A good experience exploring Cape Town - Our wonderful guide Nene kept our spirits high despite a very rainy start to the day, she took us to all the local attractions of Cape Town including the cape of good hope castle and the Afrogems museum. The table mountain cable car ride was a fun experience but the cloud cover made it impossible to see the city view from up top, other than that the entire trip was excellent and well organized.

half day city tour - the tour was good. we deove around the city to see local areas including castle of cape, bo kap, afrogem and local cafe. the tour guide neyney is local and very amazing. she introduced us to a lot of interesting places. we also took the cable car to the table mountain. unfortunately it was very foggy up but it is still a place worth visiting and we can see an overview of the city between clouds.

Iconic Cape Town Attractions - Table mountain undoubtedly offers the most beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding areas. It's magical. Bo-kaap has coloured houses and culturally very rich. On the walls, get to see slogans in solidarity with Palestinians.
But the trip became an enriching one because of the expertise of the guide It all made a difference because of her.

Great intro to the city! - I had originally booked my tour for a Saturday but Leticia was fantastic to reach out beforehand and suggest rescheduling the tour due to the impact the marathon and road closures would have on the tour. I really appreciate that she worked with me to reschedule it around my other tours and hikes in the city. Doney was our guide and honestly made the tour that day! Despite our schedule going a little sideways due to the weather and wait times at Table Mountain, her bubbly personality and knowledge of the city made the experience so enjoyable! Her humorous and helpful insight as a local guide was really appreciated and set me up for success during the remainder of my time in Cape Town!

Tour was worth it, even though Table Mountain weather didn't give much We got more for the buck elsewhere! - Loved our tour guide Doney 's knowledge of the City, got a local treat able to taste some dessert, she gave us a chance to get our breakfast too. Loved the African market, but we would have liked more time there! Unfortunately the weather was a bust and TM was covered in fog, but she made the best of the day! Also love the door-to-door pick up and drop off. Doney (NeyNey) was a real sweet heart and fun to spend the day with!

Good guide - Not because of the guide she was very good with her passion about Cape Town. Only problem was the weather at Cable Mountain it was covered in clouds.
