About this experience
Experience the scenic tour of one of the most beautiful places in the world if not the most beautiful with a born and bred Capetonian.
From the iconic Table Mountain, to the spectacular views of Cape of Good Hope, to the cute wild life of Boulders Beach, to more spectacular views at Chapmans Peak you will be stunned at the incredible beauty that the mother city offers.
Do this all in the comfort and luxury of an Audi A5 Sportsback 2022 model for an intimate and exclusive private tour that is customised to your personal preferences.
I have included the main stops of the tour in the itinerary but we don’t have to visit all of them and there are other great stops that can be included like Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, and Camps Bay.
This tour is for the adventure seekers who want to experience the beauty of Cape Town in an intimate, personalised setting instead of boring, inflexible groups!
