Review of Cape Town’s Cape Point and penguin day tour, with Chapman’s Peak, seals, hotel pickup, costs, stops, and practical advice.

“I had a great experience. Sylvie and Bennie were the guides and did a phenomenal job. They arrived on time, provided ample opportunities for photos, and were very personable. I especially appreciate Sylvie offering to take photos without being asked. I only wish I had cash to provide a tip for the stellar service! Definitely recommend!!”

“Great trip! The guide, Colombe (Coco) (Chanel 😉), was so knowledgeable; she gave us a bit of history and told great stories. She was patient and flexible. The driver, Yves (Saint Laurent 😉), drove very safely and had a great sense of humour! Some stops could have done with a little more time, especially Boulders Beach. All in all, I enjoyed it very much and recommend it!”

See Bo-Kaap, Chapman’s Peak, Cape Point, Simon’s Town, and Boulders penguins on a small-group day tour from Cape Town.

“We only really had one full day in Cape Town and this turned out to be a great choice. Candice & our driver Madee were very knowledgeable on all areas we visited. The boat trip to see the seal we enjoyed, even with the rough seas. The penguins, well worth seeing. We had plenty of time at the Cape. Some chose to hike up and some on the Funicular and all worked in together very well. I would happily recommend this tour.”

We had a lovey stop for lunch at Seaforth in Simons Town after we had visited the penguins at Boulders Beach. I loved our first stop which was Table Mountain.”
