Exploring Cape Town and its beautiful nature
I had the pleasure of being guided by Rushdi during my recent tour, and I must say it was an excellent experience. Rushdi's friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge added a special touch to the journey. His passion for the local history and culture shone through, making the tour not only informative but also engaging. I highly recommend Rushdi as a tour guide for anyone looking to have a memorable and enjoyable travel experience.

Wow Tours a great way to explore Cape Town
We had a amazing experience with WOW Tours. Rushdi was our driver for all our airport to hotel + we also did a private all-day tour to Cape Hope. Rushdi was always on time and polite. Being a local from Cape Town, he was able to share so much detail on both the history and the development of the city. We had never been to Cape Town, so he took the time to share the historical context and answered all our questions. Highly recommend WOW if you are in Cape Town!
Response from the operator: Hi Rosh Thank you so much for the review. It was a real pleasure to host you in Cape. As a professional guide it is my duty to share everything, good and bad, with all my clients. ☺️ There is so much more to see and do, so I look forward to your next visit. All the best to you and the wife and good wishes for the new year.

Outstanding Service
Had a wonderful experience with Wow Travel. They provided meet and great at the airport for our group, provided an exceptional private tour of the City and Cape area. We also booked transfers to Stellenbosch and received amazing service including a winery visit that was out of this world. Rushdie and his team were extremely knowledgeable, flexible with our ever changing schedule and made our visit to Capetown extremely enjoyable.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to write the review, it is really much appreciated. This is exactly what we are about when on tour, always to ensure your safety, enjoyment and being flexible. We hope you will be back soon to enjoy so much to offer. Have a wonderful xmas and best new year ever. Rushdi

Outstanding service
I have just returned to the UK after a wonderful week in South Africa and wanted to record my appreciation for the terrific service provided by Rushdi at Wow. He was an excellent guide. As someone who travels a great deal, I am used to less professional guides. He created a personalised tour that allowed us to see the spectacular sights of Cape Town, while also getting to see the less obvious areas of interest that we said that we wanted to explore. I would warmly recommend him and his company if you are thinking of traveling to Cape Town, it is definitely the best way to see this spectacular area.
Response from the operator: Hi Bryher It was a real pleasure to assist wherever it was possible. I am pleased that you enjoyed it so much and thank you so much for finding the time to write such a wonderful review. I look forward to welcoming you back sooner rather than later. Best wishes Rushdi

Just an outstanding experience...
<p>Just an outstanding experience thanks to an excellent guide. Everything except The Mountain was a unique and interesting experience. As for The Mountain, I am not a fan of endless line-ups - here you can expect 2-3 hours worth starting with car arrival and ending with getting back down on the cable car. That's not for me. Otherwise get a great guide and it's wonderful.</p>

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain from Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Private Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain from Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain from Cape Town 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 Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain from Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 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 Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain 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 Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain from Cape Town 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 Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain from Cape Town?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain 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, 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 happens to Private Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain from Cape Town 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 Private Tour: Cape Town City and Table Mountain from Cape Town?
+
Across 6 reviews averaging 4.5 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, small groups. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
