Table Mountain And Robben Island Tour, Hotel Pickup Included

A brilliant experience from start to finish. Our guide was exceptional, wanting the best experience for all customers on the trip. This included being incredibly helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the activities and beyond. Everything was well organised throughout the day making it worthwhile day out. The visit to the Mountain and Island was everything we wanted to experience and more. I would highly recommend doing this activity. Thanks again!

Great experience! Very well organised, definitely worth it waking up early as we were sure to be one of the firsts to take the cable cars! Samora has been an excellent guide ! Thanks

Great day with easy and person who knows what he is doing and on time, communication flows and never left us stranded or lost. Good and caring we'll spoken.

Our guide was punctual and pointed out a bus was coming in so we could get to the line before the bus. Good source of information

There is no tour here, you are just paying for the driver to drop you off at the Ferry, which you can take an uber for. Also, I found my driver cold and distant, he just focused on talking to the other passengers who were South African, and ignored me.

This was a great experience but make sure you buy fast track tickets for Table Mountain. Getting the aerial car is challenging but once you are past that it is wonderful. The car has a 360 degree rotating floor so you have a chance to see everything going up. The views from mountain should not be missed! Robben Island was moving and the stores should not be forgotten. So much history in Cape Town. Yamelka was, open and took such good care of us. He put in a very long day to make sure we saw everything. He made the day for us. I highly recommend this tour and Yamelka as your guide

Semora is such a gentleman and brilliant guide. And he is a great photographer too 😀. Thanks so much for a superb day Semora 🤗

It was a great experience. Our tour guide Samora was the best. He was very friendly and helpful. He picked us up at our hotel on time to our boat to the Island. It was wonderful. The boat was well organised .

On October 4, 2025, our guide, Yemkela, picked us up in a car. Our fellow tourist was from Florida. We headed to the Cape Town Waterfront to board the boat for the 30-minute ride to get to Robben Island. Robben is derived from Dutch in which Rob means “seal.” Contrary to the history we have learned, Cape of Good Hope and Robben Island were the home of the Khoisan peoples for at least a couple of millennia. In addition to convicts being sent to Robben, a leper colony was established in the 1800s, many died and were buried here. We arrived on the island and boarded buses for the tour. Our guide, Yasin Mohammed, a man of Indian and Malaysian descent, was outstanding. We toured the max security prison that held Nelson Mandela. Mandela was in prison for 27 years — 18 in Robben and also Pollsmoor and Victor Verster. The other prisoners were Blacks, Coloreds, and Indians, because of various infractions, including protests and failure to carry their pass that allowed them access to only places that were listed. After our tour of Robben Island, we headed back to the Cape Town Waterfront, caught up with Yemkela for our half-hour drive to Table Mountain. On a clear day, it offers phenomenal views of Cape Town and the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Unfortunately, we had low clouds and so although we took the Cable Car (Funicula) to the top, ate lunch and headed back down.

Turns out that Robben Island was closed and they never told us. They did, however, offer us a substitute destination

Very informative friendly & guide, great experience learning about Robben Island from a former prisoner & the views from Table Mountain just spectacular

Very insightful. It was one life learning experience. The history of the country and the its landscape, people and the tourist guide was fenomenal.

The travel agent who picked us up from our hotel, parked a block away and told us he was there. After looking for him for sometime, he pulled up in front of our hotel. He did not get out and greet us; we were expected to open the door and climb into the Van And did not introduce himself before pulling away. Samora, Our guide was rude and obnoxious, and after driving halfway to table mountain indicated that the fog was so bad. We would have zero visibility and Suggested we do not visit table Mountain this morning Because of the poor visibility. We had three hours before the boat left for Robbin Island and I asked what was His recommendation that we could do while we waited for the Robbin Island tour to begin; He immediately suggested that we cancel Our tour for the day and he refund our money. This was the most unprofessional, disagreeable, and obnoxious tour guide I have ever encountered. He was incompetent and it appeared that he did not want to take us on this tour and look for any excuse to cancel.

Very informative and interesting. It was educational especially for my kids to understand where come from as a nation.

The local guide was incredible. Didn’t just look after us but found some magic to get us on the boat for Robben Island when nobody else could get one after four days of cancellations due to high seas

I didn’t go your bus was broken or something I m waiting for my refund the driver phone me to apologise

Sharing the day with the other guests. Seeing the up close reality of Apartheid. Haviing the clouds part while we were up on Table Mountain.

Our tour guide was Samora. It was an amazing experience. Samora educated us on Cape Town during the ride. He recommended that we start at Sea Island before Table Mountain because the weather wasn’t great. This made the tour even better. It was worth every cent

The tour guide was always in hurry.we didn’t enjoy.we didn’t have time for anything,even to sit down and have lunch.

Thamks so much to viator we had an amazing time is Cape Town is recommend it to my friend family and colleagues. I had a great experience of Cape Town through them.

How the prisoners were treated and how sobukwe was isolated and not allowed visitors ,how Mandela fought tor the other black prisoners ,The menu for black people really shows how they hated them

Weather didn't cooperate so er couldn't do Robbin Island and did the Cape of Good Hope instead. It was great. Guide was amazing and flexible.

The driver was approachable and frendly. Robben Island tour and Table mountain will always be memorable

The tour was good but could it be better because I didn't get ticket to the Robben Island and you guys did not advise me eralier about that. But at the end I got ticket for the first boat.

It is so funny that this is being asked of me because the trip has been cancelled twice for Robben Island. Moreover, I'm waiting and expecting to receive the full refund of Robben Island ticket and the payment made to Viator soon. You know what I'm talking about... Best regards, Abraham Park

Bad weather led to a rescheduling of my tour from the day originally planned then my Tour Guide had other plans for the new date he proposed. I ended up doing the activities on my own but was not able to get to Tabletop mountain. The guide did say he will refund in full but I’m in Cape Town for experience and I missed that. The idea of packaging the three activities was a great one since it gave me a sense of direction.

Punctual hotel pickup, attentive and prepared driver, by going to Table Mountain early in the morning we avoided long lines. For Robben Island I had higher expectations so I was a bit disappointed but it is certainly no one's fault. Organized tour and booked through GYG recommended
