    Excellent comprehensive excursion.

    A comprehensive excursion to see much of Cape Town highlights in one and only tour. Also a great value for money, for such an inclusive tour: Cape Town, the penguins, Cape of Good Hope, ostriches farm, etc. Best Tripadvisor tour for what it offers. Our driver Zamora was always there to help and explain, kowledgeable, eager to discuss, patient, and kind. The tour exceeded our expectations. We recommend it without any second thought.

    DON'T TRUST THEM. THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

    Sighting tours has a scam going on. I'm surprised that they have not been black listed by Viator or Tripadvisor. DO NOT BOOK with them. They will send you a confirmation then cancel your tour the night before. They'll say "it was cancelled by mistake and to just pay the following day to the tour guide." Since it's so last minute, you have very little choice. They will also say they will give you a discount because you're not going through Tripadvisor. Before your tour, they will charge you a full price, even if one attraction is closed due to high winds and they will not be taking you there. We had used a discount code for the online reservation and a trip cash tripadvisor gives you for our initial cancelled reservation. The price we paid to tripadvisor was half of what we ended up paying to the last minute tour guide! This is how they get their full cost money!! It is a money making scheme. Don't fall into it as we did.

    We only spent 30 minutes...

    We only spent 30 minutes on Table Mountain. The kids would have love to spend more time. Next time I will just book the tickets independently and spend more time on table mountain.

    A must do

    10/10 highly recommend! Samora was prompt for pickup and the whole trip was very efficient. We saw exactly what we wanted and then some! We had plenty of opportunities for photos and got to check off these places off our list. Queues were surprisingly short for our whole trip and worked out beautifully. It was such a pleasure, book this tour now!!

    Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 1,050 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 Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 39 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 Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing 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 Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour?

    +

    Around 14 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing 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 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 is included in Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour?

    +

    Included: Air-conditioned Vehicle/bus; Hotel pickup and drop off; Tourist Guide; and Bottle of water. Not included: Entrance fees; Entrance fees; and Table Mountain Cable car tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 320 listed pickup locations in and around Cape Town. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Sightseeing tour if the weather is bad?

    +
