Take on the Peninsula & Wine Experience with Jeep Tours Cape Town
Guided city tours are famed favourites for travellers looking to get a crash course on a destination’s top landmark spots to see. If you have visited Cape Town, you would have had the pitch to get on the double decker bus that will have you traverse across this stunning city for a few hours. But did you know that there is one cooler way you can navigate the Mother City, tacking on a little spirited adventure as you absorb the breath-taking views the City of Cape Town from numerous vantage points?
Offering a wide range of tours tailored to suit varied preferences, guests can experience the exhilaration of discovering Cape Town and its surrounding areas in a non-conventional way, and in the comfort of the rugged open-top Jeep Wranglers. Highly recommended is the Peninsula & Wine Experience that takes you from your pick-up location, through a scenic route over the rolling ascents and descents of Cape Town City’s roads towards Camps Bay, onto Chapman’s peak, and rounding off with a wine farm tour. Because one must always have reasons to try out something new in a more enjoyable manner, here are ours for encouraging you to whizz through the Mother City with Jeep Tours Cape Town:
1. Female-owned, female led rugged
fun! Jeep Tours Cape Town is a female owned adventure tourism company that provides chauffeured driven tours of the city and its environs in specially designed Jeep Wrangler vehicles. It’s particularly show-stopping to arrive at any pit stop as part of a convoy of Jeeps, with “boss babes” at the steering wheel, so don’t be surprised when a host of strangers start gathering around and asking for photos! Trust us. That will happen!
2. Incredible look out spots form part
of your itinerary. What makes the Peninsula & Wine experience super cool is that part of your trip comes with venturing to some amazing lookout spots and bespoke experiences on secluded off road trails. You will enjoy the winding roads through the city’s trendy and upscale neighbourhoods, heading up towards the landmark and out towards the wine farms. Spectacular views of the hilly terrains, vineyards, and nearby beaches await, and if you are as fortunate to experience the good side of Cape Town’s unpredictable weather, you will love this dreamy cruise with the crisp breeze blowing against your face, under the striking blue skies.
3. Wine tasting in the vineyards makes for an absolute win. What is a trip to Cape Town without a wine experience anywhere? Experience the rustic beauty of Southern Africa’s most visited city while exploring fine wines from different estates. Guests are also afforded insight into wine making, as their “Open Air” Jeep navigates through vineyards and farm backroads, leading them to some of the Cape’s most phenomenal, often family owned and operated wineries. This experience is soul food for wine lovers and those with an affinity for the outdoors, as they unearth the smells of wine farm flora from the seat of your Jeep, ahead of enjoying a meal at any of the featured vineyards.
