We have a long list of things to do - from a trip up table mountain and a tour of the wine lands to shark cage diving and horseback riding. Typically if I want to take any type of excursion I just book things directly with the company as I find most travel agents are more expensive, but will want suggestions for most reputable companies in SA. Does anyone have any suggestions of a travel agent, either local in the US or in CPT, that they would recommend for booking all of these excursions? If it matters, we're staying at the Hilton Cape Town (not sure on their concierge for things like this.)
TIA!
We were in Capetown about 18 months ago at the Hilton and used their concierge service. They were very accommodating. We emailed many many times prior to our visit and they were responsive and fair. They even advised when it was cheaper for us to buy a ticket on the Internet vs them booking for us. They did transfers to and from the airport and we're willing to customize whatever we wanted. I wouldn't want to do tours with groups they will eat up too much time. We did Stellenbosch cape of good hope boulders beach Chapman peak drive in a day. Wine Country is very nice. Robben island takes a lot of time and table mountain can be iffy due to weather.
