A Wonderful Day in Cape Town
An absolutely joyful day from start to finish. The knowledge and warmth of Remi and Kuda is wonderful. Due to the weather Table Mountain was not possible, so Remi arranged to take us the next day which was fantastic. If you want to tour Cape Town, these guys are a must. We will certainly use them on our return
Response from the operator: We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed this tour. Our guides are passionate about what they do. Sadly, the weather is indeed beyond our control, however we will always go an extra mile for our clients. Glad Remi and Kuda served this purpose. We look forward to welcome you back on another tour again.

Incredibly informative, warm, comprehensive & a delight!
Remi & Kuda are an incredible team! Remi alone is an absolute wealth of information! He was able to provide us with such crucial information while on the drive, and also at every stop. And we definitely got wayyyy more than we paid for because he included stops at a Zimbabwe sculptural market - absolutely stunning - where I was able to get a stunning green serpentine piece of art for a fraction I would pay in Canada. I want to find a way to continue supporting these artists. If you want bang for your buck + more and an brilliant, compassionate team, then book with Remi and Kuda. I will definitely rebook when I’m back in Cape Town.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Table Mountain Cape Of Good Hope & Penguins Tour Shared Full Day: 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 Tour Shared Full Day cost?
+
Prices start at R 800 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 Tour Shared Full Day 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 Tour Shared Full Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Tour Shared Full 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 Table Mountain Cape Of Good Hope & Penguins Tour Shared Full Day 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 Tour Shared Full Day?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Table Mountain Cape Of Good Hope & Penguins Tour Shared Full 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.
