Private shore excursions for cruise ship passengers

Capescape prides itself in arranging top quality private shore excursions and tours in and around Cape Town.

Cape Town is an increasingly popular tourist destination - and that goes for cruise liners too. We have discovered that many tourists who visit Cape Town by cruise ship expect an exclusive and VIP type experience. For this reason we have over time developed tailor made itineraries to cater for this need. We have found that our clients do not expect to be piled into a coach - and that they frown upon the other inconveniences and frustrations that go hand in hand with corporate scheduled tours.

We offer various private shore excursions for travellers disembarking in beautiful Cape Town - and we aim to provide an experience that will most certainly convince our guests to return for more!

Our private Cape Town tours allow travellers to move at their own pace and focus on their specific interests. We generally cater for the more discerning traveller, and quality and luxury is a primary priority. This means that buses, queues and bad service are not permitted!

We carefully plan all excursions to avoid crowds and emphasize authentic local culture, including the most interesting attractions, neighbourhoods, markets, shops, restaurants, and performances - all with an aim to satisfy our guests personal preferences.

Some appetizing examples of what we do:

• Cape Peninsula experience (tour to Cape Point and visit to penguin colony and botanical gardens)
• Cape Winelands experience (this is a must for any traveller - for scenery and of course, South African wine & hospitality)
• African Safari (see the Big 5 close to Cape Town)
• Whale Watching (seasonal)
• Regional Tours (Overberg, West Coast)
• Table Mountain & City experience (Views to remember!)
• Culinary & Wine Tasting Experience Touring

For the slightly more active traveller, wishing to stretch their legs, we do offer Guided Mountain hikes of all grades - mostly in the Table Mountain Nature Reserve area.

Capescape also offer Overnight Mountain hikes (accommodation in luxury tented camps) - for those who want to spend a night or two on the mountain. This experience is a luxury one - we porter luggage and provide catering.

Why Capescape Private Tours?

• Touring managed by Joanna Jayne, owner of Capescape - an experienced luxury travel agent and expert on Table Mountain and the greater Cape Peninsula.
• Our only priority is to have more than 100% satisfied clients, who book with us for their next visit before they leave Cape Town.
• We aim to do exclusive and 'off the beaten track' activities - for example; we only visit busy tourist areas like big corporate wine estates if our clients insist. We prefer to expose our clients to wine farms where the owner is the winemaker and the owner's wife runs the tasting room. (And we are delighted to drive on roads so narrow that no bus can follow us!
• We are not corporate - we can adapt at speed - and we are able to do the sometimes impossible to delight our visitors
• We do offer a value for money experience, albeit a luxury one.

So, Put us to the test!
