Description
Join a half-day Cape Town city tour to visit the majestic Table Mountain, the Castle of Good Hope Museum, and the District Six Museum. Learn about the history of the city and its people as you explore these iconic landmarks.
Start your tour at the District Six Museum (ticket not included), dedicated to the history of District Six, a once-thriving, multicultural neighborhood that was forcibly cleared under apartheid. Learn about the impact of forced removals and see a large floor map where former residents can mark their old homes.
Next, make your way to the Castle of Good Hope Museum. The Castle of Good Hope is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa, located in Cape Town. Built by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) between 1666 and 1679, it served as a military fortress and administrative center for the Cape Colony.
Explore the castle's moat, walls, bell tower, dungeons, and torture chamber (ticket not included). Visit the William Fehr Collection, showcasing Dutch and British-era artifacts, paintings, and furniture.
End your tour with a visit to Table Mountain National Park (ticket not included). Use the cable car to reach the top of the mountain.
