About this experience
This tour combines one of man's finest creations (the vintage car of your choosing) with one of natures most amazing visual offerings; Chapman's Peak Drive.
Ever heard the saying "They don't make 'em like they used to!"? Well, when you take a seat in one of our vintage cars you'll really understand why. Beautiful chrome details, gorgeous lines, the smell of old leather and a purring motor will remind you of a different era, an era when cars were way cooler.
Then there's Chapman's Peak Drive; the most beautiful coastal road in Cape Town, and arguably, the world. The road runs along a winding cliff-side which offers spectacular views of the bay and ocean below. To help really soak in these views, we'll stop-off and enjoy some complimentary wine and dippers. We recommend taking this tour around the "Golden hour", that is, just before sunset when the lighting makes things look their best.
Still here? Well why haven't you booked yet?!
