Fun experience - Good tour with lots of scenic points. Would recommend bringing snacks and water as it can be a long tour. Lots of bumpy and windy roads to get to the points - so be sure to being medicine if you get nauseous.

Excellent half day tour hitting 2 must see destinations. - We had a wonderful day from start to finish. Our guide Shafiek was exceptional throughout. He gave loads of information as we left capetown towards boulder beach and cape of good hope. He was very patient and stopped whenever a sight of interest was to be observed. Great way to see 2 key destinations in half the time.

Professional even when encountering adversity - Mr Djiby was a very professional driver. He dealt with issues with dignity and grace including an incident where the ticket agent at the entry to Cape Point refused to allow him to use her lane for payment. Mr. Djiby, who is black, was treated very rudely by the ticket agent who was, according to South African lingo “colored”. Her actions were disgraceful. He was, however, a gentleman throughout.

A great half day trip out! - We had a great half day our visiting Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point and the penguins at Boulders Beach. We had good communication with Gordon who answered all my questions prior to the trip and he was prompt at collecting us from our hotel. He was very warm and instantly made us all feel relaxed and had lots of great information about the different areas we passed during our ride to The Cape of Good Hope. He made sure we got there in enough time as the crowds and ques soon started to build when we were on our way back. When we got to Boulders Beach to see the penguins, the que was very long. However, Gordon went to the front and must know somebody because the next thing we know we were moving past everybody to the front and got through straight away which was great. We just paid him afterwards at a different stop with a cash point. He stopped at various view points to get us some great pictures and even took some for us which was lovely. The group were small and friendly and we were lucky that the weather was beautiful. We arrived back around 2:30 but we asked Gordon to drop us off at Camps Bay instead as it was so lovely and we hadn’t visited it yet which he gladly did. All in all, a great trip out!
