I would encourage anyone visiting Cape Town to book this tour with Africa Xplora! I learned a lot from the visit to Robben Island, and was moved by the story of our guide there. Our trip to Table Mountain was amazing. Our tour guide Quentin went the extra mile to make sure that my friends and I had an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company.
