We had a really great tour with our guide & driver Wellington, who was full of interesting information about the sights on our way, and made sure that we managed to see everything even though the schedule is a bit tight on this half day tour. The Cape Peninsula & the adorable penguins are definitely a must-see for anyone coming to Cape Town, and this tour was a great way to see them - if you have time, a full-day tour would probably be even better!

We really enjoyed this half-day tour. Very well organised. No fuss. Good way to visit Cape Peninsula without doing your own driving. The guide/driver was informative.

Wish I coul dgive this comnay a rating of zero. Lost 40 minutes at the final hotel pickup point in the morning while the driver/guide argued with two parking inspectors. The debacle was only resolved after the intervention of two police officers. The site descriptions were incoherent and often involved religious metaphors. The driver informed guests a couple of times he was feeling ill. The instructions at different sites regarding meeting places and times were unclear and confusing. The mini-van was jam packed, hot, stuffy and uncomfortable. Despite a sense that we were being rushed everywhere, we got back to Cape Town three hours later than the advertised schedule time and subsequently missed planned visits to other sites. A problem exacerbated by the return driver agreeing to other returning guests requests to drop them to other tourist sites rather than their designated hotel destinations. Pulling the bus over on the side of the road to pay the outbound driver/guide directly for the tour and pay him for entry to sites like the Penguins at Boulder beach made us feel uncomfortable - especially when the driver openly stated that he'd be keeping the change as "part of his tip". Consider using ANY day trip company other than African Eagle. A dreadful experience.

Did a private half-day Cape Peninsula tour and picked up right on time at the hotel. Our driver, Reginald, was really knowledgeable and gave us lots of information as we were driving throughout the day. We went to Cape Point well before the tour buses and was really quiet so great to take pictures, look around etc. Boulders Beach and the penguins was our second stop and we never felt rushed at all spending around 40 minutes there. Finally we came back through Chapmans Peak Drive and had a number of stops for photos and views at Noordhoek Beach & Hout Bay and we never felt rushed at all. We arrived back at the hotel 30 minutes after our drop off time but no complaints from the driver or mention of being late. Really enjoyed the private tour and would recommend ... ask for Reginald !

Unclear how AE manages their staff but there are some tour guides that should not be drivers. Our driver/guide, was surly at best, filled of complaints about other drivers on the road while driving erratically. My travel agent had warned that the tour itself might feel rushed, but I was hopeful. Now, I think I would’ve had a better experience on a hop on hop off bus for the ‘limited’ time (10-15 min) we had at each location. As an example, I only had a 15-min window to walk down to the pier to check out the Penguins, and I never made it to the lighthouse. There were five other patrons and for whatever reason their entry fees were not pre-paid so the driver ended up waiting in the queue, and was very upset about it. The redeeming moment — when our driver handed us off to another driver, Abdul, who so kindly brought us to the ocean to dip our feet.
