Who is this tour for?

It is a practical choice for travellers with a full day who want to connect the Cape Peninsula’s main sights without designing the route or arranging transport separately.

It may suit you less if you prefer slow visits, plenty of independent time or completely defined costs before selecting a date. The activity involves walking, and some stops are brief.
