Hi there everyone! So glad to be of your acquaintance. I have been working within the tourism industry for over 20 years so I have a good idea of what the discerning visitor would enjoy. Food? Yes! Cape cuisine is classic. When cooking for my family, I pretend to be Jamie Oliver delivering hearty meals. When visiting the Cape Malay Café the discerning visitor will feel their taste buds come alive. Cape Town not only presents a melting pot of culture and tradition but a menu of both local and global. At the Community Arts Project I was introduced to the art of creating linocuts and this experience deepened my appreciation of the arts. During the upgrade at the Table Mountain Cableway I was introduced to manual- as well as technical labour and this matured me. It is here my people skills got harnessed awa first aid and thinking outside the box. Now nothing inspires the discerning traveller more than combining food and art. Love it!

Willy, our tour guide, went above and beyond and made our city tour fantastic! He emailed me prior to our tour to discuss what we wanted to see and do. The day of the tour he was on time and ready to go with a smile! He delivered on every thing we wanted to see! He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! Perfect way to start our vacation in Cape Town! Thanks Willy!

Willy went above and beyond to make our city tour fantastic! A few days prior to the tour, Willy sent us an email introducing himself and asked what we’d like to see and learn. He delivered on all our requests. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! Super way to start our vacation in Cape Town! Thanks Willy!

I had a great time with William. He's a great guide. He knows the city and its history inside and out. It was a very interesting 3-hour tour. I highly recommend this activity with William.
