What you’ll do

You’ll spend the day with one of our local Capetonian hosts, who can’t wait to share with you their favorite places to hang out or where to get your hands on the best food. You’ll weave your way through a pocket of the city, discovering its diversity and the communities who are lucky to call the Mother City home.

You’ll have time to see some historic landmarks and districts like the Company Gardens and Bo-Kaap. Perhaps you want to laze your afternoon away sipping wine in a vineyard carved into the mountainside or on a pristine beach. Get cultured in a gallery, like the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, and maybe end the day with a short hike up Lion’s Head in time for sunset.

We know that a city is more than a place, but a feeling. And so that’s exactly what you’ll experience on your day with your host, as you discover Cape Town your way.

    Milo put together a perfect 6 hour day for us hitting the highlights of Kyoto. He has an impressive understanding of Japanese history, customs, and culture. He is easygoing and engages his clients with a show of interest and sensitivity. Very highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto.

    I just wanted to express my gratitude for the absolute pleasure from the tour myself and my dad had with Alex. He honestly could not have been any better and we had an amazing experience, hence why I wanted to write this email. I would honestly recommend Alex to absolute anyone no matter the age or background, he was an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Farrel

    I had an amazing time with Sofia! Since I already hit some of the prime sites, we took a drive around to see different islands and things off the beaten path. We then walked around her neighborhood, chatting and sharing stories. What a wonderful way to connect with another person and culture. She gave me recommendations for some extra gifts, took me to her favorite coffee shop, and even met her sweet dog! Very happy with my experience today.
