Cape Archives Tours gave us a great,, all day tour of the penguins at Boulders Beach, the capes, and the entire peninsula. Our driver, Danson, was outstanding - very knowlegeable, careful, fun to talk to. Excellent experience. We also did the balloon and winery tour with Danson, but the balloon was cancelled (twice) thanks to fog and wind. While disappointing, there's no question this was the right call for safety. Again, Danson was superb and we can't recommend him highly enough.

People make the experience better and PETER was absolutely fantastic. He was on time to the pick up point, courteous and genuinely friendly with everyone. He was knowledgeable and flexible to all 11 passengers on the van ride. I will book again from this agency as long as Peter is there for us.

We had an amazing wine tram tour!! We went to four different wineries and had transportation to each one and learned so much from our amazing guide, Candy!! I’d definitely book a tour with them again, it was a wonderful experience.

We have enjoyed the most wonderful & informative day with our guide Candy & driver Zane. Both were so friendly & knowledgeable. We booked the tour via Tripadvisor. Our group were picked up on time from our relative apartments& our first stop was Bo Kaap- Candy told us lots of info about this amazing historic area. We then moved on the Table Mountain which was very impressive with good visibility. We stopped regularly take photos of picturesque views & Candy was always happy to take pictures of us at these locations. Having stopped for a coffee break we went on to the Cape of Good Hope National Park where some of the group, including our selves climbed the footpath from the bottom to the car park at the top. There is a vesicular to the lighthouse also. The views were stunning & we stayed for 2 hours. Then off to see the penguins stopping again to take photos along the way. This tour is fantastic & great value but best of all Candy & Zane made it their own. Candy is so knowledgeable & we learned so much throughout the day. Both she & Zane made it the most enjoyable day. Even teaching us boba & songs. Just brilliant - not to be missed.

We paid approximately $322 for our 2 person "Private Tour : Cape Of Good Hope And Boulders Beach Penguin Colony". We booked with this company because the other (very well rated) company we had initially booked with was not responding to our inquiries. Any time I sent a message to this company (in particular, Junior) they responded to me in less than 24-hours with clear information. So I cancelled the other company and booked with these guys and very glad I did so. They messaged me on WhatsApp and email and I knew things were arranged. When we arrived at the cruise port, our driver was waiting for us in a large, excellent condition mini-van where we had TONS of room to spread out and be comfortable. We left bright and early and proceeded on our approximately 9-hour full day, inclusive of sit down lunch overlooking the ocean. Our guide was incredibly friendly and not only gave us great historical and cultural information but also opened doors for us and asked for our input on things, so this really felt very private and luxurious. You will need some local currency unless you buy the "park pass all inclusive" version of this tour (we did not).....although you won't need as much physical currency as the tour description implies because some of the sites REQUIRE you to pay with credit card.....so I ended up having more currency than needed. Other than that small minor communication issue, this tour was AMAZING and very convenient for people returning or starting a cruise because they picked us up right at the port and then dropped us right at the airport at the end of the day (with our bags safely and securely stored in the vehicle). The sites were excellent and the nice thing of private is you can go as quick/ slow as you particular interest is. The lunch was at a tourist style restaurant overlooking the ocean with tablecloth seating and table service.....food quality was high, alcohol cost extra, and the service was a little slow but no harm. We were dropped off at the airport right at the time we selected and were ready to sleep on the flight after an excellent full day. Overall, we would definitely do this again and recommend to all.
