Light Refreshments
A hot morning beverage or chilled sundowner in a secluded area on the summit of Table Mountain.
Panoramic views
The kind of breathtaking views that stretch in every direction.
Cultural insight
Uncover Cape Town's unique culture on a guided walking tour through the CBD.
Tailored exploration
Visit spaces and places tailored to your interests.

Your journey begins where Cape Town itself began, beneath the shadow of Table Mountain. With your skip-the-queue cableway ticket, you’ll rise smoothly above the city to its most iconic vantage point. At the summit, your guide will find a quiet spot for a warm drink served with light snacks and sweeping views of the ocean, the mountains, and the city.

If you join the morning tour, this serene start sets the tone for a day of discovery. After descending, you’ll explore Cape Town’s city centre on foot, weaving through layers of history, culture, and creativity. From the brightly painted façades of historical Bo-Kaap to the contemporary cafés and galleries of the inner city, your guide will reveal the stories that shaped this city. Each walk is tailored to your interests, allowing more time to browse local boutiques or delve into art and architecture.

For those on the afternoon tour, the sequence reverses. Begin by exploring Cape Town’s vibrant mix of old and new, where independent shops, spice-scented streets, and historic landmarks meet. As the afternoon softens into evening, you’ll ascend Table Mountain to watch the sun set behind the Atlantic Ocean, perfectly accompanied by an ice-cold sundowner of South Africa’s finest. 

Whether you start with sunrise or end with sunset, this half-day experience offers more than sights; it’s a conversation between mountain and metropolis, guided by a local who knows the mountain and the city like the back of their hand.
