I can not thank the team enough for the amazing day out touring the Cape of Good Hope.
My tour guide for the day was exceptional. Friendly, funny, informative, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. It was a brilliant day from start to finish and I really can't thank the team enough for allowing me on this brilliant tour.
We ticked of so much, Chapmans Peak (Stunning coastal road), Houts Bay, Boulder Beach, Bo-Kaap, Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope. PLUS, many more added little stops on the way around which was a total added bonus. If you are staying in Cape Town and want to explore the Cape a little further then make sure you book this tour.
I would certainly recommend and book again next time I am in Cape Town.

Very good experience during this trip. Got a chance to see a lot and is a great tour to familiarize yourself with how all the bays and beaches are laid out along the coast. Alain was a great tour guide and had a lot of knowledge to compliment the tour. Would definitely book with him again. Thank you!!!

Excellent tour that takes you to the major tourist spots out of reach of the city center. The alternative I considered was taking City Sightseeing’s similar tour, but I’m so happy I went with Cape Archives Tours instead. Having a small group allowed us to adjust the schedule a bit to suit us best. Alain was fantastic! He pointed everything out as we passed by, was super patient and accommodating, and must have taken dozens of pictures for us everywhere. He also scheduled for making a stop at Muizenberg even though it wasn’t part of the itinerary, which I very much appreciated. Thank you so much Alain!

Hello, we have already purchased tickets for 2 people on Wednesday Sept. 22. Two questions: 1. We would like to add a third person who will be travelling with us, is this possible? 2. On our original reservation we had specified a hotel where we were staying, that was changed by our tour company. We will now be at the Radisson Red. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Is this pricing for a group or individual

It's per person, and then there are entrance fees on top which you will need to pay cash for

Hello,
We really like to be part of this tour and have two questions as we could make this tour on our last day in Capetown. Is it possible to store our backbags in the vehicle and can we get a drop off at the airport in the end?
Thank you so much!

Do we need to enter (and pay) for the Cape Point Nature Reserve to reach the Cape of Hope and Light house?

I misread your question. Yes, there is a charge to enter the Cape of Good Hope area and another to take cable car to the lighthouse, unless you walk.

Hello. I'm confused on if this is private or small group. The 1st sentence says "Join us on a sightseeing trip to the most south westerly point of Africa in a small group" and the last sentence at the bottom says this is private and only your group will participate. Which is it?

Hi there,
I will be in Clifton on March 2nd, the day I would like to do the tour. Can I be picked up there if I provide you a specific address or if you tell me where in Clifton is more convenient since I know it’s in the way to Camp’s Bay. I will skip the first stop in Cape Town. Thanks in advance for your magic. 🙏🏻🌟

The tour we went on arranged a place for lunch... at our cost but a great spot. Food was fabulous, which is expected considering that they arrange it in advance. We went for the lunch just after the penguin viewing... no need for a packed lunch...Cheers!
