What you’ll do

With your local Cape Town host by your side, you can leave your comfort zone in total comfort. Exploring a new city should never feel intimidating, and with your host by your side, it never will.

You’ll explore a pocket of the city like the CBD or Waterfront with your Capetonian host with you every step of the way, getting you acquainted with the ins and outs of the city, where to get your hands on great food (and wine), and how to get around.

No one likes looking like a tourist on their first trip to a new city, so skip that step completely as you weave your way through Cape Town and get to know its personality - you’ll feel like a local in no time, we promise.

Your host would love to share with you their favorite places to eat, hang out and explore, and make recommendations for the rest of your trip so you can continue to explore the city through an inspiring lens.

    I am so lucky to have found one of the best tour guides in all of Cape Town. An intelligent family man who will make your trip so special, it was such an enjoyable and flexible experience. This tour created core memories and I can’t wait to come back and tour with this same service again!

    We did a 2 hour walking tour with Antonia. She was an excellent guide and provided us with an insightful guide to her city, Bologna. We loved our tour of the food market with her.

    Kalid arrived early and got us started with the observation deck of our hotel which was included with the tour. He was flexible, communicated the history of the city and all sites visited with candid honesty, personal relevance and great respect for the Japanese democracy, culture and way of life. Our tour was action packed with information from beginning to end, with information delivered at a pace we were willing to consume it and relevant to the sites we visited. I highly recommend Kalid, as someone who can relate to the information curious tourist as myself are seaking, and now a resident who has educated himself on the history of Japan! Kalid, thanks for the excellent job you did today! All of the personal touches you added to today's tour, were invaluable!
