The half-day Cape Town city tour will take you through some of the “must-see” places of the Mother City. Showcasing the history, architecture, it’s gardens, the seaside and mountains.<\/p>\n

It’s difficult to imagine that about 350 years ago, a large part of the city centre belonged to the sea, but Cape Town has never stopped expanding. The remarkable evidence of the Mother City’s illustrious past, is beautifully showcased by the Castle of Good Hope<\/strong><\/em>, as well as the statues of it’s emblematic characters – marking the history of the city. The tour will take you through the famous Bo-Kaap<\/strong><\/em> district known as the “Malay Quarter” with it’s colourful houses. This is one of the few areas bypassed in The Forced Removal Policies of the Apartheid era. It is a wonderful experience and can only make one smile because of it’s authenticity.<\/p>\n

The City Centre is also nicknamed the “City Bowl” because of the mountains surrounding it like a protective cocoon. Table Mountain,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0the 7th wonder of the modern world,\u00a0is probably the most emblematic of them all. While taking a leisurely stroll through The Company Gardens<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0located in the heart of the city, you’ll have a beautiful view of the mountain while being enchanted by the inquisitive squirrels that live and play year round in the gardens – be sure to keep an eye out for the elusive Albino squirrel. Always remember, that whatever your location in the city, you’ll always be able to orientate your bearings, thanks to Table Mountain.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, discover the splendid Blue Flag\u00a0beaches of Clifton & Camps Bay<\/strong><\/em>;\u00a0situated at the foot of the Twelve Apostles Mountain Range. Slow down, relax, and enjoy the Atlantic Ocean which is ideal for sunbathing & most water sports. You can also refresh yourself at one of the many bars or restaurants along the Camps Bay Promenade.<\/p>\n
