Overview

This half-day bus tour in Cape Town includes a city drive past major landmarks like the Castle of Good Hope, City Hall, the Grand Parade, St. George’s Cathedral, the Company Gardens, and the Bo-Kaap neighborhood. The guide points out the history and significance of each site as the tour follows Adderley Street, the city’s main road. The Bo-Kaap, known as the Malay Quarter, lies along the slopes of Table Mountain and reflects the heritage of Cape Town’s Cape Malay community. The tour also stops at The Diamond Works, where visitors spend about 20 minutes watching diamond cutting and jewelry making by expert craftsmen and learn about South Africa’s diamond and gold trade. Guests have the option to continue to Table Mountain, weather permitting, and take the revolving cable car to the top. From there, clear views can include Robben Island on one side and Cape Point on the other. Cable car tickets are not included and should be purchased in advance to avoid long lines. Hotel pickup and drop-off are provided from Cape Town city center hotels. The Castle of Good Hope visit depends on timing during the tour. Food and drinks are not included.
