour of Cape Town. This included a trip up the cable car to the top of Table Mountain, where Enrico told us all about the fynbos and more about Cape Town from above. We finished our tour with a drive around Camps Bay and back to our hotel. A fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable tour which we would highly recommend to anyone who has not been to Cape Town before.

Had a bus driver called Mu’een and he looked after us for our 7 day tour around Cape Town and the surrounding area playing rugby and football matches and going to tourist spots. He made a maximum effort everyday making sure everyone was happy. He went out of his way to make a flag with the schools logo and sporting equipment on it and never stopped making us smile and laugh. He radiated positivity everyday no matter what the weather was like or how the sport fixtures had gone. On our last day he dressed up in full black tie attire and gave us an amazing send off from the airport. He was the nicest bus driver I have had the privilege of meeting and hope him all the best in the future.

I am late with this review but I couldn't not post because the service I received from Eric Tyalo, the Tour Guide and James, the driver was impeccable. Eric's, knowledge of the history and the city of Johannesburg was without doubt unmatched. We learned so much from the him and the Tours. We did the city tour, Soweto, Humankind, and several others and each one provided a different experience. We are very grateful for these 2 men, the knowledge they shared, and Tours provided.

The best tour, and even better tour guide (Rowan) ever for myself (Bradley) and Rebekah on our honeymoon Journey across South Africa. We only have the two days here in Cape Town and thanks to Rowan we saw, learnt and experienced so much in this short time, just the half day tour and it was exceptional. We would 100% recommend this to anyone, looked after to the fullest. All the best to Rowan, it was lovely meeting you. Happily return the favour if you visit our no way near as beautiful Leeds in the UK. Cape Town, is beautiful, we wish we had longer!

Best driver we have met! Mueen is his name. One week trip in cape town and garden route to port elisabeth. So friendly and humble driver. 100% reliable. A man with good vibes and wisdom.

Ended up going on this excursion on my own when my friend had her flight delayed. So glad I did! Mario was the nicest tour guide and made me feel right at ease, chatting away with history about South Africa and Stellenbosch. No question was off limits about history or culture. The drive through of the old town was just right. We made it to 1 winery, L’Avenir, which I was fine with so I could take my time. The tour of the grounds and cellar were nice and the ambiance was lovely. The pours were generous, the cheese pairing was perfect, and the bottles were reasonably priced and could be shipped internationally. Overall a great day! Recommended for single lady travelers, small or large groups!
