| Day 1 | The first day is ideal for getting to know the city and its highlights. Cape Town central is well worth exploring and offers excellent backup options if you have time after any tours. | 20 | AC Hotel by Marriot Cape Town Waterfront |
| Day 2 | On day two, we'll travel to the Western Cape's famous Cape Winelands for a full-day wine tour in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl.
