Itinerary

  • Cape Town Central (Pass By)

    We will pick you up at your accommodation in Cape Town at 8:00 am by a qualified tour guide/driver and transfer you to the Nelson Mandela Gateway – at the Clocktower Precinct in the V & A Waterfront for your boat departure.

  • Robben Island Museum

    Please note that your tour guide/driver will not be joining you on the boat or at the island as there will be a resident sight guide on the island who will give you a guided tour. The ferry boat will set sail to Robben Island. The entire tour duration will be up to 3.5 hours including ferry journey times. When you reach the island, you will disembark at Murray’s Bay Harbour and take a brief walk to the bus that will transport you around the island. A former political prisoner will give you a guided tour. This includes a viewing of Nelson Mandela’s cell. After the tour, you will return to the Clocktower Precinct at the V&A Waterfront at approximately 12:30. Your tour guide/driver will be waiting to welcome you back at the port and offer you an option to enjoy lunch at the many eateries/restaurants in the V&A Waterfront.

Great experience in South Africa

Published on Feb, 2025

Many many thanks to Nathan, our tour guide, a very professional and kind person. He was always attentive to our preferences

Inspirational and Beautiful

Published on Oct, 2024

We’re traveling with our adult children (24 & 27) and wanted to see two of the most important sites in Cape Town (obviously very different experiences). Our schedule meant we needed to do both in one day and this tour perfectly fit the bill. Djiby, our driver, was outstanding. He drove us to both sites, provided informative background and was flexible in regard to our needs as our Robben Island return trip was delayed causing a change in our lunch plans and Table Mountain timing. Djiby is friendly, personable and an excellent driver. Robben Island was a heavy visit and the former prisoner tour guide was informative and inspiring. Table Mountain was inspiring from a breathtaking natural perspective. Everyone agrees, this was a spectacular day and we’re glad we started with Robben Island and finished with Table Mountain as Table Mountain renewed our souls after seeing the horror man can subject another man to.

Cape Town and Robben Island just amazing

Published on Sep, 2024

This is a great tour which covers so much . Our tour guide Alex was so good. He showed us round and took photos for us and was very kind. He was well informed and answered any questions we had.

Great way to see the Capetown highlights

Published on May, 2024

Great tour to see all the Cape Town highlights. Rubin our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We toured Robben island and end with the spectacular views from Table Mountain.

Cape Town tour of the beautiful table mountain and Robbin’s island

Published on Apr, 2024

Tour was amazing, we enjoyed this tour. Being on top of table mountain was breathtaking. Seeing Robbin’s island was a very nice historical landmark to see but very sad to know how people had their freedom unjustly taken away. Our tour guide for Robbin’s island was once a prisoner for 5 years on the island. So glad Mr Mandela had the means to open the doors of freedom. JuJu was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable. Answered all our question and gave excellent advise to keeping us safe. He is an Awesome tour guide.
