The tour is very good organised and leaving at 7am in the morning helps a lot to avoid too many people at the Cape of Good Hope. Our guide and driver Gift gave a lot of information and was very professional. Very good value for the money!
Had a wonderful solo trip with Lailah to Cape of Good Hope and the lighthouse! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone exploring Cape Town! 🌟
It was a very interesting and informative day a combination of wildlife beautiful landscapes and interesting history and local culture. Lina and the driver Ishmael were both friendly and professional and helpful to make a great !
I had a wonderfull day. I was able to have fun, learn a bit of South Africa's history and explore places I've never seen before. The guide Heber was really professional and at service, always in touch with us via the phone before the tour started and during the tour itself, anwered our questions kindly and showed us around other places we wanted to have a look at.
Just had a wonderful experience with Lina and Ishmael on this tour! They made sure every detail was perfect, sharing valuable information about each spot's history. Her energy and sense of humour made the day even better - like her great photographer skills. I would definitely recommend - I couldn't think of a better way to explore some of the most iconic Cape Town landmarks!
eff was an excellent guide, very friendly and attentive to everyone. The landscapes are beautiful!.
We had a wonderful experience! The tour was very complete and took us to incredible places that we would never have been able to discover on our own. Jeff was an amazing guide: kind, friendly and attentive to everyone throughout the day. He made sure we felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment of the experience. We learned so much and got to see a different side of the area thanks to his knowledge and care. Everything was well organised, and the whole experience was truly worth it. Thank you, Jeff, for such a fantastic day! We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town. 😊
Jeff the driver was excellent. Informative and accommodating. Recommended.
My wife and I had an amazing experience! Heber is a wonderful guide. He provided meaningful explanations for all the places we went and even during the travel. The van was very comfortable and our driver Ismail was also very nice! Overall we had a wonderful knowledgable day! Thank you!
The trip was amazing and our group had the best guide. She made sure to pick everyone up. I myself was running 20 minutes late to my pick up point and she was kind to guide me to the first stop of the tour so I would join the group and not miss it. The tour was so worth it and showed so many of the gems in cape town and around. I highly recommend booking it!!!
Our guide Lailah was excellent: proactive, efficient and fun to be around. Some complications came up during the day, but she handled them quickly and made sure everything stayed on track. The tour itself was well organized. The only downside was the van's microphone, which kept cutting out and made it hard to follow her explanations at times. That's not her fault at all, but worth fixing for future tours. Overall, a great experience!
Sylvie was a wonderful guide, kept the medium sized group organized and provided various interesting information along the way.
We absolutely loved our day trip with our amazing guide Jeff. The whole day was really well organised, from pick-up all the way through to drop-off. Jeff put so much much thought into the whole day and shared his local knowlesge with us, as well as answering any questions we had. During the day Jeff stuck to efficient timings to ensure that we saw a lot of different things and enjoyed our experience. From Sea Point, to Camps Bay, via Chapman's Peak to Seals Island, to the Cape of Good Hope, to Cape Point, to Simonstown and Boulders Beach, to St James and back via Constantia and Bo-Kaap - we saw a lot in one day! We highly recommend this tour to everyone, and make sure you follow Jeff's advice - he is your expert guide!
A great full day with our amazing host Lina. Leon the driver made it a comfortable journey, I would highly recommend.
Our guide and driver, Lina and Tash Tash, are the best. They were always friendly, energetic, and tried to make the tour fit all the guests need. The tour itself is also fantastic. The views in Cape peninsula are stunning. The only thing I think could be improved is to increase the time in Cape Point. The landscapes there are astonishing but we didn’t have time to walk to both of the light towers. Of course, considering the plenty places we were going to visit, it was also reasonable.
We had a wonderful experience! Mireille was a lovely, knowledgeable guide, and Ismail was a safe and friendly driver. Both were incredibly kind and welcoming, making our trip extra special. Highly recommend it! 🌟
The guide Milae and the driver Ismail (excuse me for the wrong spellings) were so kind and nice! I totally enjoyed the tour throughout the day. Thank you all again and I recommend this tour.
