Brahm and Leanne were wonderful! They were helpful, excited, knowledgeable, fun, and kind. It seemed like the still had the enthusiasm of the first day, but with a decade of experience. They offered a good amount of commentary with lots of information, but also allowed breaks (and not talking constantly). Every question I asked was answered with delight. Would strongly recommend!Tour did not go by Chapman's Peak Drive, but it hit two other essential spots- Boulder's Beach and Cape Point/ Cape of Good Hope. Our guide gave us plenty of time to explore each location, and was a wonderful experience for the price.

This tour is overpriced and the Boulder Beach tickets arent for the beach. When you get on the bus you are told you need to buy tickets to BB. Fine, but what you actualy buy are tickets to a viewing platform at a visitor centre not the actual BB. For this you walk past the visitor centre on a wooden pathway and pay another 178R where you can walk on the beach and get much closer to the penguins than those on the wooden viewing platform. Why anybody would go there is beyond me, perhaps like me they didnt know so hopefully this helps future visitors. There is one restaurant but you need to go to eat at 11.45 so either dont have breakfast or simply bring food to eat when you fancy it Also, the coach had the heating on. When i asked if this could be turned off i was told it couldnt be. I wouldnt mind but mid 20s you dont need the heating on a coach and the metal case got hot which if touched would hurt.Penguins and the scenic views at cape point. Also the bus ride was comfortable and our guide was very informative and humorous too.
