The experience
Diamonds & Mountain
Begin with diamonds, then rise above the city. The cableway carries you to the summit of Table Mountain, where you have time to walk the plateau and take in the city, the ocean and Robben Island far below.
After lunch the day comes back down to the streets: the colour of the Bo-Kaap, the long view from Signal Hill and an easy walk through the Company's Garden and the historic centre.

The diamond experience
Every Journey Begins With a Diamond
Each day includes time with diamonds in Cape Town: how they are found, cut and set, the craftsmanship behind a finished stone, and time to look closely in a showroom.
Buying is never part of the plan. If something catches your eye, you deal directly with the jeweller, and nothing you see is included in the tour price.
What's Included
- Private vehicle with your own driver-guide for the day
- Hotel collection and return within central Cape Town
- The Diamond Works' complimentary Signature Diamond & Tanzanite Experience, by appointment
- Table Mountain cableway return ticket
- Lunch, up to R250 per guest
- Bottled water and parking
Not Included
- Jewellery, diamonds, gemstones and rings, which you buy directly from the jeweller if you choose to
- A Fast Track cableway ticket, unless added
- Additional drinks, gratuities and personal purchases
- Flights, accommodation and travel insurance
- Collection outside central Cape Town, extra hours or changes after confirmation, unless quoted
