Description

Our drive through the city centre takes us past famous landmarks such as the Castle of Good Hope, built in 1666 by the Dutch East India Company, City Hall, a baroque building, and the Grand Parade. As we follow the city’s main thoroughfare, Adderley Street, we will see St. George’s Cathedral. We will pass the Company Gardens and the Malay Quarter [also known as the Bo-Kaap] with its colourful houses. In the early 18th century, thousands of slaves from Java, Ceylon and other Far Eastern regions were brought to Cape Town. After slavery was abolished, their descendants, known as the Cape Malay’s, settled here. Continue to join a sparkling tour, witness the art of diamond cutting, the careful craftsmanship of jewellery manufacturing by skilled experts and discover the history of the Diamond and Gold Trade in South Africa. You will be offered the option of continuing to Table Mountain, where you can ascend to the top [weather permitting] by revolving cable car. See wildflowers, the famous silver tree, and marvel at a birds-eye view of the city and its beaches. On a clear day, it is even possible to see Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, on one side and Cape Point on the other.
