🗺️ Your Garden & Granite Itinerary

01. Table Mountain: The High Point We start the morning with a cable car ascent to the summit of Table Mountain. Beating the midday clouds, you’ll have time to explore the walking trails and capture the Atlantic Ocean and City Bowl from 1,084 meters above sea level.

02. Kirstenbosch: The Botanical Gem Next, we head to the eastern slopes of the mountain to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. Your guide will lead you through the fragrant fynbos gardens and onto the “Boomslang” Canopy Walkway. This winding bridge offers spectacular views over the Cape Flats and the mountain’s craggy buttresses.

03. Constantia: A Taste of History Our afternoon is spent in the Constantia Wine Valley. As the oldest wine-producing region in the Southern Hemisphere, it offers a refined atmosphere of ancient oak trees and rolling vineyards. We’ll stop at a premier estate for a guided wine tasting and an optional lunch featuring locally sourced ingredients.

04. Scenic Return We wind our way back to Cape Town through the leafy southern suburbs, arriving at your hotel in time for your evening plans.

🗣️ Why Choose the Cape Heritage Tour?

While many tours focus on the coastline, this journey explores the interior beauty of the Cape Peninsula. It is a more tranquil alternative to the busy Cape Point route, focusing on the lush greenery and historical depth of the city. By choosing a private tour, you avoid the rush of large buses, allowing you to linger over a glass of Sauvignon Blanc or spend extra time capturing the perfect protea photo in the gardens.
