Fantastic day around the Cape with Francis
We wanted an overview of Cape Town and Francis didn’t disappoint! Alongside a fascinating commentary as we drove, he took us to all the highlights of this fascinating area. Francis took us to Bo Kapp, Table Mountain, Chapmans Drive, Cape Point - with lunch at the stunning Two Oceans restaurant- Boulders Beach for penguins and finally a chocolate and wine tasting in Constantia. It was a fabulous day and Francis looked after us very well. Will definitely be in touch when we are next back in the Rainbow Nation.
Response from the operator: Dear Martin, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic day exploring Cape Town with Francis. It’s great to know that the tour gave you a memorable overview of all the iconic highlights — from the colorful Bo-Kaap to the majestic Table Mountain, scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive, the dramatic Cape Point, and of course, the adorable penguins at Boulders Beach. Francis will be delighted to know his knowledge and care made your experience so special. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Rainbow Nation for more adventures in the future! Warm regards, F Teme Travel and Tours

An unforgettable day exploring Cape Town’s most iconic spots with a fantastic guide, Mr. Francis Teme.
Visiting Table Mountain was one of the highlights of my trip to Cape Town, and having Mr. Francis Teme as my guide made it even more memorable. He was punctual, well-organized, and shared fascinating insights about the mountain, the city’s history, and the surrounding nature. The views from the top were absolutely breathtaking — panoramic sights of Cape Town, the ocean, and even Robben Island in the distance. Mr. Francis made sure l was comfortable and helped me capture the best photo spots while keeping the experience fun and informative. His warm personality and deep knowledge made this more than just a sightseeing trip — it was an experience to remember. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town, and if you get Mr. Francis as your guide, you're in great hands!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Cape Peninsula Tour: Table Mountain & Penguins: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Private Cape Peninsula Tour: Table Mountain & Penguins cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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: Table Mountain & Penguins take?
+
Plan for about 9 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: Table Mountain & Penguins worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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: Table Mountain & Penguins?
+
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: Table Mountain & Penguins suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Cape Peninsula Tour: Table Mountain & Penguins?
+
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Cape Peninsula Tour: Table Mountain & Penguins 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.
