I was able to see the sights without any problems. - If you book, your guide will buy you a ticket to Robben Island and give it to you on the day. They will pick you up from your hotel on that day and take you to Robben Island on the waterfront (your guide will not follow you). When you come back to the waterfront again, they will wait there and drop you off at your hotel. It takes about five hours in total. The guides were very kind and I recommend them because they enjoyed it without any problems.

Delivered - Great. Delivered when the previous tour operator took our money and then cancelled at the last minute. They were the replacement company who filled in at short notice

Good Tour - Beware of Rough Weathet - Very interesting tour, but it was cut short due to windy weather, which resulted in a very rough boat ride back to Cape Town. Caesar was great! He picked us up and took us back to our hotel and walked around with us at the Cape Town Waterfront.
