Tour the tunnels
If you seek to explore something different during your visit to Cape Town, then tour the tunnels under the city with a qualified guide. Discover the underground canals created in 1652 to supply fresh water to Company's Garden and passing ships. These underground tunnels are now used to divert mountain water to the ocean and offer an out-of-the-box touring opportunity to the visitors.
