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.

    We were so delighted with our day with Olan, there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. He was so knowledgeable!! He was happy to accommodate all of our requests and he was flexible whilst we were on our tour. I would have no hesitation in recommending Olan. A great guide and a lovely person.

    Our guide was patient, and knowledgable. She was fun and a great teacher. We enjoyed our afternoon very much and would book her again next year.

    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!
