I'll be spending a weekend in Cape Town in early March. However, I only have one full day doing sightseeing on a Saturday. I wanna spend a half day touring Cape of Good Hope/Cape Point + Penguin colony in the morning and come back to Table Mountain in the afternoon and visit V&A Waterfront in the evening. Is it doable? Does anyone have a recommendation of a reputable tour company?

Hylton Ross - always. Long in business and reputable. I have had first hand experience and they are tops!

And ask for Wayne Maddams with Hylton Ross... great guide! Table Mountain often has the "tablecloth" (clouds) obscuring it, so you may find that going up in the early morning hours works better. You'll just have to see what's happening when you're there.
I agree with ShayTay - flip your itinerary and go to Table Mtn first thing in the morning, before the clouds and crowds descend. This will also allow you to return to Cape Town along Chapman's Peak Drive at sunset (do the Cape Peninsula tour in a clockwise direction - east coast/penguins first, west coast at the end of the day) - take a bottle of wine and enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic.

Thank you guys! I will book a tour with Hylton Ross and see if I can go to Table Mtn first and then Cape Point that afternoon to enjoy the sunset!
On a separate note, do you guys know any good one-day tour to Pilanesberg game reserve? I'll be in JoBurg for one weekend and plan to spend one day to do a safari tour and another day back to the city to visit the Apartheid museum.
