I honestly didn't know what to expect when I booked a tour with Cape Town Travel and Tours, but, wow, did they deliver! From the get-go, the team was super responsive. They helped me tailor a trip that fit my wild dream of seeing Cape Town in all its glory — and on my budget, too!
Our guide, Thandi, was a gem. She knew the city like the back of her hand and had stories that you'd never find in a guidebook. We explored the usual hotspots — Table Mountain took my breath away, and the penguins at Boulders Beach were too cute for words — but it was the unexpected moments that really made my trip. Sipping rooibos tea in a little café in Bo-Kaap, catching the sunset at Signal Hill, and even learning a few phrases in Xhosa.
The customer service was top-notch. They were always one step ahead, ensuring everything ran smoothly, and the private tours felt so indulgent without breaking the bank. I've been home for weeks now, and I still find myself daydreaming about the Cape Town sunsets. Thanks to Cape Town Travel and Tours, I've not just seen Cape Town; I've felt it, and I've lived it. Can't wait to go back!

Oh, Cape Town Travel and Tours, you folks are the real MVPs of travel! As a girl from the USA stepping into Cape Town, I didn't quite know what was in store, but y'all made every moment sparkle.
From the second I reached out, I felt like I was chatting with old friends who just wanted to make sure I had the time of my life. And did I ever! The personal touches were everywhere. We zigzagged from the lush gardens of Kirstenbosch to the bustling V&A Waterfront, each spot with its own story, thanks to our guide's endless knowledge (and patience for my million questions!).
And let's talk about those little surprises – a spontaneous detour to a market here, a secret viewpoint there – it's like you read my mind for all the things I love. Your team's recommendations were spot-on, and those personal insights? Priceless!
Back home in the States, my family and friends are probably tired of hearing me rave about my trip, but I can't help it. You've turned me into a walking, talking Cape Town billboard! I'm already plotting my return, and there's no question who I'll call to guide me through the magic of Cape Town again. You guys are the best!
