Itinerary
A Stop here at Bo-Kaap of approximately 20 minutes and quick walk with your personal guide driver to discover these beautiful colourful houses and the history behind them and the area.
This is what we call the Kodak moment of the tour, prepare your cameras for the most beautiful photos of your Cape Town memories, with a panoramic view of Lion's head, Table Mountain, Camps Bay Beach, Clifton and the Twelve Apostles Mountains range. Dolphins, Whales and Seals can be spotted here. The stop at this beautiful Cove will leave you breathless.
No Cape of Good Hope or Cape Point also known as Cape Peninsula Private Tour will be considered complete without a Stop at this fishing harbour . The best fish and chips can be purchased here for a sit down or take away. Here you will find one of the biggest souvenir and gift market where you can bargain for the price of any item. But the main attraction is the boat trip to the Seal Island Colony where you will see thousands of Cape Fur Seals. We do not recommend to take the boat trip when the Sea condition is bumpy unless you can handle the sea sickness.
This is one of the most beautiful scenic route in the World. We will stop here for photos opportunity. A quick guided walk will be allowed for approximately 5 minutes. Please stay in the safe walking demarcated areas
A trip to the Cape of Good Hope for Wine Lovers will not be considered complete if you skip a stop at Cape Point Vineyard. Some of the best white cultivars in South Africa such as sauvignon blanc, shardonay and other varieties are crafted right here. The views of the mountains and Ocean are spectacular . We highly recommend a quick stop here for wine tasting. This is an optional Stop and Cost for wine tasting is ZAR 50 per adult and can taste up to 6 different wines.
Our next Stop will be in the Town of Simon's Town, which is the base of South African Navy Forces, and home to a Great Dane, which made history in this beautiful village . Just Nuisance was the only dog ever to be officially enlisted in the Royal Navy. He was a Great Dane who between 1939 and 1944 served at HMS Afrikander, a Royal Navy shore establishment in Simon's Town, South Africa. He died in 1944 at the age of seven years and was buried with full military honours. You could also go for lunch in the area with options ranging from Take Aways and sit down restaurants, alternatively, lunch could be taken either at Boulders Beach, Black Marlin(Sea Food) or at the Cape of Good Hope.
Our Next stop is at the famous Boulders Beach home to some 2500 pairs of endagered African penguins. On this Tour, weather permitting, Guests are allowed to go swim with the penguins at own entrance fees account (ZAR 120 per adult) and we recommend that you bring a swimwear and towels should you wish to stop for a swim. Boulders Beach which is next to Simon’s Town has a lot going for it: the ancient granite boulders protect it from the wind and large waves, unlike any other beach in Cape Town making it an ideal swimming spot for kids, moms and toddlers. The city of Cape Town is always keep the beach very clean and safe, as this along the Cape of Good Hope are part of Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area. The beach itself is not always very busy or over crowded , and children find it easy to swim in the beautiful rockpools. But the soft white sand and warm(ish) waters are not the only reasons why thousands of visitors a year make their way along the coast, past Simon’s Town, to Boulders Beach. The local inhabitants in their beautiful black and white colours, the African penguins bring the masses to visit Boulders Beach one of the biggest Penguin colony in South Africa.
This is the highlight of the tour as we are now entering a national park for some spectacular sightseeing.The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. A common misconception is that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa. This misconception was based on the misbelief that the Cape was the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. This is the meeting place of the two currents , the cold Benguela and the warm Agulhas. Prepare those Cameras for the souvenir photos behind the famous wooden board of Cape of Good Hope. An optional hike of up to 40 minutes from the Cape of Good Hope to the lighthouse will be allowed. Your guide will escort you half way to show you the safest way and he/she will drive around to meet you on the other side.The lighthouse can be accesible by way of using the Dutchman Funicular at own cost of ZAR 80 per adult and ZAR 40 per child for a return trip. Alternatively a hike up from the lower station of the historic lighthouse to the upper station is approximately 20 minutes.

We had the best guide Mireille and the best driver Hisham. A great team with whom we laughed and felt being with family. The team makes the difference. Than you for your great support. Gabrielle & Lotfi
It was a great experience. Our guide Lailah was knowledge and sweet. Despite the weather was gloomy, she had the greatest warm energy. Thank you!
We were the last to be picked up at our hotel so we had to sit in the back of the bus with limited visibility and it was very bumpy. So not a great experience for us overall . I think it should be suggested that seats on the bus are rotated so everyone gets a better experience.
Pick up at the hotel was punctual. Mireille was warm and pleasant. She reached out on the eve of the trip to confirm pick up time and tickets. Kyle was a great driver and both of them made a great team. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit the Table Mountain due to strong winds, but the visit to the Cape of Good Hope and the Penguins more than made up for it. I highly recommend.
