What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Upon debarkation, walk through the customs hall and proceed to the terminal information area/terminal reception located a few steps from the exit of the Cape Town Cruise Terminal. The local representatives, Richard and Gillian, will be holding a sign with the lead guest's last name. You will then be escorted to a vehicle for an approximate 30 to 60-minute drive to their home in Wynberg for the cooking experience. All guests will be dropped off at the port at the conclusion of the tour. If our local representatives, Richard and Gillian, are not allowed inside the terminal, they will be right outside the entrance when you exit the terminal reception. All operators usually wait in the same spot for their guests, just in front of the terminal, outside the building. We kindly request that you plan to be at the meeting point at least 5 to 10 minutes prior to your scheduled tour time.
