What's included in the EUR 204 price?

The price covers the 9-hour guided tour, hotel pickup/dropoff, and entrance fees to major sites. Wine tastings at Stellenbosch estates are typically included, though some operators may charge separately for premium pairings. Confirm with your supplier.

Is the penguin visit included, or is it extra?

The penguin colony visit is listed as optional, meaning you can add it during booking or on the day, but it's not automatically part of the standard tour. Confirm availability and any additional cost when reserving.

How much time do we spend at each location?

A typical itinerary allocates 2–3 hours for the Cape Peninsula and Cape Point, 3–4 hours for Stellenbosch wineries (including tastings and a town visit), and the remainder for travel and short stops at viewpoints. Your guide may adjust based on group interests.

Can I visit Stellenbosch or Cape Point separately if I only have a few hours?

Yes — this is a full-day combined tour. If you're short on time, book a peninsula-only or winery-only half-day tour instead. This Best of Cape Town option is designed for those with 9 hours available.

What's the difference between Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope?

Cape Point is the dramatic headland where two ocean currents meet; Cape of Good Hope is the larger promontory nearby. Both are on the same peninsula route, and visitors typically see both during the tour.

Is this tour suitable for seniors or people with mobility issues?

Some stops involve walking on uneven coastal terrain; contact the operator before booking if you have mobility concerns. Winery visits and town areas are generally accessible, but not all coastal viewpoints are wheelchair-friendly.

About this activity

Perfect for first-time visitors wanting to experience both natural wonders and cultural heritage without multiple bookings.

The definitive Cape Town tour, the Best of Cape Town encompasses all of the city’s top attractions and destinations.

Combine historical Stellenbosch and its wine region with a journey to the Cape of Good Hope & Cape Point. All of this and more can be enjoyed even if you are on a tight schedule.

The Stellenbosch winelands offers a majestic scenery that is entirely different to the Cape Peninsula. The Cape Winelands lie just 20 minutes outside of Cape Town, and this is where you will find some of the country’s top wine estates.

The full day Peninsula Tour will take you around the entire Cape peninsula and show you the wonders of Cape Town. From pristine beaches, to the spectacular sight of Cape Point. Also be sure not to miss the sensational quick visit to the Penguins (optional).

Insider tips

★Book the penguin visit in advance if interested — it's optional but sells out quickly, especially in summer (November–February).
★Bring layers: coastal winds and elevation changes at Cape Point make it cooler than the city, even on warm days.
★Wine tastings are usually included, but ask your guide which estates are on your route — preferences vary by tour operator.
★Start early to maximize daylight at Cape Point and avoid afternoon crowds at popular viewpoints.

our guide Dmitri had so many stories and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... Went last tuesday so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in lisbon last year, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
