Disappointed with half day Cape Town Guided tour- it was billed as including Table Mountain but knowing what we know now about this time of year ( late Dec. 2022), there was no way it could be done on a half day tour Table Mountain should not be part of a half day city tour (if you want to see anything else in the city as part of the tour; poor itinerary choice by Thompsons). We wasted over an hour driving up there in a long line, waiting in line and then told by guide that wait would be 90 minutes just to get up there and same coming down which would have been most if not all of the tour time. Also, the guide (Claudia) gave the group "the choice" to stay have all of us stay (some had done the tour and we had not). It would have made no sense for the group to stay since some would have wasted their time in line for something they had already seen and we would have missed the rest of the city sights. Luckily we did not stay and our family had extra days in CT to see Table Mt. Guide was also disorganized, mostly did drive by of sights and did not cover several areas (such as the District Six) that another guide took us to another day. Would not recommend her in particular as a guide.
