Itinerary
Upon arrival in Cape Town, you will be welcomed by your Cox & Kings local representative and transferred to your luxury hotel. Cape Cadogan is a chic, boutique hotel in the heart of the city. One&Only Cape Town sits on the popular Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the Two Oceans Aquarium. Cape Cadogan or One&Only Cape Town – 4-nights
After a leisurely morning, your private guide will take you up majestic Table Mountain, over 3,500 feet above sea level, by cable car, then for a walk through the Company Gardens, formally established in 1652 by Dutch settlers. Late this afternoon, board the Spirit of Victoria, a traditionally designed 58-foot gaff-rigged schooner, for a relaxing cruise to view the sunset from Cape Town’s lovely natural harbor. (B)
Choose from our Connoisseur’s wine experience with Trevor Earl, or our “wine-less” journey through the museums and architecture of the wine region. Enjoy tastings of high-quality reds and whites as well as Cap Classiques (South African “Champagnes”) in areas including Constantia, Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch. If architecture and history are more your style, visit some classic examples of Cape Dutch buildings from the 1700s and 1800s and museums that chronicle the slave trade and 100 years of local automotive history.