Thank you Mena for an amazing day and showing us your country, history and culture
This tour was absolutely worth it, especially with our limited time in Cape Town! We were able to drive around the entire Cape Peninsula and see so much -from the stunning coastal scenery and Chapman’s Peak to Cape Point, the penguins at Boulders Beach, and so many places in between. Mena was an incredible guide and made the day even better. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much history and context along the way that we definitely would have missed exploring on our own. He was also friendly, attentive, and made the entire day feel relaxed and enjoyable. We saw so much of Cape Town in one day and learned a ton. I would highly recommend this tour, and especially Mena, to anyone visiting Cape Town!
We had a great day with Jeff as part of Beyond Africa Safari. Jeff was on time, courteous, extremely knowledgable about South African history and really took pride in telling us about this fantastic country of South Africa. We never felt rush and he obliged us when we needed to stop for coffees with no fuss at all. I would recommend the company and certainly Jeff who was a great guide and host.
Really good experience. Knowledgeable guide
Had a great day with Gift as our tour guide for the day. We were travelling with our young child and Gift was patient and very knowledgeable throughout the day. Took us to a lovely place for lunch and went the extra mile by taking us to our final stop when we were over time. Thoroughly recommend the tour operator and Gift if you want a great day out!
It was a wonderful experience. My special thanks to the guide for making this a great trip.
Fantastic day with Sylvie as our guide! She had a great sense of humor - especially as the weather early on was pretty abysmal! Also shared lots of info throughout the day. This trip was a great value, so much included for a low price. We enjoyed every stop, especially the penguins.
We had an amazing tour going to Cape Peninsula passing through Chapman’s peak drive all the way to Boulder’s beach to see the Penguins. We had Mr Mena as our tour guide and he was brilliant, very informative, great storyteller with a lot of fun and funny stories, extremely kind and hospitable and above all a very good punctual driver with a very neat car. I would recommend this tour and Mena to anyone who wants to know all about the cape peninsula, Penguins, Cape Town and South African history.
Really good experience and very nice atmosphere created by the guide Lina (Debby 😝) and driver Leon. Well done and thank you 🙏🏻
Gift was an exceptional tour guide and driver. He shared the history with great knowledge and enthusiasm, answered every question thoughtfully, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable and memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour.
What a fantastic tour,so enjoyable and comfortable,go to see absolutely everything we wanted to see in and around cape town in the one day,our guide Mr mena was very knowledgeable and friendly In top of that good driver🥰
It was a wonderful day with Gordon our guid and Lion the driver.
Mena was the ultimate guide for our day touring the Cape Peninsula. He knew his way around and was able to get us everywhere even with some unexpected traffic closures. He has so much knowledge about the history and culture of CT and South Africa to share along the ride. This was a spectacular experience I would highly recommend to anyone looking to take in the scenery of Cape Town.
Mr. Mena was an incredible guide who had so much interesting history and information to share with us. The transport was comfortable and he took great care of us and was extremely accommodating. We learned so much and made great memories to last a life time alongside some incredible views. This is one of the best private tours around. Be sure to request Mr. Mena!
Jeff was an amazing guide Very kind and gave us a lot of information. We had lunch down right by the water near boulders. The area is pretty business and Jeff was nice enough to make us a reservation at a delicious spot for lunch!
Silvye was the best guide and made our and our daugther's time unforgettable.
What a wonderful well planned out trip. Saw all well wanted to see and more and at our pace. Big thanks to Jeff for guiding us through our memorable trip
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable tour of the Cape Peninsula with Jeff! Our tour of the Cape Peninsula with Jeff was simply extraordinary and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. From the very first minute, we felt completely at ease. Jeff is not only incredibly friendly and personable, but also extremely competent and passionate about what he does. He introduced us to the breathtaking scenery, the spectacular coastal roads, and the hidden gems of the peninsula with a wealth of background information and fascinating stories. He catered to our individual wishes and took plenty of time to show us special viewpoints and authentic places that we would never have discovered on our own. We were particularly impressed by his extensive knowledge of the region's history, culture, and wildlife. His explanations brought each stop to life. At the same time, the tour was relaxed, well-organized, and perfectly coordinated. Thanks to Jeff, we didn't just see the Cape Peninsula, we truly experienced it. We wholeheartedly recommend him and would book another tour with him anytime! Thank you, Jeff, for this unforgettable day! 🌍✨
Had a lovely day with Mena as our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting.
I had a wonderful experience on the tour. For the time, I met a tour guide, Gordon who had a passion for his job, knew all our names while picking us up in the morning. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
We had a wonderful day with Mena. He was the perfect guide. He took us to all the places we wanted to go. We saw seals and penguins and an ostrich and wonderful scenery. He was knowledgable, friendly, and kind. He kept us on schedule and got us back to the ship at the time we asked, even despite the bad traffic. We had a modern comfortable car and Mena drove very well.
