Step into the soul of Cape Town on this guided half-day city tour.
Cape Town is more than just stunning mountains and oceans. It's a city woven with stories of resilience, culture, and beauty.
On this adventure, you will explore the landmarks that shaped South Africa's history.
Your journey begins with a visit to the Castle of Good Hope, the oldest surviving building in South Africa.
Next, stand before City Hall, where Nelson Mandela addressed the nation after his release—a moment that changed history forever.
Stroll through the leafy Company’s Garden, surrounded by Parliament, museums, and heritage sites.
In Bo-Kaap, admire the brightly painted houses and hear stories of the Cape Malay community’s traditions. At Greenmarket Square, you’ll find colorful stalls filled with African crafts and souvenirs.
Finally, the tour ends at the world-famous V&A Waterfront. Here, you’ll have time to wander, shop, or simply soak in the mountain-and-sea views before returning to your hotel.
