Ask for Rodney - We made a last-minute booking for this tour and Rodney was our tour guide and driver. We were extremely pleased with his service. We had a wonderful time and visited many great places. This tour involves a long drive, but it did not feel that way because Rodney engaged in conversation with us the entire time and kept us entertained. I highly recommend requesting Rodney as your tour guide if you decide to take this tour. You will not be disappointed.

A great way to spend a day seeing the southern tip of Africa! - This was a great day! Even though the weather was challenging (rainy and windy), our wonderful guide Kevin changed the order of things on the itinerary to make sure we got to see everything. The Penguins were awesome, Cape Agulhas was beautiful (windy and cold) with the ocean churned up, and the winery he chose for us was beautiful with very good wines! Kevin was knowledgeable, interesting, and a very safe driver. Highly recommend this tour!

To the ends of Africa - Our day trip with our guide Rodney was fantastic. Rodney served double duty as driver and guide in a spacious Toyota Rav 4. The trip was relaxing with amazing scenery. For us, Cape Agulhas was a "must see". Spectacular views. Rodney kept us informed and looked after our every need. Highly recommend.

Wonderful day trip to the southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas. - As review title states, It was a Wonderful day trip to the southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas. It is an unusual trip, long one, but it is worth to do it. Rodney arranged the trip in a way we were not rushed, and had decent time for most of the stops. Rodney was talkative, informative, a pleasure to have him around. Food at Mazambik restaurant at the Town Hermanus was very good. Penguin experience at Stoney Point in Betty’s Bay; much much better than Boulder Beach. The stop at Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate, fantastic. ( just needed half a day there alone :) ) Highly recommend this trip.

One of the most memorable life experiences in South Africa - The trip to Cape Agulhas was amazing! All the credit goes to our driver Joseph who took us to a winery, Cape Agulhas, and even stopped by some places as we required. Joseph shared with us his insights on the history of SA while we were on the road. We didn’t even feel the 3.5 hrs trip to get there since he made the trip enjoyable and unforgettable! Thanks Joseph, his company, and Viator app for such an amazing experience! I highly recommend it if you really want to visit the official place where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. It’s not Cape Point as it’s popularly advertised.

Holy Smokes! - The entire day was AMAZING with our guide, Rodney. He was friendly, fun, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable. This was a definite highlight of our trip. He went above and beyond to entertain our interests (stopping along the route for pictures) and photo antics. 10/10 highly recommend!!

Life time memory to take a photo - It's a nice place to take a photo where the 2 oceans meet, but you can't see it. The money you spent to climb the light house is waste. The 71 ladder steep steps climbing doesn't bring anything. It's also nearly 3hrs drive from the Cape town. There are no toilets. Especially for ladies.
