    From frowns to smiles, effortlessly

    What a stressful flight from California! Delays, delays and more delays! After questioning our choice to travel to Cape Town, we were met by the most amazing driver (Siji) and handled so passionately by the bookings lady (Ferdi). The way this team over invested in ensuring that our experience upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport made a complete 360, shows why they are referred to by so many as the go-to company. With this level of passion and professionalism, I am certain that Cabo Travel and Tours will soon become a name in many homes. Thank you once again! Keep up the spectacular work!

    Response from the operator: If we were able to leave clients a review, I would give you 5 stars! Thank you for your kind words, Brandon. And for trusting us to handle your bookings and ultimately leave you with good memories of Cape Town. Stay blessed

    11/10! Would absolutely recommend

    I booked very spontaneously to get picked up at the airport, and even on very short notice, Siji was super fast and here in no time! He also kept me updated along the way, so I knew exactly when he would be there and did not have to worry to be alone at the airport for too long. It was an absolute pleasure, I learned a lot of things about Cape Town on the way to the hotel! He was incredibly friendly and keen to help me out with different infos about sight seeing and spots to be. Also he really adapted all of his recommendations on what to see on cape town to my personal interests and told me about different tours he would recommend. I will definitely book my way back to the airport here again!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback and review. We value you as my most important asset and would do anything possible to ensure that your journey is a success. Best regards

    Great experience. Highly recommend.

    Siji was great. After our flight, we had to get through a long line at customs that close to an hour. Siji patiently waited and greeted us with a smile.

    Response from the operator: We understand that unforeseen delays do occasionally occur and that it is out of the clients control. So from our side, It was an absolute pleasure! 💐 Thank you for affording us the opportunity to transport you. Your kind words and review are appreciated

    Official Airport Taxi Service: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

    How much does Official Airport Taxi Service cost?

    +

    Prices start at $53 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 Official Airport Taxi Service take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Official Airport Taxi Service worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Official Airport Taxi Service?

    +

    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 Official Airport Taxi Service suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Official Airport Taxi Service?

    +

    Around 2 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Official Airport Taxi Service 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, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. 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.

    What is included in Official Airport Taxi Service?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Parking fees. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Official Airport Taxi Service?

    +

    Your driver will be waiting for you just beyond exit doors of the international or domestic arrivals terminal. Look out. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Official Airport Taxi Service?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Official Airport Taxi Service wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Official Airport Taxi Service if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cape Town. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Official Airport Taxi Service?
