    Great Trip

    A really enjoyable trip. It certainly is a full day with our pick up at 08:55 at Camps Bay and a drop off around 18:30. The staff Rico, Wendy and the driver (sorry I forgot his name) who were excellent. The information from Rico was first class. Thoroughly enjoyed both Boulders Beach and Cape of Good Hope (especially the hike). Reasonably priced and great trip.

    Response from the operator: Good day Valued Client. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us and leave us a 5 -star rating. It's much appreciated.

    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?

    +
