This tour is an ideal choice for those who want to explore both the historical heart of the city and the contemporary soul of Cape Town. We tour the centre on foot and the beach and waterfront areas by bike, with a visit to Table Mountain, (weather permitting).
This morning you will be collected from your city or Waterfront hotel, from where we start your tour by bike. Soak up the vibe of the urban hub during the first part of your tour and take in the fresh Atlantic sea breeze as we travel along the Atlantic Seaboard to Sea Point, a promenade frequented by locals jogging and walking. Highlights include the Green Point Lighthouse, the oldest working lighthouse in the country Green Point Urban Park - a haven in the city created along with the stadium during the World Cup.
After a refreshment stop, we return to the start of the ride and drive into the centre of town for the start of our historical walk. Start where it all began, at the original Cape shoreline. Hear about the origins of the city, the people who lived here from ancient times and those who colonised it more recently. Along the way, we enjoy lunch at a local favourite and a walk in the Company's Garden, during which we explore Government Ave and St George's Cathedral. We end the walk with a stop at Greenmarket Square where you will have an opportunity to shop for souvenirs in and around the square, before driving to the lower cable station for your trip to the top of Table Mountain.
Enjoy the waning daylight with views over the city and surrounding mountains before returning to your hotel.
This is a combination tour involving easy biking and walking. Biking will start and end at hotels located in the Waterfront or Cape Quarter. The start of the route will be adapted for hotels located elsewhere. The proportion of walking and biking and the routes can easily be adapted on request, if clients wish to concentrate on a particular aspect of the city, but the tour will include the historical highlights as well as some cultural interactions.
This tour may need to be adapted to accommodate adverse weather conditions.
Prices exclude Table Mountain tickets due to the weather dependency.
