Great experience!
Paulette_L, Nov 2023
I had an unexpected extra day in Cape Town and decided to visit Robben Island. Faziela was the only one able to get a ticket for the next day. She was very efficient and easy to communicate with. I definitely recommend her!

Hi Steve and Joan, we appreciate your awesome, awesome 5 stars! It was great to be in your company. Happy to hear your expectations were exceeded. Wishing you well for the future.
Definitely give this tour a look if you're in Cape Town!

I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town. Robben Island isn't exactly a fun place to visit, but I think it's an important place to visit. There is a lot of history on Robben Island. I learned quite a bit from the guides, one of whom was a political prison on the island during Apartheid. We also stopped at a few other fun locations during the day, as well, which was a fun surprise. These are places I never would have known about on my own.

The experience to Robben Island was so inspiring and memorable. It was profound to hear those stories of struggles for freedom. Also, Mrs Faziela Mohideen was a great guide. I really think to recommend a such guide to everyone 👌🏽

Our visit to Robben Island was well worth the time and money we spent. Our pickup by Faziela was right on time and she was a lovely lady. As we drove to the ferry to the island she gave us information about what we were seeing. Faziela dropped us off at the ferry dock and escorted us to the correct place to get on and was ready to drop us off at our hotel. Very informative mini tour. The tour guides at RI were very knowledgeable about all that went on in the past as they had once been prisoners themselves. Much information was given about the most famous inmates including Nelson Mandela. The tour left us with a much clearer understanding of what he endured and the importance of his resistance to the government of South Africa. He is such a hero.
