Tour program

Day 1

ARRIVAL CAPE TOWN

Arrive at Cape Town International Airport. There will be a driver waiting for you in the arrival hall, holding a sign with your name, who will drive you to your hotel and assist with the check-in procedures. Spend the rest of the day at leisure, enjoying the hotel amenities. Perhaps visit the city center with its many historical buildings and different architectural style and maybe enjoy a trip with the cable car to the top of Table Mountain. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is also worth a visit. Here you will find numerous bars, restaurants, boutiques and shops, cinemas and the aquarium. Outside the amphitheater, there is regular live entertainment for you to enjoy. (Activities are recommendations only, not included) After you explored the city on your own, return to the hotel to rest and prepare for a new day in this charming city. Overnight in Cape Town.

Start point

Cape Town International Airport (CPT), Airport Approach Rd, Matroosfontein, Western Cape 7525, South Africa

00:00 - 23:55

Day 2

CAPE TOWN

Have a delicious breakfast at the hotel, followed by a leisurely walk to discover Cape Town’s City Bowl and admire its beautifully maintained neoclassical and Art Deco buildings. Continue visiting the Castle of Good Hope, Cape Town’s first building. The Dutch East Company, known as the VOC, built the castle, but you can observe the Dutch, British and French influence in its architectural style. Catch sight of the impressive bell tower, whose bell once warned citizens of danger, and observe how the expressive Cape Dutch architecture changes the rather strict and imposing style of the rest of the structure. Afterwards, go to Grand Parade, Cape Town’s main square, and marvel at the City Hall, a distinctive Edwardian building erected in 1905. This is also a place soaked in history since Nelson Mandela held his first speech about freedom from the town hall’s balcony. Continue your journey with a visit to the Company’s Garden. Though now it is known for its massive oak trees, this used to be the vegetable garden for the VOC. Walk past the Parliament and Tuinhuis and proceed to Bo-Kaap, the city´s Cape Malay Quarters. Here you will find Cape Dutch and Edwardian-style architectural masterpieces, both colourful and unique. Before heading back to your hotel, indulge in a light lunch that includes samosas and samies, and buy delicious spices from a local vendor. Light lunch is included. The rest of the day spend at leisure. Overnight in Cape Town.

Day 3

CAPE TOWN

Begin your day with breakfast at the hotel. Afterwards, if you are wondering how people build houses out of cardboard and tin, you can see for yourself during a visit to Langa, one of the oldest townships surrounding Cape Town. We change direction afterwards and head towards the Southern Suburbs, one of Cape Town’s most affluent neighbourhoods featuring beautiful architecture. Furthermore, Cape Town’s University UCT Campus is extensive, and its architecture is impressive, with a mountainous backdrop to match. Also see Rhodes Memorial, one of architect Herbert Baker’s creations, and enjoy the sweeping views over Cape Town. Baker left another landmark, Groote Schuur, the place where Mandela and F. W. de Klerk signed the first documents to liberate South Africa from apartheid. Further south, find Groot Constantia, South Africa’s oldest wine estate and a magnificent example of Cape Dutch architecture. A formal wine tasting is a perfect way to end a remarkable day. Afterwards, return to your hotel. Overnight in Cape Town.

Day 4

CAPE TOWN – STELLENBOSCH – CAPE TOWN (100km – 1 hr)

Indulge in a delicious breakfast at your hotel before heading towards the epicentre of Cape Dutch architecture and South Africa’s second oldest city, Stellenbosch. Walk along Dorpstraat and admire the interesting buildings steeped in history! Then visit Rustenburg and Boschendal, located just outside Stellenbosch. See Rustenburg’s remarkable Cape Dutch buildings dating back to 1700, the beautiful garden and the fantastic tasting room during a refreshing wine-tasting session. Step back in time while visiting Boschendal’s Manor House with its famous gable, the date in the relief reading 1812. Get closer to the baroque and neoclassical traditions represented by the front gable, with its wavy outline ending in urns. Then enjoy a picnic during the summer or a light a la carte meal in winter together with a lovely wine tasting. After the delicious meal proceed to Franschhoek, a former refuge for French Huguenots, a symbol of the Holy Trinity. The picnic in summer/light a la carte meal in winter is included. Overnight in Cape Town.
