Best thing since sliced bread
Very good tour with Rob. Took us to additional spots where other, busier tours will not go. Good flexibility being able to discuss the day and what you want to see. Lots of information shared throughout. Very worthwhile and recommend for others to do!

Amazing Tour of the Cape Peninsula.
This was my second tour with Cape Convoy and once again, it was an excellent adventure exploring the Cape Peninsula. Rob responds quickly to inquiries and was very helpful through the booking process which went smoothly. Our tour guide for the day was Randall, a delightful local who shared many fascinating stories about growing up in Cape Town. The scenery is breathtaking and we arrived early enough to miss the crowds for the obligatory photos at the Cape Point sign. As always, the penguins at Boulders Beach are a highlight and they were in fine form entertaining visitors. We were unlucky with the weather (torrential rain), but fortunately it held off during strategic stops, including Cape Point and the penguins. Randall knew the best stops for photo opportunities and where to get close (but not too close) to the seals. He was so flexible as we adjusted to the weather and added a variety of additional stops and drives so we could truly appreciate the beauty and history of the region. I would highly recommend a tour with Cape Convoy, and I will definitely book again on my next visit to Cape Town.

Excellence in South africa
Wonderful Private tour from Cape Town down to Cape of good hope! Our driver was wonderful, informative, and knew how to beat the crowds!!! He offered experiences/options during the drive which was wonderful, we stopped in Constantinople at a winery on the ride back. We also did a private wine tour to Stellenbosch one day with this company as well! It was a perfect day in wine country!

Excellent Day Tour
Booked the full day tour covering Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Bay, Chatmans Peak and various other stops. Rob was a fun and knowledgeable guide through the day and, as promised, we avoided the crowds! A highly recommended tour for anyone wanting to see the sights of the cape in a fun and efficient manner.

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Avoid the Lines! - Avoid the Crowds! With Convoy Tours!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Avoid the Lines! - Avoid the Crowds! With Convoy Tours! cost?
+
Prices start at $94 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Avoid the Lines! - Avoid the Crowds! With Convoy Tours! take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Avoid the Lines! - Avoid the Crowds! With Convoy Tours! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 161 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Avoid the Lines! - Avoid the Crowds! With Convoy Tours!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Avoid the Lines! - Avoid the Crowds! With Convoy Tours! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Avoid the Lines! - Avoid the Crowds! With Convoy Tours!?
+
Around 56 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Avoid the Lines! - Avoid the Crowds! With Convoy Tours! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town Airport Private Transfer, Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
