4 Day Cape Town Essentials Private Tour (Accommodated)

Welcome to Cape Town! We will arrange a driver to meet & greet you at Cape Town International Airport, and take you to get settled into your accommodation. Depending on your flight arrival time, you have the rest of the day at leisure to shake of the jet lag, relax at your accommodation or to explore Cape Town and surrounding area on your own. Please chat to us if you need advice on what to do, where to go and what to eat and drink.

Day 1 highlights

This is a great way to get an introduction to “the Mother City,” Cape Town.  Go for a tour in the city and surrounding area, including the city centre, Company’s Gardens, Cape Town Castle, the Bo Kaap, Signal Hill, and the V&A Waterfront.  A big part of this tour is walking around the city with your guide getting to know the city, its different cultures, history, and geography.  A highlight of the day is riding to the top of the famous Table Mountain in a cable car, for magnificent views over Table Bay, Robben Island, The Cape Peninsula and Lions Head.

Day 2 highlights

Join us on a spectacular journey to the Cape of Good Hope, including a visit to the African Penguin colony at Boulders Beach. We’ll explore Cape Point National Park on foot by taking a walk up to the lighthouse (or opt to take the “Flying Dutchman” funicular). We will then head to the Cape of Good Hope, the furthest southwestern point in Africa. Our day will include driving along the beautiful Atlantic seaside suburbs of Clifton and Camps Bay, with views of the Twelve Apostles Mountains. We will also enjoy a spectacular coastal drive along Chapman’s Peak, to take in one of the best views in the region.

Day 3 highlights

The Western Cape of South Africa is home to more than 500 wineries, and today we will visit a few of our favourites in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, or Paarl.  We typically visit three wineries, and we like to consult with our clients on the day to tailor the stops to their tastes. Some of our favourites are:

• Babylonstoren, at the foot of Simonsberg Mountain in the Franschhoek wine valley, with a fruit and vegetable garden of amazing beauty and diversity
• Boschendal, with its garden-to-table restaurant, historic manor buildings, garden picnics, and exceptional food & wine
• Waterford Estate, a classic in the beautiful Blaauwklippen Valley, offering a chocolate and wine pairing
• Muratie Wine Estate, a Stellenbosch farm dating back to 1685, one of the oldest estates in South Africa (with the cobwebs to prove it)
• Jordan, located just outside Stellenbosch with panoramic views over False Bay and Table Mountain
• Avondale, a certified organic farm that combines natural farming methods with 21^st Century science, technology and knowledge to enhance sustainability
• Oldenburg Vineyards, an intimate tasting experience from a tasting room where every table has spectacular views of the farm

Tour services will end with a drop off at Cape Town International Airport, in time for evening flights.
