What you’ll do

Explore ‘hipster haven’ as you weave through the streets of Woodstock with your host, a neighborhood whose Victorian houses and old docklands warehouses have experienced an urban revival of late. With your local Cape Town host by your side, the warm and creative spirit of the locale will no doubt shine through. 

There’s a vibrant energy that flows through the streets and your host will open your eyes to the true nature of this ‘village in a city’ as you amble through the mural-lined streets with a coffee in hand (to blend in with the hipsters, of course).

You’ll visit the Old Biscuit Mill, the establishment many credit with kickstarting Woodstock’s revolution. On Saturdays, you’ll find an eclectic food market while during the week the vibe is more tranquil with its unique stores and coffee shops.

You can wander into artists’ studios, see provocative street art and stop by design-centered districts like the Woodstock Exchange. There’s never a dull moment here.

    We had a great tour with Tafa. He is friendly and has good knowledge of the history of Cape Town and is a good storyteller. He drives a good car suitable for 6 persons. He takes his guiding task serious and we felt comfortable and safe. His English was good. We recommend Tafa if you are looking for a good guide or chauffeur.

    Yuko went above and beyond during our tour! She truly provided the best insight to art and culture of Kyoto! She provided wonderful insight of the diverse and interesting city. She shared her personal recommendations for food, gardens, art, and things to do and all have been amazing! The tour far exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend Yuko! Consider yourself very lucky if you get her for your tour!
