And incredible experience
This tour was the highlight of the Cape Town portion of our trip to South Africa. Our guide, Prince, was amazing. We learned so much about the area and the history of the country as a whole. We loved that Prince let us learn at our own pace. We peppered him with questions and he was able to answer all of them in a thoughtful way. Another bonus: Prince has a great sense of humor and a nice voice. It was great to be able to customize the whole day to our liking. We loved our time with our guide and we enjoyed the time we had to explore on our own. We would recommend the tour, and our tour guide, to anyone.

A Must-Do in Cape Town
Colin is such a gem. He is so smart and knowledgeable and honestly just FUN! This tour was exactly what I wanted. We got to see so many sites and make the most out of our limited time in Cape Town. A must-do if you want to see a lot of the area in a short amount of time and actually have a great guide lead you along the way.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the review! Must say you were easy to tour with and lots of fun, made the day also fun and easy. Glad that you could join me and see so much around the Peninsula. See you next time!

Amazing honeymoon experience!
WOW what an amazing experience! My husband and I wanted to book a private tour since we were visiting South Africa for our honeymoon and did not want to join a tour with 15+ people (which many peninsula tours host larger groups). Colin was so knowledgeable and made our trip such a memorable experience! I really loved the balance Colin provided between time spent with him and the time he gave us to explore the areas on our own. It was the perfect mix of having some guidance provided by a local and getting to explore on our own. I would HIGHLY recommend any of Colin's tours as he provides the best service!!! We will 100% be booking an E-Bike wine tour with him next time we're in South Africa!
Response from the operator: Hi Alexis, thank you for the kind words and the review. We are happy to hear you and hubby had a great day around the Peninsula. We look forward to see you a next time for the ebike tour.

Mountains, sea and wine with Colin De Wet in beautiful Cape Town
My husband and I hired Colin to take us on a private tour of the cape peninsula one day and a winelands tour another day. Colin is personable and knowlegeable. The first day he drove us up the coast to the Cape of Good Hope stopping several places along the way for pictures and to see a quaint farm village. He gave us a history lesson along the route, some I remembered and lots I did not. On the way back we stopped to see the penguins and then to have a lovely lunch on the water. After finding out what our interests were, he planned a wonderful trip to 4 different vinyards (one was for lunch), a garden and the charming town of Stellenbosch. He knows the area well having lived there most of his life and working at several winieries. Such a beautiful place to visit and not to be missed when you are in Cape Town. Colin is a safe driver and an exceptional guide. I highly recommend him. He will personalize the tour just for you.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review! So happy that you joined on both days and enjoyed the tours with us. We love creating memories with our visitors. Thank you for the kind words

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Cape Peninsula Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Private Cape Peninsula Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $259 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 Private Cape Peninsula Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Cape Peninsula Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Private Cape Peninsula Tour?
+
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 Private Cape Peninsula Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Cape Peninsula Tour?
+
Around 9 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Cape Peninsula Tour 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 of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from 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.
