A really good way to see Cape Town as a beginner. Bus is easy to use and the routes well laid out. Set of earphones allow you to listen to a commentary highlighting the featuees and landmarks as you pass them. Cable car is also a wonderful experience. I arrived there midday which was maybe a mistake given the fact there was a long queue, but it moved quickly enough and there is plenty of shade, seats etc. On the cable car itself, dont rush for the front of the carriage for the views, the floor rotates through 360 degrees so everyone gets the chance. Once at the top there are plenty of marked walks of varying lengths and the views are to die for. Cafe etc at the top for a drink and a chance to relax and enjoy! When checking the weather for your trip though, make sure the winds dont pick up while youre planning to be up at the top, if they do become strong and the cable car stops you will have a hike to get back down!

Fantastic staff, everything ran like clockwork. Drop off and collection times were exact and everything ran on time. Vineyards were stunning and food and tastings were amazing and at a good price. Only disappointment was that the tram itself was out of service so it was buses only but still enjoyed it.

This is absolutely brilliant when you do not have much time to spend in Cape Town and you want to see the highlights. I would do that even again next time, it is a great way of transport in the city too! Really recommend to anyone. If you want to visit the vineyards, two days are not even enough :).

Very nice tour. Pick-up location was central, good explanation, seen many vineyards.

Perfect tour with nice guides! Perfect when there is not much time in Cape Town!
