Excellent trip to Robin island - From our booking agent to the cruise team, to our amazing guide, everything was taken care of. The information shared with us was really educational. Thank you for a great day. I could have definitely sent more time on the island.

Informative and Sobering - The history came alive with a guide who had been a political prisoner on the island. The process of boarding the ferry was well-organized.

We have to honour our heroes - I will recommend everyone to do this tour. Well knowledgeable tour guides, Saidi our driver picked us on time, we were on 30 minutes ferry ride, we were honoured to see where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of his life.

Everything went perfectly - Great experience. We were looking for a last minute ticket and Said (the tour guy) came through. He met us at the Nelson Mandel gateway to make sure we were set with tour. He does not go on tour with you which is fine. We loved it. When we returned to the mainland he greeted us and made sure we had a nice time.

too emotional - This tour is one of the best tour. Very emotional to hear from a formal prisoner guiding us telling the story he lived with.

We booked day itself and... - We booked day itself and luckily it was available. Driver picked us up a bit late but had correspondence with us at least. Tour itself was very educational and a bit sad bec of history of island esp when told by former prisoners who were actual guides in the prison.

Robben Isalnd , only buy direct. - In essence we paid a premium price to go to the front of a queue. A complete rip off. Buy direct, save money and don't worry about a 5 minute queue. The boat won't leave without you.
