Half Day Cape Town City Tour

On a clear day, the distinctive shape of Table Mountain can be seen from up to 200km out to sea, while its summit provides spectacular views of the city, its Waterfront and Harbour below, the majestic Hottentots Holland mountains to the East and Cape Point to the south.

The Table Mountain cableway underwent a R90 million upgrade in 1997 and the new system - a combination of Swiss and South African Engineering - boasts revolving floors in the new cable cars, giving passengers a 360 degree panoramic view on their way up the mountain.

The excursion is strictly weather permitting. After descending the mountain, you will depart on a tour of the "Mother City"

The tour of the City takes one past Lion's Head to Signal Hill with its dramatic views of Cape Town, Table Bay, Robben Island, Sea Point and Camps Bay.

Signal Hill was first used as a semaphore post for communicating with ships at sea and is still home to the Noon Day Gun, which is fired at midday every day except Sunday.
