Cape Town Sightseeing Tours Visit Paradise
A sightseeing trip around Cape Town is unlike any other and very fulfilling. The city has a rich past that goes back beyond its colonial pedigree. There is much confirmation of rich prehistoric culture in the rock art which can be observed at an assortment of sites about the city.
A traditional sightseeing tour can be taken on one of the regular red busses which circle the city. There are minor city tours where visitors may jump on and off these busses as it suits them. Tourists may also take the major tour which carries them all the way around the splendid peninsula.
From the pretty Victoria and Alfred waterfront and the Two Oceans aquarium to the immaculate Winchester Mansions hotel, the sightseeing tour bus takes in all the sights and sounds of Cape Town. There are many more interesting places such as the Castle which was built over three hundred years ago and the district six museum which displays the city's diverse cultures. There is even a jewelry tour showing the history and discovery of gold in South Africa.
If tourists are interested in travelling further afield they can take the longer tour which shows off even more of the natural beauty that surrounds the city. An example is the National Botanical Gardens at Kirstenbosch, no more than a ten minute drive from the city. This immaculate example of native flora contains the country's floral wealth which is flawlessly set out, sheltered and exhibited for the public to see.
The extended tour carries tourists out as distant as Hout Bay approximately forty minutes drive from the central business district to the World of Birds, a refuge for many species of birds and other types of animals. Chapman's Peak Drive rises magnificently above the fishing village of Hout Bay. The annual big wave surfing competition is also hosted in Hout Bay where the waves reach fifty feet high and attract an internationally famous contingent of surfers.
Whatever your interest, a Cape Town sightseeing tour will meet all your expectations.
