Fun way to see Cape Point.

We had a beautiful day with Bradley at Cape Point. Awol provided excellent equipment (shuttle car and bikes). Bradley customized the tour based on our interests and abilities, maximizing what we wanted to see and do. Great experience,

Response from the operator: So happy to hear that AWOL was a great experience for you ! Thank you for the compliments for Bradley, which we will pass on to him Our Cape Point Tour is action packed with hiking / cycling/swimming (if you want to ) , kayaking if you'd like to see the penguins hunting - and of course great Cape Town cuisine. It is indeed a FULL day - guaranteed to be etched into the memory banks We appreciate your lovely comments Wendy from the AWOL Team

Great way to explore the Cape Peninsula

Our tour with AWOL was an absolute standout on our recent trip to Cape Town. The level of organization and communication that took place before and during our tour was so reassuring. Our guide Bevan was knowledgeable about anything we might have questions about – we heard about local culture, history, geography, plants, animals, and Bevan was happy to share his unique perspective as well. He was also laid back and a fun person to spend the day with. We visited the penguins at Boulder Beach, which were delightful to watch. We continued onwards to Cape Point and saw baby Ostriches up close. Bevan was good about getting us a good view without disturbing the wildlife – we appreciated his respect for the animals and felt like we were in good hands amongst the larger tours which (at times) seemed comparatively hectic. We hiked up to the lighthouse to soak in the gorgeous view and snap some pics, before climbing back down to begin our bike ride through Table Mountain National Park. This was certainly the highlight of the day, as we got to stretch our legs, feel the breeze, and enjoy the scenery as well as the thrill of this unique experience. Bevan was always nearby if we needed a break, or more water. After that we grabbed a tasty lunch and continued along the Cape Peninsula, taking in the view from Chapman’s Peak. The flexibility of this tour was wonderful, especially when my partner was eager to bike and I was feeling ill that day. I still got in a good 10-15km but it was nice to have the option to sit in the car while my partner continued her bike ride, rather than stress out about signing up for an activity that I suddenly didn’t have the stamina for. It was also great to be able to pick and choose what stops we wanted to make and for how long. We had considered renting a car and driving along the peninsula ourselves, but we’re so happy we opted for this tour. We felt that we got to make all the stops we wanted on just one tour, had a truly special experience biking together through the park, and actually got to enjoy the view along the Peninsula rather than needing to focus on the road or fight for a view. We highly recommend AWOL tours – we’ll definitely be back!

Response from the operator: Dear Jocelyn Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on your recent trip to Cape Town. We are so thrilled that you chose us, and enjoyed the company and expertise of our AWOL Guide Bevan. So glad that you enjoyed our communication and organization ahead of your travel date , and that you appreciated the respect and professionalism of our guide! We look forward to welcoming you back to our beautiful country again soon. Please do tell your friends and family about your positive experiences Warm Regards Wendy Purdo for the AWOL Team

Brilliant way to discover the Cape

This was an amazing day. The Cape Peninsula itself is incredible but the service from AWOL was 5 stars: great communication prior to booking and then in the lead up to the trip, friendly and knowledgeable guide, and great flexibility as a private tour (I was keen to cycle as much as possible for instance but the support vehicle means it is flexible). Definitely the highlight of my trip.

Response from the operator: Hello @LuckyDuck777, and thank you for your wonderful review. Here at AWOL Tours, we do try to make our tours the #HighlightOfYourHoliday, so your review meant the world to us. We consider ourselves really blessed to have all this beauty in our Back Yard (so to speak), but we strive to keep our private cycling and hiking tours, flexible, personable , and to communicate as much as possible, so that our guests are happy with what they get on the day . We are so glad that you chose to cycle with us- and look forward to your next trip to Cape Town, where we can assist with further adventures

Amzing day at the Cape

This is an amazing way to experience the Cape and a great way to see everything in one day without feeling that you need to rush and sit in the car queue all day. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and told us much more about SA history than what could be expected. We could cycle as much as we wanted and also some off road. Highly recommend this for families and groups of any kind.

Response from the operator: Dear Outi S, Thank you for taking the time to post this very much appreciated review of your AWOL Cape Point and Peninsula cycling tour. Yes, on private AWOL cycling tours our guests can really cycle as much or as little as they prefer; your support vehicle and guide is always close on hand for those who get tired or to offer scenic cycling route suggestions. All our AWOL Guides are certified professional guides who love sharing their top tips and insights into the history and culture of Cape Town. This tour also has an option to include a sea kayaking penguin paddle and our guests are welcome to bring towels and costumes for a refreshing sea swim along the way. This is a great option for adventurous families and there are great hiking options available also with highlight view points. Thank you again for the recommendation, we look very much forward to welcoming you back to Cape Town for more cycling. Kind regards, Helen for AWOL Tours.

Wonderful ocean side biking tour

We had a private cycling tour from Capetown to Chapmans Peak and back, under the guidance of Dave and Daniel. It was a great experience, must be the most beautiful cycling route in the world, and the good quality bikes and leadership made it a great experience.

Response from the operator: Dear Aernout B, Thank you for taking the time to review your AWOL Tours Cape Town experience. We are so pleased that we could assist with your early morning cycling request. Yes, the Atlantic Seaboard cycle provides absolutely breathtaking scenery and our cycling guests are welcome to set the pace and the distance to their personal preference and available time frame. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the bikes and company and expertise of your cycling guides Dave and Daniel. We look very much forward to welcoming you back to Cape Town for more cycling adventures. Kind regards, Helen for AWOL Tours.

Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town: questions travelers ask

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

How does Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town compare to similar tours in Cape Town?

+

It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cape Town, with an Outty Ranking of 60. At R 4,060 it sits above the typical similar option (R 1,275), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and anyone who wants flexible plans.

Who is Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town best for?

+

It suits families and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Is Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town good value?

+

It is a premium pick. It starts at R 4,060, above the R 1,275 typical for similar experiences in Cape Town.

How much does Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town cost?

+

Prices start at R 4,060 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 Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town take?

+

Plan for about 5 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 Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 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 Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula 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 Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town?

+

Around 6 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula 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: 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.

What is included in Private Cycling Tour of The Cape Peninsula from Cape Town?
