    Tafa is an excellent guide. Lots of information on history and took his time to allow us to look at other things along the way. Would highly recommend him.

    This was a great way to see some of the random little sights in Cape Town. Dieter was our guide, and he did an excellent job of giving us a locals look at the area. Our walk was customized to us ans showed us many fun areas that we had not found on our own. He was very personable, took a ton of pictures for us, and even sent me a recipe for bobotie! I would definitely recommend this tour and ask for Dieter!
