Highlights
- Robben Island Museum - Robben Island is located in Table Bay and is renowned for its maximum-security prison where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were held during apartheid. Mandela spent 18 of his 27-year sentence on the island, which has become a symbol of the struggle. Now a World Heritage site and museum, it offers daily tours. Visitors disembark at Murray’s Bay Harbour on the island’s east coast and take a short walk to buses that tour the historical sites. Please NOTE this tour is EXCLUSIVE, and an entry fee of R 550 per person applies.
- Company’s Gardens - The Company’s Garden is the oldest garden in South Africa. Situated in central Cape Town, it is a park and heritage site. Established in 1650 by the region’s first European settlers, it provided fresh produce to replenish ships rounding the Cape.
- Victoria & Alfred Waterfront - Located in Cape Town, the V&A Waterfront is where our tour begins. It is one of the most popular areas in the city, offering stunning ocean views and easy access to some of the best beaches. This is also where you will take the ferry to Robben Island, which is 11 km from the mainland and a 40-45 minute ferry ride. Here, you will pay for your ferry and Robben Island tickets.
- Table Mountain Aerial Cableway - Table Mountain, with an altitude of 1067 meters above sea level, is a unique symbol of the peninsula. The cable car ride, which completes a 360-degree rotation, offers a spectacular way to ascend Cape Town’s famous flat-topped peak. At the top, you’ll find the Table Mountain Café, a self-service restaurant offering a range of food, drinks, snacks, desserts, and wines. It’s a great spot to soak up the commanding 360-degree views of Cape Town, Table Bay, the surrounding peaks, and the rest of Table Mountain National Park. Please NOTE this tour is EXCLUSIVE, and an entry fee of R 400 per person applies.
- Iziko South African Museum and Planetarium - Founded in 1825, the South African Museum moved to its current location in the historic Company’s Garden in 1897. Since then, millions of visitors have explored its halls and exhibitions.
- Castle of Good Hope - Built by the DEIC between 1666 and 1679, the Castle of Good Hope is the oldest existing colonial building in South Africa. During the Second Boer War (1899–1902), part of the castle was used as a prison, and the former cells remain to this day. The Castle served as the local headquarters for the South African Army in the Western Cape and now houses the Castle Military Museum and ceremonial facilities for the traditional Cape Regiments.
- Bo-Kaap - Bo-Kaap is a neighborhood in Cape Town known for its narrow, cobbled streets lined with colorful houses. It became a daytime destination after the end of slavery in the Cape Colony in 1834.
- Lion’s Head - Lion’s Head is the most famous hiking mountain in the country, standing 669 meters above sea level.
- The Diamond Works - Visit a diamond factory to learn about South Africa’s diamond history and other precious stones like Tanzanite, Sapphire, Gold, and Platinum. A taste of South African sparkling wine will be served at the entrance. Shop prices are negotiable, and our guide will assist with purchases. You can claim your VAT at the airport before returning home.
- Iziko Slave Lodge - The tour ends at the Iziko Slave Lodge, which marks the end of slavery in the Cape Colony in 1834. From slavery to citizenship, this is where we conclude our tour and return to the hotel or accommodation.
