Fazilia picked us up punctually from our hotel. She showed us a few places on the way to the harbour and we grabbed a few photographs. She saw us through security going on the boat and left us to board. The tour itself is a must for any trip to Cape Town. A bus tour of the island was followed by a poignant trip to the prison with a guided tour by an ex prisoner. We saw Mandela’s cell and exercise yard before returning to the mainland. Fasilia was waiting for us and took us for cake coffee and more photos before dropping us at our hotel. She was the type of guide who goes the extra mile and seems to know everyone in Cape Town. I certainly recommend this trip and our wonderful guide Fasilia.

An excellent tour that I think anyone looking to get an understanding of the past in SA should go on. Faz is an extremely passionate and honest guide that gives an authentic tour of the city with insight that cannot be gained from a guide book. Robben island itself is coordinated well with an exprisoner giving his story on the past and a young tour guide giving his thoughts also on the future. Hugely recommended.

Our guide Fazz was fantastic, full of interesting bits of information, anecdotes and general all round fun. She took us to see many key sites in Cape Town as well as sorting out our Robben Island tickets. We had forgotten our IDs but her connections soon got round this problem. Finally she took lots of photos of us and what sapped them to us which was really helpful. We highly recommend her.

This tour was very eye-opening and educational and I recommend anyone in Cape Town to book it. Fazz and her team were awesome and were able to schedule a tour time for us after the ferry operator cancelled on us twice and when we spoke with the ferry operator directly, they told us there’s no way we’d get rescheduled. However, Fazz and her team worked their magic and got us tickets during our limited time here! She also taught us a lot during our time with her!
