Private Cape Town City, Mountain & Diamond Experience
Discover the soul of the “Mother City” through a curated journey that bridges centuries of history with breathtaking natural splendor. Your exploration begins at the Castle of Good Hope, South Africa’s oldest colonial building, where your private guide will lead you through stone archways to uncover stories of maritime legends and the city’s early roots. From there, ascend the majestic Table Mountain via cable car (weather permitting). At the summit, you’ll stand atop one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, enjoying 360-degree panoramas that stretch across the Atlantic Ocean, Robben Island, and the sprawling Cape Peninsula.
The journey then shifts from natural wonders to the sparkling legacy of South African craftsmanship. At the Diamond Works Workshop, you’ll go behind the scenes to witness master artisans at their benches, meticulously transforming raw stones into brilliant works of art. Your immersion concludes at the Rockwell Diamond Experience, where you’ll delve into the fascinating history of South African mining and refinement. From the heights of the mountain to the precision of a diamond’s cut, this experience offers a profound understanding of the elements and industries that have shaped the nation’s identity.
Cape Sidecar “Midi” Tour – A Chauffeured Coastal Adventure
Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Cape Peninsula with a dash of vintage flair and open-air exhilaration. Aboard a privately chauffeured vintage sidecar motorcycle, you’ll whiz along the spectacular Atlantic Seaboard, feeling the ocean breeze as you pause for “postcard moments” at the granite boulders of Maiden’s Cove and the bustling harbor of Hout Bay.
The journey reaches new heights as you conquer the legendary Chapman’s Peak Drive—widely regarded as one of the world’s most scenic marine routes—winding between sheer cliffs and the crashing surf below. After exploring the artisan boutiques and rustic charm of Noordhoek Farm Village, your adventure continues through the lush greenery of Constantia Nek and the wooded slopes of Rhodes Drive. With a final panoramic stop at Rhodes Memorial, you’ll take in elevated views of the city skyline, returning to the hotel with a camera full of memories and the thrill of a ride like no other.
Your Stay: The Commodore Hotel, Cape Town
Ideally positioned at the vibrant V&A Waterfront, The Commodore offers a blend of nautical elegance and modern comfort. Overlooking the harbor with the majestic Table Mountain as its backdrop, this hotel serves as the perfect base for exploring the city’s best dining and shopping. Enjoy world-class service, a serene wellness center, and daily breakfast before your urban adventures begin.
Franschhoek Wine Tram
Experience one of the most celebrated ways to explore South Africa’s wine country aboard the iconic Franschhoek Wine Tram. This hop-on, hop-off journey offers an effortless and scenic introduction to the beauty and charm of the Franschhoek Valley — a region framed by dramatic mountain backdrops, rolling vineyards, and a 300-year winemaking heritage.
Traveling aboard a charming double-decker tram and open-air tram, you’ll glide through the valley, stopping at a curated selection of some of South Africa’s oldest and most renowned wine estates. At each estate, enjoy wine tastings of award-winning vintages, and peaceful strolls through the vineyards before reboarding to continue your journey.
Throughout the experience, engaging narration shares the rich history of Franschhoek — from its French Huguenot roots to its evolution into South Africa’s culinary capital — offering deeper insight into the culture, craftsmanship, and hospitality that define the region.
Relaxed yet refined, this is wine country exploration at its most elegant and enjoyable.
Your Stay: Le Franschhoek Hotel & Spa
Nestled in the heart of the Cape Winelands, this retreat is a masterclass in tranquility and Cape Dutch architecture. Surrounded by towering mountains and manicured vineyards, the hotel offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of the city. Spend your evenings enjoying the refined atmosphere and your mornings waking up to breathtaking valley views and a sumptuous breakfast.