I had a fantastic trip. I booked last second and it was a seamless experience for me. Lailah was a fantastic tour guide with so much local knowledge. She kept the day on track with plenty of updates about the schedule, what would come next, and highlights along the way. She did a great job providing information while also giving us time to ourselves. The logistics were well managed and all of the stops were fantastic. Thank you for such a great time. I hope to be back for another tour with Lailah soon. Cheers
Absolutely incredible experience - our guide was very very experienced - Sylvie and Benni took really good care of us. They made sure we saw all the major sites! Didn't leave any one behind! And over a wonderful day out!
Amazing day out, everything was fantastic from the itinerary to the places themselves. Our tour guide Heber took good care of us all day. The driver Ghakeem was also great and helpful. Everything was beautiful and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
We had an amazing day today with our guide Jeff. He is an amazing guide, not only because of his kindness but also because of the tour's structure. It was organized perfectly, we felt really save and welcome with him. He did give us many nice information about the different spots but it was never too much or overloaded, he could also respond perfectly to spontaneous questions or show us nice, secret spots! Overall, it was an amazing eperience and we would really recommend the tour but also our wonderful guide Jeff!
Had an amazing day throughout the tour. Shout out to Gift for being a great driver cum guide. Clear explanation, attentive and overall a great guy!

Absolutely great guide. H kept us updated before the trip giving us relevant information. On the day of the trip he updated us when collection time of collection was due. Welcoming and informative during our trip. I needed assistance getting into one of the attractions and H stepped in and help resolve the situation. Overall he really catered for our needs and really went beyond what we expected. An excellent guide making the day a great experience which could without his assistance could have been disappointing. Thanks Bob Ayerst
Really good tour guide and driver were excellent- very helpful and informative. Made me feel safe at all times.
It was a very rich experience. We have seen many unique places with a very comprehensive explanation from our guide Jeff. He took good care of us and managed to combine all different styles of each one of us. The pensguins were the best moment! I wish I could stay there for a little longer! 🙂
it was a wonderful day and tour. the tour guide (Gift) was very knowledgable, friendly and nice person. It was nice to see all these different things within one day without feeling rushed.
We had a wonderful day. Our guide, Gift, gave us a lesson in history and friendliness. The pickup was right on time, and we did everything that was proposed. The agency and the guide himself contacted us 24 hours in advance, reminding us to buy the tickets online to make entering the park easier. He was truly very attentive, and the restaurant recommended for lunch was very pleasant, with an excellent view and fair prices.
Good day out - saw lots. Loved the views from table Mountain and the penguins
Our tour guide Lina and driver Kyle were both fantastic. Really enjoyable day, we crammed a lot in, saw a lot of fantastic sights, and Lina taught us some interesting facts and shared some local music with us on the coach. Thanks Lina and Kyle!
Fantastic day tour. Nathan was excellent. He gave us just the right amount of time at each stop and brought some brilliant comedic value to our day. Thank you!
A wonderful day tour visiting many interesting sights along the coast to Cape Point, a viewpoint overlooking Camps Bay, a boat trip to Seal Island and stops to view the spectacularly rugged coastline before reaching the Cape of Good Hope. Our guide Jeff Mathenga was informative, very helpful and friendly. His commentary was spot on. His choice for lunch was excellent. A very memorable day.
It was an amazing day! Sylvie did her best, and she was one of the kindest. Her spirit made the group as a family at the end of the day. There was so much experience in a single day. Thank you for all of this
Sylvie our guide, and Ishmeil our driver were fantastic. Very knowledgeable, good fun and showed us all the things we needed to see
It would help to know that you have to book tickets for Cape and Penguins on your own. The guide Mireille and driver Benny were very informative and totally nice! The personnel of Beyond Africa Tours are very sweet and friendly!
It was a great experience with carefull coordenation from our guide, Jeff, that was very nice and helpfull!
Excellent tour made even better thanks to our guide Jeff. His knowledge and willingness to help in anyway he could was fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town and hopefully your tour guide will be Jeff!
Definitely recommend this tour, it's a long day but don't be put off by that. So much packed into one day, lots of information provided by your guide . Fantastic locations, plenty of stops . We had Sylvie as our guide and she was brilliant, funny, friendly and great knowledge. Fantastic day.
