Are the "Wow Capetown Travel and Tours” prices correct? They seem really expensive (e.g., US$45 is around 600ZAR, compared to 400ZAR for an Uber in both directions without sharing

​Yes they are a bit more expensive but  they offer a “Meet & Greet” service with staff at the airport, ready to welcome each person. This may might be a good, safe option for first-time visitors to be welcomed and escorted to their transportation. Clients are asked to provide the time, date, and flight number of both their arriving and departing flights.

 
- the US$80/day tours seem extremely expensive!).

n terms of the pricing……
​ We looked at several other companies for group tour options e.g.,

 

Ilios Travel – R1350 per person about $104

​USD

African Eagle – R1300 per person about $100

​USD

 

​Wow's
 price is R1040 ($80
​USD​
)
​also 
 includes entrance fees of $23usd per person.

BTW, I’ve put some currency conversion estimates at:
and have created the template at:
that might be useful to add to the info pages.

Thanks,
Mike

Thank you.

As I have just posted on the page's talk-page:

"How do we get to the city centre/ event venue from the airport? The
Cape Town page says to use MyCiTi - that's a bus, I think, but it's
not clear. What does it cost? Is exact change needed? Do we pay on the
bus, or at the airport?"
