Do it yourself instead
Both Table Mountain and Robben Island are incredible experiences and would recommend any visitors to Cape Town to go to both. However, this tour is certainly not the best way of doing either. Incredibly expensive compared to doing it yourself, and in the case of Table Mountain, your time would be curtailed in order to do Robben Island afterwards. We never actually got to go to Table Mountain on the day of our tour as it was closed to high winds. Obviously not the fault of the provider, though I suspect they knew this before picking us up but were wary of being asked for a half day refund if they cancelled the morning. The driver therefore said we had "4 hours to kill" and asked us where we would like to go instead; he did not make suggestions. We asked to go to Seal Island and paid for a boat trip from there ourselves and had some lunch. In the afternoon, the Robben Island trip was brilliant and a highlight of our trip - but was entirely without input from the tour provider who simply dropped us at the ferry terminal and picked us up after. This would have been so easy to do ourselves via Uber/Taxi and I would recommend people do that instead. The driver was very polite and careful throughout, and very conscious of dropping us and picking us up at exact meeting points so we knew where to go. However, that's all he was - a driver for the day, and it would have been highly unlikely we lost our way at either point even without him. When we left Table Mountain at 8.30am, we were told our tickets were valid for 7 days and then could be refunded if still un-used. Sadly the cable cars remained closed due to weather for the rest of our time in Cape Town. We were then not able to get them refunded directly by the Table Mountain staff as we were not the purchaser, and Viator refused to process it for us. For context, Table Mountain cable cars cost around £20 each (Fast track £43), Robben Island Tour £27 and depending on where you are picked up and dropped off, I would suggest total Uber cost to get to and from both and in between would probably be around £40-£50. So save yourself the extra £80!

Just a bit to do to make it five stars!
Tour guide was great, having a driver all day is a blessing. When we arrived to table mountain, it was closed due to weather. The company maybe could have checked the website for us as we didn’t know this. Our tickets are valid for 7 days and were sent to us so at least we can reuse. Our driver then took us around to some lovely photo spots before we went to Robben island. Again, we weren’t told anywhere in the t’s and c’s that we needed ID to get into Robben island. Thankfully we all had them otherwise it could have been a massive error. We had a great day regardless but maybe better communication could make this a 5 star tour.
Response from the operator: Hi Dear Customer Thank you for your reviews your voice haveen heared and we hope to see your again last time.

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cape Town Private, Tour Robben Island Gateaway & Table Mountain Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Cape Town Private, Tour Robben Island Gateaway & Table Mountain Car cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 Town Private, Tour Robben Island Gateaway & Table Mountain Car 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 Town Private, Tour Robben Island Gateaway & Table Mountain Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 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 outdoors in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cape Town Private, Tour Robben Island Gateaway & Table Mountain Car?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Cape Town Private, Tour Robben Island Gateaway & Table Mountain Car 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 Town Private, Tour Robben Island Gateaway & Table Mountain Car?
+
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 Cape Town Private, Tour Robben Island Gateaway & Table Mountain Car 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.
