Incredible tour!! Highly recommend!
This tour was absolutely everything I wanted and more! I was picked up by Faz and her driver right in time. Before the Robben island-part she showed me some other places regarding Nelson Mandela like the statue of nelson Mandela’s glasses in sea point. Faz also has a lot of information to share about anything in Cape Town. She is very well organized, I didn’t have to worry about the Robben island tickets, water and snacks. She had that all ready for me. After the Robben Island she took me to some other interesting places in Cape Town like the colored houses and a rooftop bar. She takes a lot of photos to capture the experience which is really nice. There’s also a lot of flexibility in this tour. Faz listens to what you want to see and what you want to know and adjusts the tour to your needs. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!
Response from the operator: Hey There Maaike, What a lovely time we spent with your kind self! Many thanks for your raving review, we appreciate you taking time out to do so! Was really awesome to take you around, you are a great listener and it was an honor to be in the company of a boat captain! You are not just a pretty face, but you are super smart too! :) I hope to see you and your parents on your next trip. Take care and hope you have a fabulous high season! Take care and i wish you all the best for your future. Faz

Experience
Was unforgettable experience and alot of information was heavy for me to hear it but really enlighten. Such experience
Response from the operator: Halllooo there Muna, aww, i see what you mean the review is incomplete! I think you were too fast and excited to review us. I know you wanted to write more about the experience, but Viator will not allow you to review twice on the same portal. So I guess we must make our customers wonder what your words would have been ...Im certain it would have been positive as you rated us 5 fantastic stars! we appreciate it sooooooo very much. All my best wishes to you. Faziela.

Wonderful Guide and Service
The guide was friendly and shared her personal story. She takes you to little known places and stops that enhance the Robben Island experience. Robben Island was a very emotional experience that I will never forget. I felt I was given personalized treatment and she even helped make special accommodations for me as I am disabled. Thank you for a marvelous experience.
Response from the operator: Susan you are far too kind and I just want to say it was great to be in your company. We love to take our valued guests to some of the not so trodden spaces indeed. I hope you will come back again to do the visit to the most Southern tip of Africa Cape Agulhas. Hope you enjoy the last few days in our beautiful City. Wishing you health and happiness and safety always.

Amazing tour with a sweet and cool local tour guide. Highly recomended for solo travellers.
I had a great time with Faziela before going to visit Robben Island. She showed many interesting and peculiar things about Cape Town which only locals like her would know. Faziela is very kind, open-minded, and fun to hang around with. She took good care of me and made sure I had an awesome experience in Cape Town. I definately recomend booking a tour with her company if you are travelling alone.
Response from the operator: Hey Kevin, Takk så mye :) you were great company and I enjoyed learning the culture of the Norwegian people! well done to you leaving your comfort zone and exploring our beautiful country. Hope to see you again in the future! Loving your 5 stars :) Take care of yourself, have a safe flight back home.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Robben Island & Surprise stops tickets confirm by 8am next day.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Robben Island & Surprise stops tickets confirm by 8am next day. cost?
+
Prices start at $246 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 Robben Island & Surprise stops tickets confirm by 8am next day. 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 Robben Island & Surprise stops tickets confirm by 8am next day. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Robben Island & Surprise stops tickets confirm by 8am next day.?
+
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 Robben Island & Surprise stops tickets confirm by 8am next day. 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 Robben Island & Surprise stops tickets confirm by 8am next day.?
+
Around 3 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 Robben Island & Surprise stops tickets confirm by 8am next day. 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.
