Step by Step

Enjoy this tour from Cape Town where you will visit in detail and learn about Robben Island and Long Walk to Freedom. Entrance fees to both sites are included, as well as all air-conditioned vehicle rides.

This experience will allow you to spend a day, about 5 hours in total, learning about the history of South Africa and how it came to be the democracy it is today. Specifically, on the Long Walk to Freedom you will walk among more than 100 life-size bronze sculptures of South African heroes.

These heroes will narrate the country's progress and development over the past 350 years of history. On the other hand, on Robben Island, you will take a guided tour led by an ex-convict. Inside you will see the cells where a large number of freedom fighters lived. You can even enter the cell where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years of his life.
