This tour is a great platform to learn about the best Cape Town has to offer. It combines two of the most popular tours in Cape Town. The World Heritage site - Robben Island and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature Table Mountain.

The rich history especially at Robben Island clearly explores the ills and the harsh realities of the government of apartheid. Travelers learn first hand information from ex-prisoners and ex prison warders who where at the prison museum during the time of Nelson Mandela.

This tour also takes travelers through Bo-Kaap, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cape Town. Here there is rich history of the coming of the Malay communities who settled here after 1652. The culture, customs and current aspiration of locals are mirrored in this place.