The tour was solid and a great approach if you want someone to drive you around share history of the area and have a tourism experience. What I mean is if you want to see all the things take some photos and check the box do it. If you are more a wanderer and want to take your time and explore a random shop or store hire a private guide. The beach portion was over looking the beach vs. being on the beach. It takes a lot to impress me. It was great for what it was.
Great tour with amazing guide, Sylvie, who walked us through the history of Cape Town. Must do for every tourist to cover key spots.
It was wonderful 💯 Sylvie and Carl, our tour guides and driver, made the trip all more worthwhile. The other guests were just as lovely. Everyone was very warm and caring, assisting my mom. Day well spent, beautiful memories made and awesome group. Stay blessed 🙏 Reshma (05-01-2026)
Edije was a very knowledgeable guide and catered well to our needs. Great day out I would highly recommend this trip - we had a great time at the cape and at boulders bay
We had a beautiful day and learnt a lot about South Africa. Mena you are doing a great job. Thank so much and all the best for you!
Great experience. Driver/guide (Felix) picked us up promptly at hotel and kept us moving along smartly but with plenty of time at each stop. Bo-Kaap, Seal Island (including the boat ride to the Island), Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Beach Penguin viewing. Stops along the way for scenic pictures of the coastline. The finicular was out of operation at Cape Point, so we did the climb up to the lighthouse using the walking path.
Had a fab day with Nathan as our host who was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Tour covered a lot and was kept interesting with plenty of time for lunch. Highly recommend
Very educative trip especially if you are visiting for the first time. Very friendly and well informed tour guide, Silvie. Will recommend anyone to go on this trip.
It was a great expierience. Especially our guide Gordon was really great and gave us a lot of interesting information. Furthermore Rick was a smart and save driver. Thanks!
We had the best time on our Cape Peninsula tour with Ray! He was super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole day so much fun. He shared so many interesting stories and taught us so much more about South Africa than we ever expected — way beyond the usual tourist facts. You can tell he really loves what he does and cares about making the experience special. If you’re booking a Cape Peninsula tour, definitely ask for Ray — he made it one of the highlights of our trip!
We had an amazing day with Jeff. He is extremely knowledgeable and stopped at amazing spots along the way. I cannot recommend this more! Will define you do this again!
Sylvie our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable on history on the tour. The communication of pick up was prompt. Akim the driver made us feel comfortable with his driving. Overall the tour was great despite the windy conditions.
Jeff was absolutely incredible! He was meticulous with his timings and gave us so many interesting facts about Cape Town that we didn’t know before.
Great day tour with Beyond Africa. They were prompt in picking us up from our hotel and tailored the day to what our interests were. Your guide was extremely knowledgeable. Don't hesitate to book!
Gift was an amazing guide. The information he gave us was fascinating and delivered in a very engaging way. Also his smile is infectious - he was alawaus in good spirits and very open to accommodate all our adjustments
The views were amazing and we took many photos Special thanks to Mr. Jeff, our tour guide who made our experience even more memorable ✨️ We highly recommend him for your tour..
We had a wonderful trip around Cape Peninsula with our lovely guide Gift. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of facts that you would miss out on if you were to drive yourself. He also adapted the tour to some bad weather conditions which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend.
Gordon was prompt with times and pickups from start to finish, very friendly, and made us all feel comfortable. Very good sense of humour. Gordon had a lot of knowledge of local history and historical history too, Plenty of stop of points to take pictures and never felt rushed and was wiling to take pictures of us as a couple too, had lunch with us which made it feel even more of a friendly service, would highly recommend Gordon and when we visit Cape town again we will be in contact for more adventures in and around Cape Town. Massive thank Gordon, The Newly Weds.......
We had a wonderful time. The private full day tour was well planned, well timed, and we saw all the highlights we expected-and more. Our guide Jeff was knowledgeable, attentive to our interests, and courteous; as well as a safe driver. The vehicle was impeccable, and comfortable. Would highly recommend.
Great guidance and driving by Sylvie and Gakeem. We had ample time to visit the landmarks and experience the great city of Cape Town.
On 03 May 2025, we took a tour with Mr Wilson from Ingwe Safaris Tours. Mr Wilson was very understanding, accommodative, professional and passionate about his work.
our Driver Tommy was amazing he had so much passion and knowledge he wanted to share and made sure everyone had an amazing day. from pick up to drop off this whole trip was amazing. thanks Tommy
We had the most amazing day trip to the Cape of Good Hope with Gordon! Super friendly, funny, and seriously knows his stuff. The views were stunning, but what really made it special was how Gordon went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. He had everything covered — great stories, perfect photo spots! Easily one of the best tour experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend!
Jeff was so kind, friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, accommodating, and funny. My husband and I instantly felt like we had known him for months. We truly enjoyed spending the day with him and hearing about the country’s complicated history, the natural wonders, and his highly entertaining anecdotes. He picked a convenient and delicious restaurant for lunch and took us to so many great lookout points. We’re thankful he captured many photos to help us commemorate a wonderful trip. Would highly recommend booking this tour!
