The Cape Peninsula - Cape Town "the Mother City"

Around 240 million years ago, before Mount Everest existed, the magnificent Table Mountain rose from the sea. A breath-taking sandstone natural structure set upon a granite base, the mountain looks down upon captivating Cape Town, the capital of the Western Cape.

It is a city steeped in history; the noon gun still fires at midday as it has since 1806 down the path in Signal Hill. Cape Town is a cultural melting pot. It is buzzing with relaxed hospitality in its many restaurants and superb accommodation, culminating in the Cape’s most famous manufactured landmark, the V&A Waterfront.

Nestled neatly behind the buzz of the Waterfront is the Two Oceans Aquarium. Strong advocates for ocean conservation, the aquarium offers close encounters with sharks.

Also, under Signal Hill’s gaze and the Waterfront’s neighbouring suburb is Bo-Kaap. It was previously home to slaves brought from surrounding African locations, Malaysia and Indonesia. Bo-Kaap’s history does not dull its colour and taste. The suburb is famous for its sumptuous Cape Malay meals that you cannot find anywhere else.

On the other side of the city centre, a short drive down Strand Street stands the expansive Castle of Good Hope. Originally built as a fortress for the Dutch East India Trading Company in the 17^th Century, the Castle now houses the Castle Military Museum. It overlooks District Six, once a vibrant and diverse community making it a target for the horrors of Apartheid. The moving District Six Museum provides a revealing look at The Mother City’s past.

Luckily, a refreshing escape is always at hand in Cape Town, and Chapman’s Peak Drive is a great option. It is held as one of the world’s most scenic drives, taking you through the sea-soaked views of Hout Bay, the vibrant community of Noordhoek and the rugged landscape of the Cape Point Nature Reserve. A bit further south in Simon’s Town, you will find Boulders Beach, home to the Cape’s colony of African penguins.

You could embrace the rich cultural draw points, relax on one of The Mother City’s numerous beaches or take a short two and a half-hour drive out to see the Big Five. Whatever your preference, Cape Town is a travel must-see to put on your bucket list.

Lance is an excellent guide that was knowledgeable, accommodating, fun, and ensured our safety for the duration of our time in Cape Town. I highly recommend going with Lance if you need a guide for Cape Town and the surrounding area.

My mom and I did a month long trip to South Africa this January. Our first stop was Cape Town. Lance picked us up from the airport, took us to our hotel, waited for us to unpack, and then showed us the waterfront. I asked about the tap water and he said it was fine to drink, but the next day he came to pick us up he brought me a 5 liter bottle of water since he knew I was worried about the tap water. He went above in so many ways on the several days he was our guide. Everyday there was water and snacks in the car for us. He knew lots of interesting spots and great places to eat. He even gave us lots of suggestions and advice when we left Cape Town and went on the garden route. I would highly recommend Lance. He never hesitated to go out of his way to make our trip stress free and enjoyable. He was aware of our surroundings and always alert for any possible safety concerns.

Lance aka Cape Travel Guy made our first trip to Cape Town really fun. In spite of some tough winter weather, Lance made our trip easy and memorable. We hit nearly all the beautiful Cape Town hot spots but never felt rushed. Lance was always timely and accommodating and we had lots of laughs. I would highly recommend using Lance to help you with planning your next trip to Cape Town.

What a day and a half with Lance. We had a short time in Cape Town and he customized an amazing day and a half tour for us. If you did not know, Lance is a travel security officer so you are in great hands with him. He stars in major movies and is a really fun guy. He went out of his way to show us a great time. Lance provided a great review of South Africa politics and the current state of affairs. Lance hired Sheldon, an expert to give us a tour of the Moslem area of town. You can’t beat that! What an incredible time with the Cape Town guy!

Had an absolutely wonderful day out in the Stellenbosch wineries with Lance. What a knowledgeable, humorous and affable guy. Will definitely link up with him again next time we’re back, and would highly recommend anyone traveling to Cape Town to do the same. He’s highly professional and makes you feel comfortable and safe at all times, and has some very entertaining and interesting stories. You’re guaranteed a great day out with this legend!

We had an excellent experience driving with Lance to and from the airport. As two ladies with a child, traveling to and from Cape Town International is very scary, but with Lance we immediately knew we were safe. Can highly recommend his services.

We spent several days in Cape Town with Lance from Cape Travel Guy as our private guide and private driver, and it was one of the highlights of our entire South Africa trip. Lance is a native Cape Town resident and his knowledge of the city, its history, neighborhoods, and surrounding areas is exceptional. Whether we were visiting Table Mountain, exploring the Cape Peninsula, driving along the coast around the Cape, or heading out to Boulders Beach and Stellenbosch, he always had interesting context and local insights that made every stop more meaningful. Just as importantly, he made our whole family feel very safe and well looked after the entire time. Lance is clearly very professional and security-conscious, which gave us real peace of mind while navigating a large city we didn’t know well. What really sets Lance apart, though, is how helpful and engaged he is throughout the day. He doesn’t just drop you off and wait in the car. He walked around with us while we explored and shopped, helped us find starting points for tours, and even spoke with locals on our behalf to help arrange things. Having a knowledgeable local advocate like that made everything easier and much more enjoyable. On top of all that, Lance is simply a great person to spend time with. He’s engaging, flexible with plans, and full of interesting conversation. Spending long days touring with him never felt like being “on a tour” — it felt more like exploring Cape Town with a knowledgeable local friend. It’s rare to find someone who combines deep local knowledge, professionalism, flexibility, strong awareness of safety, and an easy-going personality that makes the experience fun. Lance manages to bring all of those qualities together effortlessly. If you’re visiting Cape Town and looking for a private guide or private driver, I highly recommend Lance and Cape Travel Guy.

We had a fantastic time spending several days touring with him and will absolutely look him up again the next time we return to Cape Town. We did the Cape Peninsula tour with Lance and had a fantastic experience. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side, Lance made sure we were still able to see everything and truly enjoy the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole tour very enjoyable. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town.
