65 tours  ·  from $23

The cableway answers to the wind and the queue answers to the cruise ships, so timing beats everything. These 15 cover the cable car, the Platteklip walk up and the combinations that add the city and Camps Bay, with prices and how early to be at the lower station.

8.Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope & Penguins including Park Fees

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 399 reviews · from $284

You’ll see Cape Town’s headline sights in a private car with a guide such as Ray, Gift, Jeff, Joel, or Nathan. Table Mountain, Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, and Boulders Beach fees are included. Expect a long, busy day with optional boat, wine, funicular, and lunch stops.

“Overall, the experience was good, but for the price, I expected more. Some key stops—Hoek and Seal Island—were skipped, and when I asked why, I was told they’re only included if we skip Table Mountain. This wasn’t mentioned in the itinerary, which felt misleading. Many locations were just drive-bys rather than actual stops, which was disappointing. The guide was excellent—knowledgeable and accommodating—but the experience itself felt more like a high-end Uber ride than a full tour. Even basic details like having enough water were overlooked; there were only two small bottles, which wasn’t ideal for a longer trek at Cape Point. That said, the views were stunning and absolutely worth…”

Set out from your Cape Town accommodation with an English-speaking guide such as Samora or Yamkela, ride the Table Mountain cable car, then take the ferry to Robben Island for its prison and island tours. Robben Island tickets and transport are included, but the cable car costs extra.

“Our guide, Yamkela, was fantastic. He was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable and picked us up from the exact location we wanted.

The ex-prisoner tour is extremely good.”

“Table Mountain was fantastic. Looking down at the clouds was amazing. The tram ride was quick and easy. We found the entire operation very efficient. We visited the penguin colony was very interesting and at time entertaining! The visit to Bo Kaap was our favorite, not only the appealing vibrant colored homes, but it’s history as told by our very impressive guide, Jeff. We loved the predominantly Muslim neighborhood filled with artistic works of ‘love, peace, goodwill, etc.’ painted on many of the buildings. It was made more important finding out the Jewish neighborhood is adjacent. Our guide, Jeff, made this tour one of the best we’ve ever taken. He…”
