Itinerary

Table Mountain

2 hours Admission not included

Start your tour with a pickup from your Cape Town hotel, and then travel into heart of the Mother City by air-conditioned minivan. As you travel, chat with your guide about the city and the attractions that you want to see; the itinerary is flexible and can be tailored to the sights you want to see.

Perhaps start with a cable car ride up Table Mountain, the city’s famous UNESCO World Heritage site. The ride is at your own expense and subject to good weather conditions, but once at the top, the views are magnificent. During July/August the cable car is closed for about two weeks for annual maintenance, but the hiking trails remain open.
Signal Hill

one hour

Alternatively, skip the ride and travel up Signal Hill by minivan. The hill is a classic Cape Town vantage point and a picturesque spot for ogling the city and beach vistas.

Return to town for a walking tour around Cape Town itself.
Company's Gardens

45 min

Wander past Company’s Gardens, a colonial-era park boasting a pretty Rose Garden and large fish pond. Walk past several sites linked to the city’s tenuous history with slavery such as Slave Lodge and the Old Slave Tree, and gaze at top Cape Town attractions including the Houses of Parliament.
Greenmarket Square

30 min

Greenmarket Square and St George’s Mall are also worked in to your route.
Noon Day Gun

30 min

Return to your minivan for a visit to Noon Gun — Cape Town’s historical time signal — plus the colorful neighborhood of Bo-Kaap.
Bo-kaap

30 min

Stop for photos by the candy-coloured houses, and hear how the district has changed from a shanty town to a vibrant city neighbourhood with a melting pot of cultures.
V&A Waterfront

2 hours Admission not included

Enjoy a break at the V&A Waterfront for lunch and perhaps a boat ride around the harbour (both at your own expense). After enjoying some free time, meet back up with your guide, and then relax on a scenic drive alongside the Atlantic coastline.

Watch the waves crashing against the jagged shores, and pass through swanky neighbourhoods such as Clifton or Camps Bay. Your tour then finishes with a drop-off at your Cape Town hotel.
