2 verified traveler reviews for Best of Cape Town. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Tour operator cancelled last minute. Do not use.
Had this tour booked for weeks in advance ahead of our trip to Cape Town. Tour operator cancelled 12 hours before due to being “overbooked” with no future explanation or apology given. We are now scrambling around trying to rebook something else with another operator as we have limited time left of our holiday here. Very inappropriate and poor service especially given this was a private activity.
Response from the operator: Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your tour. We understand that you had booked the tour well in advance and were looking forward to experiencing Cape Town with us. We regret to inform you that the tour was cancelled due to an unforeseen overbooking issue. We sincerely apologize for any frustration or disappointment this may have caused and assure you that we are working diligently to resolve the issue and prevent it from happening again in the future. We hope that you were able to find another tour operator and have a wonderful time in Cape Town. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further concerns or questions.

Great way to see outer Cape Town.
This was a great way to see things around Cape Town, but not right in the city. We especially liked the Boulder Beach penguins, the Cape Point Lighthouse, & the Cape I’d Good Hope. We saw some amazing wildlife, too. Jason was a great guide.
Response from the operator: Hi Martina, We were thrilled being the tour company of choice for you and your partner. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and being so open with us. We are glad you enjoyed the Best of Cape Town and that your day was filled with knowledge and beautiful scenic landscapes. We hope you'll come and tour with us again soon! Management | +27780102615

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best of Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Best of Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $8500 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 Best of Cape Town 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 Best of Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Cape Town?
+
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 Best of Cape Town 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 Best of Cape Town?
+
Around 1 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 Best of Cape Town 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 of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town, Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour, Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries. 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.
