Cape Town Private Tours

Cape Town Tours and Experiences Hosted by Local Experts

Nicknamed "Mother City," Cape Town is the de facto heart of South Africa.
Cape Town is a port city cradled in the bay below South Africa's scenic Table Mountain. It has a colorful past with many different incarnations—from ancient indigenous Khoisan settlement to Dutch colony to slave trading hub to multicultural modern democratic state. Off the coast of Cape Town is Robben Island, the former penitentiary where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years. Cape Town is celebrated today for its panoramic views, multicultural energy, and extensive food and wine scenes. Experience Cape Town private tours with Context Travel.
