David_M, Dec 2023
Excellent tour given by a very knowledgeable tour guide. The reproductions are vivid and authentic. We learned a lot about what went before, and after the first heart transplant, and about Dr. Christian Barnard, the good and excessive enjoyment of his celebrity.

If you have an interest in medicine it is a way to go back in medical history and understand how it all started with Christiaan Barnard. Not a touristic place so I liked it as a first discovery of Cape Town.
Excellent
Attila_D, Jul 2023
Excellent, definitely worth to see. The staff is very generous and kind. Highly recommend! Thanks for everything.
The heart of cape town...
Lynne_L, Jan 2023
The heart of cape town museum is an amazing experience, a must see. However DO NOT TRUST VIATOR to do the booking for you. They reserved a day when the museum was closed and did not inform the facility of our booking. This is the second time Viator was irresponsible for our bookings. I will not use them again. However, please go to the Heart of Capetown museum. It was fantastic as was Cindy the direct.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hello Lynne_L. Thank you for taking the time to review your experience. The museum operates all days of the week and does so strictly on bookings as stated in the information supplied: Before you go - Tours are 9am, 11am, 1pm & 3pm. Bookings are essential: Phone: +27 21 404 1967. You must have missed this crucial information when you booked. We are happy you enjoyed the tour after-all.
Non-existant tour

This museum is closed! We arrived to be told that the tour has not operated for over a year. What a disappointment.
Response from Host, Apr 2021
We where briefly open however we unfortunalty decided to close. We are more than happy to provide you with a full refund.
Excellent tour, rather expensive for foreigners
Stefan_S, Sep 2019
Prices have been increased to 350Rand for foreigners (especially overseas). Tour was great with a lot of passion from guide. Definitely a recommendation, although it's too pricey with latest increase
