Saw so much in a single day. Well worth every second. Our tour was led by someone super knowledgeable, so we learned a lot of history along the way. Great stops for picture-perfect moments as well.

It was a very great experience. Although it was quite rainy, tour guide Lucadel made the tour fantastic. After an unexpected stop with a short boat cruise to a seal island, we visited cape of good hope, had a lunch stop and finaly visited boulders beach with penguins. As wheater conditions did not allow to visit table mountain, we could spontaneously spend more time at the other locations - all together more than 9 hours.Petros_H
