3 day Cape Town Experience (Accessible)

City, Kirstenbosch & Constantia (Classic)

Experience Cape Town at a gentle pace, savouring its scenery, stories and celebrated landmarks. The iconic slopes of Table Mountain, the tranquil beauty of Kirstenbosch and the historic Constantia Winelands combine to create an elegant introduction to the Mother City. Think of this itinerary as a beautifully drawn outline – we’ll refine the details around your interests, timing and energy on the day.

Begin with a visit to Table Mountain, or to Signal Hill should the weather be less forgiving, and take in sweeping views over the city, harbour and Atlantic coastline.

Continue into the historic heart of Cape Town as your guide shares the city’s layered story, with the option to visit a museum for a more in-depth look at its past.

Enjoy a leisurely walk through the Company’s Garden, the city’s original vegetable garden, now a leafy oasis where pigeons, geese and squirrels go about their day.

Visit the vibrant Bo-Kaap, the Cape Malay Quarter, with its cobbled streets, brightly painted houses and enduring cultural heritage.

Stroll through the magnificent Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, pausing at highlights such as the Boomslang Tree Canopy Walk and the Conservatory. Enjoy a light lunch (own account) at the popular tea room showcasing local flavours, or save your appetite for a relaxed meal among the vines in Constantia.

Discover the Constantia Winelands, visiting one or two handpicked estates in this historic valley. You may wish to explore the cellars and heritage of Groot Constantia, South Africa’s oldest wine estate, or sample fine wines and views at one of the more contemporary properties, such as Steenberg or Beau Constantia.

As the day winds down, we may return via the scenic coastal road along Victoria Road through Camps Bay. With luck and good timing, you will be treated to a classic Cape Town sunset – a fitting finale to a refined and memorable day in the Mother City.

Cape Winelands (Classic)

This full-day tour showcases the gentle charm and sweeping beauty of the Cape Winelands. Think rolling vineyards, historic estates, storybook towns and a generous sprinkling of fine wine. We generally explore the Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch wine routes, but if you’d like to spend more than one day in the Winelands, we can happily extend into neighbouring valleys for a deeper, more leisurely experience.

Begin with an introduction to our wines, as you learn what makes South Africa’s wine culture so distinctive. From easy-drinking whites to full-bodied reds, sweet wines to Cap Classique (our local take on Champagne), we’ll curate a selection of memorable tastings to suit your palate and preferences, so you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy.

Spend time strolling through some of the Winelands’ most romantic towns and villages, browsing market streets, art galleries, vintage car collections and magnificent gardens. Admire the grand gables and elegant lines of Cape Dutch architecture that lend the region its iconic character.

Along the way, hear stories from centuries of history, and, if you wish, visit the prison gates where Nelson Mandela took his first symbolic steps toward freedom. For those keen to broaden their tasting experience, there may also be the opportunity to sample fine brandy, craft beer, grappa, olive oils, artisan chocolates and even a little biltong.

For those travelling with children, several estates offer child-friendly grape juice and chocolate tastings, along with a variety of engaging activities to keep the little ones entertained while you savour each sip.

Cape Peninsula (Classic)

Savour a full day on the Cape Peninsula, taking in its dramatic coastline, sweeping ocean views and remarkable biodiversity at a relaxed, unhurried pace. This is a timeless exploration of one of the world’s most beautiful stretches of coastline.

We also include a leisurely lunch stop tailored to your preferences, with several carefully chosen venues offering fabulous ocean views (lunch for own account) – the ideal moment to pause, soak it all in and enjoy fresh local flavours.

> Follow the Atlantic Seaboard on a leisurely scenic drive past Clifton and Camps Bay, where pristine beaches meet the deep blue Atlantic and the Twelve Apostles mountain range rises steeply behind.

> Continue along the iconic Chapman’s Peak Drive, with plenty of stops for memorable photographs, before entering the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Keep watch for small antelope, eland, Cape mountain zebra, abundant birdlife and the ever-mischievous Chacma baboons.

> At Cape Point, either ride the funicular (included) or take the gently graded footpath – around 12 minutes – up to the historic lighthouse, where expansive views unfold over False Bay, the Cape of Good Hope and the Atlantic Ocean.

> Visit Boulders Beach, home to the indigenous and critically endangered African penguin, and enjoy time to observe these charming birds in their natural habitat.

> Return to Cape Town via the naval town of Simon’s Town, then either cross the Ou Kaapse Weg mountain pass or follow the coastal road through Kalk Bay, with time for a stroll through this characterful, bohemian fishing village.
