HYM Cape Tours

Published on Feb, 2025

I booked our visit to Robben Island through HYM Cape Tours. They were very professional and extremely friendly, we were collected from our hotel on time and taken to the gate of the ferry and they offered to take us back to our hotel after the trip. They couldn’t have been more helpful,

Great day, Insightful Tour, Lovely Customer Experience

Published on Feb, 2025

I had a last minute schedule change and couldn’t get tickets to Robben Island Tour for next day. Hotel concierge couldn’t help me out either. Came across Hym Cape Tours and reached out to them after hours and Mr. Murashi was were very responsive and within 30 min of exchanging emails, I had my tickets to Robben Island Tour. Mr. Murashi even offered to pick up from Hotel to the Harbor in the morning. The communication and experience with Hym Cape Tours/Mr. Murashi was excellent allowing me to see and enjoy the Tour in the best CT outdoor weather. I highly recommend their tour services.
