Next you will get a sense for Cape Town’s pop-culture via a walking/driving tour through some of the city’s most beloved neighbourhoods. From the Company Gardens to the Spin St Slave Tree and the Trafalgar Flower market there is much to see and experience. Visit District Six, which exists today as a stark reminder of the trauma that occurred across the nation when whole communities and people groups were displaced in the name of ‘national good.’ Visit the museum and the actual site en-route to one of Cape Town’s most ‘creative’ neighbourhoods – Woodstock. The suburb of Woodstock is home to some of the best examples of urban renewal and is home to designers, boutique store attractions and some the most highly regarded street art (graffiti) in the country. Filled with the tastes and sounds of a new Cape Town, it is a great way to experience the creative pulse of the city and interact with local artisans of food; coffee; visual art and crafts.

Depending on the ferry boat used the tour lasts approximately 3.5 hours including the ferry ride to and from the island. When you arrive at the Robben Island jetty take a short walk to buses where you meet your on-island guide. You will be transported to all the historical sites around the Island. On the way to the buses, you will pass buildings and a high wall built by prisoners during the 1960s. Your tour guides inside the prison are mostly former political prisoners who served time there prior to the release of all prisoners from the island in 1991. They are fully conversant and knowledgeable about the Island’s multi-layered 500-year-old history. A highlight will be disembarking the vehicle to enter sites such as Robert Sobukwe’s house, the graveyard of people who died from leprosy, and the Lime Quarry where prisoners worked. You will be taken into the various cells, learn how information was cunningly disseminated, hear a first-hand account of the conditions prisoners lived in, and even step into the cell of Nelson Mandela.
