On this comfortable half-day tour, a private guide will collect you from your hotel or self-catering villa for a brilliant, box-ticking time.
It includes all Cape Town’s ‘must-sees’, from key establishment locations to places indicative of the dazzling multicultural city of today. And it includes a visit to the top of iconic Table Mountain (cable car tickets cost extra, however – currently R240/adult and R115/child aged 4-17).
Culture-wise, you’ll tick off the beautiful South African Museum and its surrounding Company Gardens, plus the Castle of Good Hope, Cape Town’s oldest building. Greenmarket Square, meanwhile, isn’t just an arty flea market, but also a hub for mimers, buskers and jugglers.
There’s a stop too at the V&A Waterfront, home to a buzzing hotel and restaurant scene, and a drive through Bo-Kaap, a township famed for its colourful houses.
The Best of South Africa Travel map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.
