Stayed at Townhouse - Cape Town, South Africa.

Loved Capetown as a city. Recommend touring around Capetown on the 'topless bus', also take advantage of organized trips to places of interest, i.e. Townships, Robben Island etc.

We stayed in Santon and travelled by taxi and foot (although not by foot late at night on the advice of the hotel staff). Would recommend the Bull Run in Santon and the Butcher's shop in Nelson Square to eat. We used a local taxi for tours and were given a personal guide to Soweta which was moving and informative from a local's point of view. We found the local people in Santon extremely helpful and friendly.

Cape Town has a lot to offer tourists. The usual places to visit is Table Mountain, V&A Waterfront, Boulders and Simons Town to see the penguins and Robbens Island. I would recommend a Township Tour to District Six which is very informative on what South Africa was like during apartheid.
If you are lucky you should see the musical District Six after you took the tour. A great independent Travel agent is GC Tours. This is Errol's company and he is so knowlegeable about Cape Town (tel # 021-691-9192/Cell: 082-968-5636). Other things to see is is visit to Parliament(you must make reservations) and the Holocaust Museum.
If you do not have transportation Mosen at Unicab is reliable (Cell:083-733-9933).Just call him up and he will pick you up or if he is busy he will send someone else from Unicab which is the biggest cab companies in Cape Town.
A visit to Stellenbosch (wine country) is a must but you should spend 2-3 days there as just a day trip is insufficient. One of the best tours from Stellenbosch is Redwood Tours (contact Keith Cell 082-443-6480) He is not the cheapest but his tours as well as his knowledge is worth the extra Rand. Remember you get what you pay for.
