Day 1:

Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed and accompanied to the Europcar counter where you will pick up your rental car. Our employee will hand over your Co-Pilot package and discuss your itinerary with you.

Day 2:

Discover the Mother City today. The iconic Table Mountain, the historic Castle of Good Hope, the lively Greenmarket Square arts and crafts market, the colorful Malay quarter of Bo Kaap and the green oasis in the middle of the city, the Company Gardens, are all worth a visit.

This evening, take a stroll through the famous V&A Waterfront with its countless stores and restaurants.

Expert tips:

Tonight we recommend an authentic show with dinner at Richard's Supper Stage.

Day 3:

Discover the Cape Peninsula today. Along the upmarket suburbs of the Atlantic Seaboard, Hout Bay and the absolutely unique Chapman's Peak coastal road, you will reach the Cape of Good Hope. On the way back to the city, visit the penguin colony at Boulders Beach and either the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or stop off for a wine tasting in Groot Constantia.

Day 4:

This morning you should go on a very special excursion - to the former prison island of Robben Island. The ferry landing stage to the island is located in the middle of the V&A Waterfront - strolling, shopping and good food are the order of the day here.
