Tailored to you
There's a reason Cape Town is called the most beautiful city in the world — and this tour shows you exactly why. As the afternoon sun begins its descent, you'll board the iconic open-top red bus and cruise through the city's most scenic streets with the wind in your hair and the golden light painting everything in warm tones. Your skip-the-line Table Mountain cable car ticket means you'll ride the revolving gondola to the summit without the queues, arriving just in time for the most spectacular sunset views in Africa. Watch the sun dip below the Atlantic horizon as the city lights begin to twinkle below you. Descend as the last light fades and continue your bus route through the illuminated V&A Waterfront and Sea Point promenade. This is Cape Town at its most romantic, most dramatic, and most unforgettable — perfect for couples, photographers, and anyone who wants to see the Mother City in her finest light.
