Peninsula Overview Tour (8am-6:30pm)
Seeing the best of Cape Town in one day is almost an impossible task. The city and surrounds have so much to offer that you would need at least a week for the highlights only. However, the LocalPlaces – IkapaPlaces all day Cape Town Peninsula Overview Tour is a brave attempt to present the best of the Peninsula – the area immediate surrounding the Table Mountain range. This round trip involves spectacular views, astonishing places, and mesmerizing storytelling. Just enough to make you understand the greater layout and story of Cape Town, while also seeing its most famous places.
Note that this tour can include EITHER a visit to the Cape Point Nature Reserve (part of the National Park) OR the cableway to the top of Table Mountain but not both, due to time constraints. A stop at the Penguins at Boulders Beach can be worked in by customizing the route and excluding other stops.
