What you’ll do

You’ll follow your host as they lead you on a journey through the Mother City, and we guarantee you’ll soon see why locals proudly think their city is the most beautiful in the world.

Of course, we’d be lying if we said you could discover all of Cape Town’s must-sees in just a day, but your local Cape Town host will share with you as much as they can of what makes their city so unique.

Enticed by big city lights and cosmopolitan cafe culture, or do you see yourself on the beaches of the southern peninsula, soaking up the laid-back lifestyle? Our hosts have always got time for good food, so just let us know what you’d like to try from the city’s diverse and eclectic food scene.

There are so many spectacular hikes, pristine beaches, historic streets, and dreamy vineyards to experience that you couldn’t see it all in a day - but you can sure try.

    We had the most wonderful Tour with Ana Maria and saw so many things we'd never found without her. Thank you for this amazing day.

    A day with Shintaro is a day spent with a long-time friend. Before the tour began he suggested common places to visit to tailor the tour to our interests. Instead of visiting the typical tourist areas, we requested to see the city from his perspective as someone who knows it intimately. Great decision. Shintaro guided us down the back streets, where we discussed the similarities and differences between New York and Tokyo and how Tokyo has grown over time. He thoughtfully answered the myriad questions that came to mind and engaged us with his own. We stopped at a busy coffee shop and experienced street-side food. For dinner, Shintaro took us to an off-the-path authentic Tokyo restaurant and ordered the best items on the menu. We talked a bit about music, and he told us about a party he was headed to afterward and invited us to join him. Once the tour ended, we didn't just part ways. Shintaro took us to an underground techno music scene, where he introduced us and showed us around. It was a unique experience that only a local guide with his background can provide. What an incredible day.
