Advantages: Great tour, Nice Facility
Disadvantages: Incredibly Overpriced (200-400% in some cases)

Sorry for the negative rate, but this review doesn't tell me anything that I would need to know... where is it? how do I get there? if the tour is good, what is good about it? I appreciate that this is a first review and maybe Ciao reviews are different to some other websites, but anyone reviewing is advised to read around the site before contributing. Lx by hiker

Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope on the Cape Peninsula are about two hours south west of Cape Town, South Africa. The best way to access this area in my opinion is by private transport for flexibility, but you can also pick one of the many organised t ... Read review
