Local hosts leading the way

From the iconic Castle of Good Hope keeping watch over the city to eclectic Long Street’s colorful bars and boutiques, it’s easy to get distracted by Cape Town’s iconic sights. But on private walking tours in Cape Town with our local guides, you’ll learn that the city has so much more to offer than the tourist traps. On our walking tours of Cape Town, locals take the reins – and they know the city better than a guidebook ever could. From hidden neighborhood markets to hole-in-the-wall restaurants serving Cape Malay cuisine, we’ll help you uncover secrets few travelers ever do.

Taking the road less traveled

Anyone with Google, a guidebook, and a comfortable pair of sneakers can spend a day exploring the busy main streets of the buzzing CBD, where most of the city’s top attractions congregate.
