The neglect is shameful and humiliating. The tour guides do their best as ambassadors, but everything is dirty and the weeds in the walls tell their own story. It makes it difficult to boast about th…Full review by Kathleen S

You move at your pace. What's quite amazing is that the sea level have changed and that the water was much closer to the castle than what it is today. The old furniture, the quality of wood used. One…Full review by Bongekile M

We didn't take the guided tour because we like to do our own thing at our pace. How long you stay there really depends on what you like and at what speed you go round and what you decide you want to see and what you decide to leave out. We spent the whole afternoon there and it was most enjoyable. One thing to note is where you park your vehicle. Don't park it in the car park outside the walls near the main gate and leave it empty as we were told one or two incidents had occurred there. We were guided round to the left and to cross the little bridge over the moat which has a sentry on duty there and into another car park inside the castle walls where it's safe to leave it. Hope this helps.

Q:
I will be in Cape Town in August for a week. I know the castle is home to the Cape Town Highlanders and I wanted to know when the boys attend for their parade. I know they wear the Gordon tartan and as a former soldier in Australia who served in a Scottish Regiment who also wore the Gordon colours I would like to see them.
A:
Thank you, look forward to your reply. Even if you can find out which day or night the regiment is on duty, thanks again.
