Customized tour in a comfortable BMW - We had an amazing experience with this private tour and highly recommend it! There are many options for the penguin tour, but most involve large buses, meaning you have to wait for other passengers during bathroom breaks, photos, etc. With this private tour, we could fully customize our itinerary based on our preferences, which made the day so much more enjoyable. A wonderful surprise was being upgraded from a standard sedan to a brand-new BMW—such a great send-off! One of my personal must-do’s was trying different fish and chips, so we stopped at Fish on the Rocks (yes, for breakfast!). We then continued to Noordhoek Farm Village, where we enjoyed delicious meat pies and coffee at a charming deli. Our driver, Xochitle, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, courteous, and always smiling. She not only took amazing pictures and videos of us but also suggested great stops along the route. One highlight was visiting a small, lesser-known penguin beach before heading to the main one, which gave us an up-close experience with the penguins. Another perk was receiving a link before the tour to pre-purchase our park passes, allowing us to skip the long entrance lines. Fish Hoek Beach was a lovely stop—we relaxed there for an hour and enjoyed some bunny chow. We also visited the vibrant, colorful houses at Muizenberg Beach before ending the day with an authentic braai at Ahmed’s Tikki House in the beautiful Bo-Kaap neighborhood. It was our favorite day in Cape Town, and Xochitle made it even more special. If you're looking for a personalized, hassle-free experience, this private tour is the way to go!

Excellent day out with Kelvin travelling around the Cape peninsula - We had a wonderful day with Kelvin travelling around the Cape Peninsula. Kelvin was so knowledgeable about the region and was happy to answer all our questions about living in South Africa. He was keen to ensure we saw everything we wanted to and added extra stops in when we decided there were places we didn’t want to go. The car was very comfortable and clean. Thoroughly recommend

Very knowledgeable &... - Very knowledgeable & capable of noting points of interest & historical context that could have easily been left out. Happily modified the days itinerary to suit our interest.

Great tour - Great day and Avril was a great guide. We visited the cape of good hope, Cape point and boulder beach to see the penguins with many photo stops along the way.

A wonderful day - We enjoyed a full day private tour to the Cape of Good Hope, with the penguins at Boulder Beach and the boat trip to Seals Island. Our guide Danson was extremely competent and always flexibel to our wishes - it was very informative and entertaining - definitely a highlight of our South Africa trip.

Highly Recommend this private tour from Cape Town with Cape Archives Tours! - This private tour was perfect for us at the end of our cruise before our 10 pm flight out. The staff at Cape Archives Tours was responsive and so very kind and considerate. Our guide, Kelvin was so knowledgeable about the history and so very entertaining at the same time. He was very flexible based on our timeline for pick up location, our itinerary during the day to the colorful Bo Kaap, Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Beach Penguin Colony given our time constraints. He was quite the photographer for us as well. The BMW was luxurious, cool A/C, clean and very comfortable for us and my DH is 6'8" or 2 meters 2! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a full day tour of Cape Town and points beyond with Cape Archives Tours!

Awesome day in Cape Town - Awesome day with Candy and Penashe. Saw amazing sites and were able to modify based on what we wanted to do. Our luggage got lost so were able to stop at a mall to get some clothes.

We cannot imagine a more... - We cannot imagine a more beautiful place in the world! Danson was an amazing tour guide - and we learned so much about this amazing country! The views were spectacular and our tour guides attention to our interests was unparalleled!

Fab four on tour - 4 of us had a private tour today with Natasha and she couldn't of been more accommodating. Although the weather wasn't the best and we didn't go up table mounting we were issued with 4 tickets to use in the next 4 days. Very pleased, thankyou

A fantastic route but the tour guide should be more flexible - A fantastic route with great places to see You shouldn't miss a single location on this trip A visit to the island with the seals is a must. Kelvin was a excellent driver and a good tour guide but he did not make the small changes we suggested to the route even though we agreed with the tour operator not to visit Bo Kaap and just walk to two specific beaches on our route instead
