Our trip to Robben Island was cancelled but we only received a partial refund. Our guide Morne picked us up at 8am, drove us to the dock where we discovered the trip to Robben Island was cancelled - refunded £52.27 out of total of £332.72. Morne then drove us around Cape Town for 60 minutes before taking us to the District Six Museum - we had to pay the entrance fee. Our trip included entrance fees to all attractions but no refund received for these. Our full day excursion was completed by 11am....very disappointing day.

Great tour of Robben Island with Ntando Mbatah, former political prisoner of the island. He shared his story of his emprisonnent of 7 years. The guide for the tour of the island was delightful and funny! Our tour guide of the city and table mountain was very knowledgeable and forthcoming with details about the city and the politics of Sourh Africa. A great day!

We had an absolutely amazing time with our tour guide, Wilson! His extensive knowledge and ability to share captivating insights into the history of each site we visited truly made the entire tour outstanding. Wilson's passion for the subject matter was infectious, and his skillful storytelling kept us engaged throughout. His friendly and approachable nature created an atmosphere where we felt comfortable asking questions and engaging in discussions. Thanks to Wilson, this tour turned into an unforgettable journey into the past, leaving all of us enlightened and incredibly inspired.
