Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers. Cape Town weather changes quickly, especially when visiting windy areas like Table Mountain.

Most tours involve moderate walking through historic districts like Bo-Kaap. Wear sturdy shoes and stay hydrated throughout the day.

Q: Can I include Table Mountain in my city tour?
