Wonderful trip thanks to Kembo
We had a private tour with Kembo on November 5th and had a wonderful day! Kembo was already waiting for us right on time, and we immediately clicked. He is a very safe and careful driver and shared lots of interesting facts and stories along the way. We also had some lovely conversations about life, which made the day even more special. He was very flexible, listened carefully to our wishes and made sure the tour suited us perfectly. We had an absolutely fantastic day and would highly recommend Itchy Tours, and especially Kembo, to anyone looking for a great guide and a memorable experience! Thank you, Kembo, for such a wonderful day! Kind Regards, Peter and Patricia from the Netherlands 🫶🏻

A Wonderful Tour!
We took two full-day tours in Cape Town. The first was along the Cape Peninsula—visiting the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point, and Boulders Beach—while the second focused on the wineries in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. Kembo was our guide and driver. We truly appreciated his proactive approach in switching the scheduled days due to the rain and rearranging the winery reservations, ensuring we experienced the Cape Peninsula on a sunny day. He was fantastic, highly attentive, knowledgeable, and always went out of his way to tailor the tour to our expectations.
Response from the operator: Dear Jacques and Valeria, Thank you both for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure spending those two days with you and showing you some of the beautiful places the Cape has to offer. I'm glad we made the decision to switch the days around. Cape Town's weather sometimes requires a little flexibility, and I'm pleased that the change allowed you to enjoy the Cape Peninsula in the sunshine while still making the most of your Winelands experience. For me, one of the most rewarding aspects of private touring is being able to adapt the itinerary to suit each guest's interests and expectations. It's wonderful to know that you appreciated that approach. Thank you again for choosing Itchy Feet Tours & Safaris and for trusting me with part of your Cape Town holiday. I hope the memories of your time here stay with you for many years to come.

Book Kembo, you won't regret it.
My partner and I recently did a private Cape Peninsula and Penguins Tour with Kembo. Initial communication was good and we were picked up from our accommodation on time in a clean, comfortable and spacious vehicle. The whole tour was well organised and relaxed and we were able to adjust our time at the various locations to suit our interests. Kembo, as well as being an excellent driver, is extremely good company. He's professional, friendly and knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him about a variety of topics throughout the day. He's also an accomplished photographer who knows the right places to get the best pictures! Check out his Facebook profile. If you're in Cape Town looking for a guide, I would highly recommend Kembo and we wouldn't hesitate to book him again. Kembo - thank you for reworking your schedule so that you could guide us personally. You proved my hunch was right 🙂.
Response from the operator: Hi Kris, Thank you for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure sharing the Cape Peninsula and Penguins Tour with you and Ian, and I’m delighted you enjoyed the relaxed pace, photography stops and conversations along the way. I’m glad we could make the day work around your interests. Thank you for choosing Itchy Feet Tours & Safaris for your private tour in Cape Town. You’re always welcome back :-)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ day ….
We were picked up on time by a cheerful Talent. Before setting off for the coast he drove us round some important landmarks in Cape Town and more importantly imparted much history about South Africa, to give us an excellent context for our stay. This was all done with respect. The full day tour took us to all the places advertised. Talent drove us right up to each experience and gave us the time we needed to enjoy the attraction. He always gave clear return meeting instructions. All the stops were breath-taking in their own way and fortunately not too busy. The penguins were a particular favourite. We are grateful we got Talent as a guide for the day as we got a seven star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service …
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private Cape Peninsula experience and appreciated Talent’s knowledge, warmth and professionalism. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Cape Town one day.

Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

Who is Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included. best for?

Is Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included. good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at R 1,960, above the R 1,475 typical for similar experiences in Cape Town.
How much does Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included. cost?
+
Prices start at R 1,960 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 Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included. 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 Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 87 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.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included.?
+
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 Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included. 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 Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included.?
+
Around 30 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 Cape Peninsula & Penguins Private Day Tour, Entrances Included. 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: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Cape Town Airport Private Transfer, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town. 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.
