Formerly a political prison and a leper colony before that, the historic landmark of Robben Island was recently established as a museum, national monument and world heritage site. Experience the conditions of incarceration - view Nelson Mandela's maximum security prison cell (Cell 5) and see the lime quarries. In the one, hard labour was served, in the other prisoners discussed strategy, freedom and the future. Later, many would develop eye problems as a result of the sun's reflection off the lime surfaces. This well-preserved landmark is a monument to the triumph of freedom, dignity and determination over humiliation and oppression. During the tour, you will have the opportunity to explore the Murray's Bay Harbour precinct attractions, such as the Muslim shrine, or kramat, and the Museum Shop.

The Mount Nelson Hotel is a notable hallmark of luxury and indulgence. The world-renowned afternoon tea buffet is set in the elegant lounge overlooking the manicured garden. Enjoy the sumptuous selection of chocolate eclairs and petit fours, mini cakes and classic carrot, chocolate and cheese cakes, savory sandwiches and empanadas, scones and succulent fresh fruits. There are over thirty loose leaf teas to try, from Rooibos and Lapsang Souchong, to Earl Grey and Darjeeling.

You will bee collected from your hotel this morning by your local guide, who will show you where to snap the best Instagram photos of Cape Town's most iconic sights. First stop is Table Mountain, named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, for a cable car ride to the top of the mountain (weather permitting). Travel via the scenic Chapman's Peak drive (if open) to Cape Point Nature Reserve, for a picture of the famous Cape Point lighthouse dating back to 1859. Visit Boulders Beach, home to a colony of African Penguins and then to Muizenberg Beach, one of the most popular Cape Town beaches, dotted with colorful beach huts along the sand and locally known as surfers paradise. Head to Groot Constantia Wine Estate, for a wine tasting (with souvenir crystal glass included) and wander through the instaworthy vineyards. The final stop is the V and A Waterfront, an instagrammer's paradise. Spend as much time snapping away and enjoying the amazing views of Table Mountain and the ocean before being dropped off at your accommodation.

Celebrate the vibrant diversity of Cape Town's special Gin variety with its distinctly South African flavor that reflects the biodiversity of the region. Enjoy three craft gin tastings and tour the most southerly craft distillery on the Cape Peninsula. Our journey of discovery begins at the Woodstock Gin Company, distillers of fynbos infused South African gin with subtle undertones of buchu and wild rosemary. Then we're off to the Cape Town Gin and Spirits Company, to sample handcrafted, small batch Gins, infused with handpicked Rooibos, vibrantly red in color and a distinctive taste.
Our final tasting and distillery tour take place at the Deep South Distillery, known for crafting award winning artisanal spirits in small batches following a very hands on approach. Both of its gins are gold medal winners that pay tribute to the unique flora and surroundings of the Cape Peninsula.
