Lugar perfeito. Guia ruim!
Hello Nellan, I would like to thank you for the tour service provided today. The punctuality and cleanliness of the vehicle were positive points, and the places we visited were also incredible. However, I would like to report one negative aspect regarding the service provided by our guide, Guyon. He seemed to be in a bad mood during the tour. He spoke very quietly and sometimes appeared irritated when we asked questions. He also did not seem concerned about making sure that everyone in the group received the information and understood the schedule. Another detail that I consider more serious is that he seemed to direct most of his attention and information towards the German group that was travelling with us, while we, along with the other Brazilian tourists, often felt left out. Personally, I had the impression that he did not like Brazilians. There were other Brazilians in the group, and they all had a similar general impression of the situation. I could mention other details, but I believe that the points mentioned above are sufficient. All the other guides we have had during our trip made an effort to ensure that we had a good experience, but unfortunately, this guide Guyon did not seem to make the same effort. I hope you will take this feedback into consideration and look for ways to improve the experience for future tourists, so that they do not feel the way we did. We checked all reviews on google and get your guide and we don't expect this. Kind regards, Douglas

Great tour of the Cape. ...

Go on this trip, even if weather doesn't cooperate
It was a miserable weather day--wind so strong trees were coming down and rain often blowing sideways. But our driver/guide, Armando, made our trip fun and great nevertheless. He was very knowledgeable, funny and accommodating and did his best to minimize our time walking to the vehicle in poor weather. Seeing the penguins, even in the worst weather, made it all worthwhile.

A Great Day
Our driver Patrick was perfect for the job; he arrived promptly and was extremely welcoming from the first contact; he was very enthusiastic and made the tour memorable for me and my wife. The pace of the tour is perfect I would describe it as chilled, yet efficient. The places we visited were all top quality and the time spent at locations were exactly the right amount of time needed. I would highly advise to anyone who wishes to witness Cape Town’s beauty to go through this company. Our guide, Patrick delivered us a most memorable day and was extremely professional through the entire tour.

Why this scores 93
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cape Point & Boulders Beach Penguins Full-Day Tour from Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Cape Point & Boulders Beach Penguins Full-Day Tour from Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at R 640 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 Point & Boulders Beach Penguins Full-Day Tour from 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 Cape Point & Boulders Beach Penguins Full-Day Tour from Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 424 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 Cape Point & Boulders Beach Penguins Full-Day Tour from 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 Cape Point & Boulders Beach Penguins Full-Day Tour from 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 Cape Point & Boulders Beach Penguins Full-Day Tour from Cape Town?
+
Around 148 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 Point & Boulders Beach Penguins Full-Day Tour from 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 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.
