I was the only one who booked this tour, so I was able to change things around based on what I wanted to do. I went to Robben Island (highly recommend this tour) and then went to see the Penguins and learned more about the culture diversity in Cape Town, which is something I was interested in. I had already been on several wine tours, so I thought it would be good to experience a different side of Cape Town. It was an EXCEPTIONAL and very informative day. I feel confident that if others had signed up and we went to the wineries, we would have had a blast.Thanks to our tour guide we had a wonderful ride. He showed us many wineries and different places. It was an eye-opening tour.
