This morning learn more about history of Cape Town on a half day private tour, starting with a visit to the Castle of Good Hope built by Jan Van Riebeeck, the Dutch governor who first colonised the area in 1652.
We continue to the nearby District Six Museum, which tells the story of human suffering caused by the forced removals of the apartheid era (closed on Sundays).
We then visit the Mandela Legacy Exhibition in the City Hall, from where Nelson Mandela first addressed the nation after his release from prison and drive past the Company Gardens and Houses of Parliament, where he served as South Africa's first black president.
Afterwards you will be dropped off at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, with its many shops and restaurants, where you need to make your way to the Clock Tower in good time to board the ferry to Robben Island, the infamous prison home of Nelson Mandela.
On your return look out for the bronze statutes of the four Nobel Laureates that grace the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront - founding ANC president Albert Luthuli, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and former apartheid president FW De Klerk, each of whom played a significant role in South Africa's transition to democracy. At the end of the day, make your own way back to your hotel.
Note: You will need to take your passport for identification, when visiting Robben Island.
