One of the most spectacularly bio-diverse places on Earth, an estimated 1,500 unique species of plant-life are found on Table Mountain alone, many of which are endemic and found nowhere else on the planet. Ascend by cable car as the mist from the clouds open up to the main plateau while striking views of Cape Town come into crystal-clear focus. Now with a better understanding of the city’s layout, walk past Cape Town’s storied past as your guide recounts the colorful histories of the Houses of Parliament, the Castle of Good Hope (South Africa’s oldest building) and the well-tended Company Gardens. Bargain your way through the lively Greenmarket Square in search of souvenir while meeting local artisans along the way. As you enter another one of Cape Town’s famed stop at Bo-Kaap, learn how the Cape Malay community, with its cobbled streets and brightly colored houses became one of city’ most vibrant neighborhoods. There’s no better way of understanding local history than through your Capetonian guide. From here you have the choice of being dropped off at the V&A Waterfront to experience this landmark at your own pace, with its many shops, restaurants and pubs - or at your hotel to end the tour. Should you choose to visit the waterfront, please speak to your Destination Expert for a range of recommendations for lunch.

After a stop in the village, you will track along the extraordinary Chapman’s Peak Drive, known as one of the most picturesque roadways world-wide. With the flexibility to spend as little or as long as you would like in this region crammed with incredible panoramic lookouts, the benefits of having a private vehicle and guide truly come into play.

Featuring a mixture of traditional food, South African street food and visits to artisanal foodie and coffee shops, this walking tour includes samples of soul food staples including pap, samp and beans, stew and vetkoek, exotic flavors like a Muslim rose milkshake (called falooda), as well as bunny chow which is highly popular in South Africa's Indian communities. Coffee from a micro artisan coffee roaster is next on the menu, followed by bobotie pies - a modern take on the traditional bobotie dish which both the Cape Malay group and white Afrikaners refer to as the quintessential traditional Cape Town dish. Please note: as this is a walking tour and involves a variety of food and beverage tastings, please have only a light (or no) breakfast prior to the tour.

The V&A Waterfront is surely one of the top attractions in Cape Town no matter your age, interests or group dynamic.

Behind the aquarium, a small colony of Cape fur seals are almost always found on the docks, ready and waiting to pose for your camera.
