Cape Town is home to various stretches of natural beauty, hidden nooks of wonder and epic landmarks, all of which bring a unique flavor to our world-renowned city – and the glistening Atlantic Seaboard is one such region. Often referred to as Cape Town’s “Riviera”, it encompasses the area starting at the V&A Waterfront and travelling all along the Cape Peninsula to Hout Bay. In this helicopter tour of Cape Town, follow Victoria Road as it takes you along the picturesque coastline, the sparkling Atlantic Ocean on the one side, with the changing mountainous slopes for which Cape Town has become so famous on the other. If cycling, driving or walking this stretch is sure to take your breath away, just imagine what it will be like to witness this splendor from the sky?

We spent a few days in Cape Town, however we would have missed so much if we didnt do this tour. Our guide not only took us to interesting places but he knew so much about each place and you could tell he really has a passion for Cape Town, its history and its people. Table Mountain was a big tick off the bucket list and our guide knew the perfect time for us to go in order to avoid the crazy long lines we had heard of. The best view of Cape Down is from way up in the clouds and we loved every part of the day !

Given the current COVID-19 concerns, a private tour was just what my partner and I needed. We had an absolutely amazing time with our tour guide Armando! He was incredibly knowledgable about the sites we visited on our tour as well as entertaining, making for an all around great day touring the cape. Our pick up was timely as well. Armando also allowed for reasonable breaks in between tour sites so we can really enjoy the spots we visited. Anyone interested in a comfortable and fun tour should certainly book with these guys they are great!

Tour guide Ismail Esau was very knowledgeable about local and South African history in general. We visited the Stellenbosch Museum & we’re guided through the 4 Historical residences depicting early settlement life. In Franschhoek we visited the Huguenot Monument as well as Botchendal. The history of the French settlers were explained in detail as well as the continued traditions kept alive up till today. His van well maintained and very clean. Himself very talkative as tour guide supposed to be, in particular about rugby. Well, being from New Zealand myself didn't came as a surprise.
