Cape Town City Tour
The centrally located Company’s Gardens were
established by the Dutch East India Company in the
17th century to grow fruit and vegetables to supply
its fleet, and to trade with the visiting Mariners. Here
a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers are grown
around the historical buildings, including the South
African Parliament and the State President’s guest
house, the “Tuinhuis”.
The Bo-Kaap, formerly known as the Cape Malay
Quarter, is situated on the slopes of Signal Hill.
Founded in the 18th century it is characterised by
mosques, brightly painted Georgian terrace houses
and narrow cobbled streets. Most of the inhabitants
are descendants of slaves from the East. The Bo Kaap
Museum tells of the area’s history and Muslim
heritage.
A visit of Table Mountain is the highlight of any tour.
However, this is weather permitting and the ticket is
not inclusive.
A rotating cable car only takes a few minutes to reach
the summit of the 1086 metre high mountain,
one of the best-known landmarks of South Africa. The
circular walk around Table Mountain’s summit
rewards visitors with breathtaking views of Cape
Town and the surrounds.
Alternatively you spend the day at your own leisure.
