We did all 3 loops, the Groot Constantia vineyard is excellent and you are taken right to it. You get to see so much from the top deck and it is a cheap and efficient way to get around such a beautiful place.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 1,792 reviews · 4 hours · from $79

Skip the ticket line for Robben Island, then join an ex-inmate guide for a moving prison visit and Mandela’s cell tour from Cape Town.

“It was a nice trip to the island; we saw a whale on the way (there are also animals on the island itself like a little tortoise/turtle and birds)! Take a coat for the boat if sitting outside as it can get chilly with the wind (November). At the island itself just go to one of the buses and you’ll be given a tour of the island and its facilities first, before going inside the prison. We had two guides, one in the bus and one in the prison. They both had a great knowledge of history, the island itself and made us laugh too. Truly exceptional. I thoroughly enjoyed…”
