- Meet Your CEO and Group: Your opportunity to meet your CEO and fellow travellers, and learn more about your tour. Opt to join the group for a local meal afterwards. Don't forget to see the notice in the lobby (or ask reception) for the official time and place to meet up with the group.
- Cooking Class & Dinner in Bo-Kaap: Food is a universal language, and there's no better way to get to know a new friend, or a new community, than by breaking bread together and digging in to a delicious meal. Gather round with local women as they give you a warm-hearted tour of their beloved Bo-Kaap. Gather together in the kitchen as you help your host cook a multi-dish meal of traditional regional staples like potato Malay curry, samosas, and chili poppers. Step-by-step, you will learn together and witness how food has this undeniable power to bring strangers together. Sit down around the table in your host’s home and enjoy the delicious fruits of your labour as you laugh and share stories about one another. You’ll be surprised how early on the connection can feel effortless.
Today is all about Cape Town. First the group and CEO will enjoy a cable car ride up to the top of the city’s iconic Table Mountain. Soak in the views that locals and visitors alike rave about, and set your sights on landmarks like Lion’s Head, Signal Hill, Table Bay, and Devil’s Peak. Explore some of the hiking trails at the top before returning to the base via cable car. In the afternoon attend a farm-to-table experience in a community garden where you will enjoy a workshop and listen to stories before having a delicious, locally sourced meal.

- Get To Know Cape Town: With your incredible CEO at the helm, get to know the local community and your Solo-ish travel mates on a day packed full of interesting and engaging adventures. Start by getting to know the glories of Cape Town during an epic day featuring both a highlight and unique experience. First up a cable car ride to the top of iconic Table Mountain to enjoy the remarkable panoramic views from new heights. Enjoy time to hike the surrounding trails with others or on your own, and feel the luxury of solitude but skip the loneliness. Then head to a community garden to hear from a local entrepreneur about the work they are doing to grow organic produce. Cap off the day with a delicious spread of food from the garden.
Get ready for what G does best and enjoy a day of the must-see sites and highlights of Cape Town with a surprise G twist occurring somewhere along the way. Depart for the Cape Peninsula, with a quick stop at St James along the way to see the colourful beach huts and take some photos, then head to Kalk Bay for the charm of this fishing village where mussel shells used to be farmed to make chalk. Boulders Beach is next where you'll hop into a kayak to paddle with the penguins. The remainder of the day is focused on various viewpoints and lookout spots around Cape Town and who knows where you just might end up to cap off G Day.

From the beach huts at St. James to the charming fishing village of Kalk Bay and the iconic penguins at Boulders Beach, this day in Cape Town gets you to all of the must-see spots while adding in a special G surprise somewhere along the way. Visit the Cape Point Lighthouse, set off along the Chapmans Peak Drive, and feel fully enveloped in the allure of Cape Town.
It’s time for a day that belongs to you! After three immersive days, Cape Town might be feeling familiar and you’re likely ready to take on some exploration by yourself. From museums to hikes, or perhaps a wine tour to the nearby vineyards, there’s no shortage of options. And you can decide to be as alone or social as you choose for the best of both worlds. If you'd like to spend time with your incredible CEO, choose to join her on a visit to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.

Mid-day calls for a cruise along the breathtaking Chapman's Peak Drive offering up epic coastal views. Cap off the tour with some time to relax at Muizenberg Beach with its iconic colorful huts. It's an ideal way to truly experience Cape Town.
- South African Wine Tour and Tasting: Take a day trip into the wine lands of South Africa with an expert guide. Visit iconic estates and lesser-visited farms only known to locals in the Stellenbosch area. Indulge in tastings and pairings with cheeses, chocolate, and local delicacies such as Biltong (salted meat).