My Cape Town adventure began with an exciting town ride through the heart of the city. From the bustling CBD, we made our way towards the University of Cape Town, taking in the character and beauty of the city as we travelled. The journey soon brought us to the vibrant and colourful beach huts of Muizenberg, a striking coastal scene that provided our first taste of Cape Town’s unique charm. From Muizenberg, we continued to Simon’s Town and then to Boulders Beach, where one of the most delightful moments of the trip awaited us—the opportunity to see the adorable African penguins in their natural coastal environment. Their playful presence, set against the beautiful backdrop of the ocean, made this a particularly memorable stop. Our journey then took us through the spectacular Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve towards Cape Point. The adventure became even more exhilarating as we embarked on a hike to the old lighthouse. Reaching the elevated viewpoint was well worth the effort. From there, we were rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the rugged coastline and the vast Atlantic Ocean. It was one of those moments when the sheer beauty of nature made us pause and simply take it all in. After the hike, we continued to the Cape Point Ostrich Farm before stopping for lunch at the Cape Point Vineyard Restaurant. The combination of sightseeing, outdoor adventure and the relaxed atmosphere of the Vineyard provided a welcome opportunity to unwind and reflect on the experiences of the day. The return journey was just as captivating. We stopped at the Simon’s Town Harbour viewing area before embarking on the scenic drive along Chapman’s Peak. The drive offered spectacular views of the coastline, particularly the magnificent expanse of Noordhoek Beach. At every turn, the landscape seemed to present another postcard-worthy view. We made a brief stop at Hout Bay Beach before continuing towards Camps Bay and Maiden’s Cove. Here, the scenery became even more dramatic, with magnificent views of Lion’s Head, the imposing Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles mountain range. The combination of mountains, ocean and city created an unforgettable panorama. Unfortunately, strong winds prevented us from climbing Table Mountain itself. Nevertheless, our guide, Mr. Gift Mulanda, ensured that we got as close as possible to this iconic landmark. From the elevated viewpoint, we were able to appreciate the grandeur of Table Mountain while also enjoying an impressive view of the Cape Town CBD below. Although we could not make the climb, the experience still gave us a wonderful sense of the scale and majesty of this extraordinary natural landmark. We concluded our Cape Town experience with a visit to the colourful and culturally significant Bo-Kaap community. The vibrant architecture and distinctive character of the neighbourhood provided a fitting finale to a journey that had taken us through Cape Town’s natural landscapes, coastal attractions, wildlife, mountains and cultural heritage.
Had among the best tour experience I ever had. We travelled as couple and the experience was wow!. We were in a group of 8pp and I could sense the satisfaction to everyone. We started as individuals but by end of trip we were family, united by our driver and guide Mr. Gordon🙌🙌🙌🫡🫡. I would recommend for Beyond Africa Safaris and Mr. Gordon for best and memorable experience in Cape town.
Jeff is a wonderful guide! All the tour is fantastic!
Best way to experience the top must-see places in Cape Town in one day.
The tour was a great way to see the best of Cape Town in a short period of time. Our guide and driver (Lina and Captain) were amazing! Would definitely recommend!
The tour is performed with a mini-bus. Our tour guide Sylvie picked us up punctually at the time stipulated and entertained us with a lot of informative and interesting details of all the sights we passed or visited. Every stop provides enough time to look around and to take pictures. In the early afternoon, we had lunch in Simon's Town (not included in the price) which was delicious. Our tour took 10 hours, but time flew by due to the perfectly planned tour and quantity of information.
We truly enjoyed the tour. Nathan, our guide and Benny, our driver helped us feel secure and managed our time so we could enjoy the different stops. Nathan was an excellent guide providing historical information and context for what we were experiencing. The dialogue was humorous, informative and fun. This tour was an unforgettable experience that I would invite others to share.
I’m not an easily pleased person my own standards are high. This tour as well as tour guide were both exceptional. I would thoroughly recommend a tour such as this to fully acquaint yourself with beautiful Cape Town and the surrounding areas, epic!.
