Ed
Togeda was great! She was super friendly and was very passionate about capetown. She would tell us all the details of each area we drove by and also stopped to describe any animals we saw on the trip. She even hiked together with us at cape of good hope. I would definitely do the trip again.
Oskar
It’s a must to stop at this iconic place with lots of interesting history and fantastic nature. Recommend walking to the stop for even better views. You can also take a short hike to Diaz beach or a longer one to the lighthouse at Cape Point. If you want to take a picture at the Sign for Cape of Good Hope you might have to wait for a bit cause there is often a queue.
Jung
I was very satisfied with both the price and the product course. The guide took good pictures and the driver was very kind. If you go to Cape Town, you must take this tour, not an option 👍🙏👏
Lewis

Victoria
Highly recommend this tour! Everything was so smooth. Was a perfect day and a highlight of the travel. Our guide T shared a lot of information and she was so friendly. They stopped at all good photo spot and were very patient. Never rushing through sights. They also slowed down whenever there was an animal to see. We have seen so much from Cape Town. Great tour!
Anna
5 stars for the guides Togeda and Jephta. The tour was very nice and they answerd all questions. We saw dolphins, seals (even without boat ride, pinguins, bush hyraxes, ostriches and more. But one advice for the tourists: please appreciate and respect the tourguides and each other. It is not nice to let the whole group wait for half an hour, be rude or anything else. Tips are highly appreciated and I need to say the guides deserve that. And not only because they help with any kind of problem you might have on the way or anything they offer to you on the trip. It is a wonderful thought threw tour and they try their best to stop and show you anything along the way (like baboons and their babies) to make that day special. Kindness is not for granted. Thank you!

Iconic place, but not very much going on around, lonely stony beach, birds and seaweed. There is a rock you can climb on and get beautiful views. You can even do a hiking and walk up to the Cape point, however that a long hourly walk, and the sun is baking. Parking is not that big, amount of tourists increases rapidly, you might spend 10 mins waiting in the queue to take a picture at the sign.
Reviews
This was just simply amazing. You can either park up at the light house and walk 1.5 hours to the view point or take a right down the cliffs much earlier and let’s say hike up for 45min. A bit exhausting but worth the work. View, nature and feeling are amazing at this spot.

My visit to the place was very beautiful. I saw the famous Cape of Good Hope point with the waves hitting the rocks and the clouds covering it. The view and the place were really beautiful and I hope to visit it again with my family and friends. It is a historical and heritage landmark that is worth visiting. I spent two hours contemplating the beauty of the place. I recommend visiting it and visiting the entire park, as you will find beauty everywhere on every path you take, with ostriches on the road and ibex running in the place.

The Cape of Good Hope, situated on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa, marks the most south-western point of the African continent. For centuries it has been a place of both fear and fascination—known for its treacherous waters where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge, creating powerful currents, sudden storms, and unpredictable weather. Originally named the “Cape of Storms” by the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, it represented one of the greatest challenges of early maritime exploration. Later renamed to the “Cape of Good Hope”, symbolizing the promise of a new sea route to the riches of the East—India and beyond. This renaming reflected optimism that the route would open unprecedented opportunities for trade and expansion during the Age of Discovery. Today, the Cape of Good Hope forms part of the Table Mountain National Park, renowned for its dramatic cliffs, rugged coastline, and rich biodiversity, including baboons, ostriches, and many bird species. It is located about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Cape Town, easily accessible for visitors who wish to experience both its natural beauty and its layered history. Two lighthouses stand sentinel here: the old lighthouse, built in 1859 at the summit of Cape Point, and the new lighthouse, constructed in 1919, located 162 meters lower near the tip of the promontory. The new one was built because the old lighthouse, though higher, was often obscured by fog and cloud cover, making it invisible to ships in peril. From the car parking, where you can find souvenir shops, you can take a cable car up to the old lighthouse or you can also walk (about 20 minutes). Visiting the Cape is more than a scenic outing—it is a journey through time. Its cliffs and windswept shores recall the daring of explorers who risked everything to expand the world’s horizons. A trip to the Cape of Good Hope is indeed worth every moment, offering panoramic views, natural wonders, and a deep connection to one of the great turning points of global history.
