We spent 6 days in Capetown and did 4 tours. This one was lots of driving. That is not bad but good because we saw a lot. Just going to the Cape Point which is the most southern tip of Africa was a must for us. We visited the penguins, saw lots of villages, learned a lot about the history of South Africa as we drove through. We saw gorgeous coast lines, mountains, and animals including ostriches. Would not miss this trip.The day trip to Cape Point was a perfect way to see the best places around the peninsula. The guide (Bryan) was amazing and provided a lot of useful and interesting information about Cape Town and South Africa in general.

The guide was very informative and clear. The van was just fine. We felt a bit like there was a checkpoint of things to do and sometimes would have liked more time at each stop. Guide Michael Manzoni was excellent.

That, her connections with people along the way, and her excellent driving skill, made the trip go seamlessly and smoothly. Her caring and concern for us and our well being, made it feel like we had a surrogate mother for the day all the while being a top rated teacher.What a wonderful time we had around the beautiful Cape Town.
