    Impeccable service and reasonable prices

    We did a Full Day Cape Peninsula tour with Keith Slamat in March and enjoyed every minute of it. We were picked up at our accommodation. Keith arrived in advance and was waiting for us to come down. The car was clean and comfortable. He’s got a careful, safe driving style. What we really appreciated was the well-thought-through route and that we felt free to stop where we liked. After Camps Bay, we headed to Hout Bay, where we spotted dolphins and took fantastic pictures. We also visited an ostrich farm on the way to the peninsula. When we entered the park, we first went to Cape Point and spent there about an hour. From Cape Point, we decided to take a trail to the Diaz Beach and Cape of Good Hope which took about another hour. When we reached the most south-western point of the continent, Keith’d already been there with the car, waiting for us at the parking lot nearby. The way back was via Simon’s Town where we stopped for lunch and visited the penguins. All the park fees were included in the price, so we didn’t have to worry about anything. All in all, it was a very relaxed experience. Definitely recommend it. Thank you, Keith and Citi Shuttles!

    The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope Full Day Tour in Cape Town: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope Full Day Tour in Cape Town cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 1,557 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 The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope Full Day Tour in Cape Town take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope Full Day Tour in Cape Town worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope Full Day Tour in 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 The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope Full Day Tour in Cape Town suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope Full Day Tour in Cape Town?

    +

    Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope Full Day Tour in 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.
