Beautiful places to experience

From the city bowl to the vineyards and the wild coast — these are the destinations our guests ask for most, and the ones we know best.

Aerial view of Table Mountain and the Cape Town city bowl

Cape Town & Table Mountain

Table Mountain by cable car, the colourful houses of Bo-Kaap, the Company's Garden and the V&A Waterfront — a full city day with a chauffeur waiting at every stop.

Vineyard rows in the Cape Winelands near Stellenbosch

The Cape Winelands

Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Historic estates, cellar tours, award-winning reds and long lunches under the oaks — with a driver so everyone can taste.

Lighthouse and cliffs at the Cape of Good Hope

Cape of Good Hope & Peninsula

Chapman's Peak Drive, Cape Point, the penguins at Boulders Beach and the naval village of Simon's Town — the classic coastal day out from the city.

Coastal road along cliffs on the Garden Route

The Garden Route

Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, the Tsitsikamma forests and the Bloukrans Bridge. A multi-day drive where the journey itself is the attraction.

Game drive vehicle on safari in a South African game park

Game parks & safari

Big Five game reserves within reach of Cape Town, plus the Garden Route parks. We handle the long transfers so you arrive rested for the afternoon drive.

Harbour and boats at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town

Waterfront, food & history

Fine dining at the V&A Waterfront, the Zeitz MOCAA, Robben Island ferries and the District Six Museum — the city's table, art and memory in one day.

Things to do, locally and on the outskirts

Tell us what you enjoy and we will shape the day around it — wine, food, history, wildlife or simply the best views in the Cape.

Wine tasting & cellar tours

Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Constantia and Hemel-en-Aarde. We plan the route around the estates you want, book the tastings and keep the pace relaxed.

Food, markets & fine dining

Long lunches on wine estates, the Old Biscuit Mill on a Saturday, Cape Malay cooking in Bo-Kaap and the city's top restaurants — with a driver on standby.

History & heritage

Robben Island, the Castle of Good Hope, District Six and the Slave Lodge. A chauffeur who knows the story behind each stop along the way.

Whales, penguins & wildlife

Hermanus in whale season, the Boulders Beach penguin colony, and Big Five game reserves a few hours from the city. Comfortable transfers, early starts included.

Scenic drives & viewpoints

Chapman's Peak, Signal Hill at sunset, the Cape Point cliffs and the Garden Route's passes. Stop where you like — the vehicle is yours for the day.

Golf, business & airport transfers

Meet-and-greet airport pickups, corporate days, and golf at the Cape's famous courses with clubs and luggage handled door to door.

Why guests book Top Notch

A chauffeur service is only as good as the person behind the wheel. Ours are the reason guests come back.

Professional, discreet drivers

Licensed, experienced and punctual. Your chauffeur knows the routes, the traffic and the best times to arrive — and gives you privacy when you want it.

Comfortable, immaculate vehicles

Late-model Mercedes V300, Hyundai Staria and VW Transporter, cleaned and checked before every booking, with air conditioning and room for luggage.

Your day, your itinerary

Change plans mid-tour, add a stop, stay longer at lunch. With 12 hours and 150 km included per day, the schedule stays flexible from morning to night.

Clear, upfront pricing

No hidden extras. You know the day rate, the included kilometres and hours, and exactly what extra distance or waiting time costs before you book.

Groups, families & business

From a couple on a wine tour to a corporate group of fourteen, we match the right vehicle to the party and handle every transfer along the way.

We know the Cape

Born-and-raised local knowledge of Cape Town, the Winelands, the Garden Route and the game parks — the shortcuts, the viewpoints and the good coffee stops.

Chauffeur driving a luxury vehicle on a Cape Town tour

Driven by people who love this place

Top Notch Chauffeur was built around a simple idea: that the best way to see the Western Cape is from the back seat of a beautiful car, with someone who knows the road ahead.

We run day-driven hire rather than fixed tours. You tell us where you would like to go — a morning on Table Mountain, an afternoon in Franschhoek, three days along the Garden Route, or a game park transfer — and we build the day around it. Your chauffeur stays with you throughout, so there is no waiting for taxis, no parking, and no one has to stay sober for the drive home.

Our flagship is a 2024 black Mercedes V300, joined by a Hyundai Staria and a VW Transporter for larger groups and longer trips. Every booking includes 150 km and 12 hours of driving per day, with straightforward rates for anything beyond that.

What our guests say

Families, couples and corporate travellers who spent their Cape days in the back of our vehicles.

We booked the Mercedes for four days — airport, Winelands, Cape Point and a Garden Route leg. The car was spotless, our driver was early every morning, and we never once had to think about parking or directions.


Anna & Peter M.Visiting from Munich, Germany

Eight of us travelled in the Staria for a week. Plenty of room for luggage, air conditioning that actually worked, and a chauffeur who knew exactly which wine estates were worth the stop. Worth every rand.


Thabo N.Family holiday, Johannesburg

We used Top Notch for a corporate group across three days of meetings and a team dinner in Franschhoek. Punctual, discreet and completely reliable — the pricing was clear from the first message.
