Experience the best of
Republic of South Africa with Withlocals

"Sebastian was an awesome leader with a deep understanding of local history and culture, and seems to be friends with more than half of Cape Town. He was not afraid to talk about difficult subjects and interjected his own personal experiences and family history to give us a richer view of what it means to be South African, and he did it all with charm and kindness. "

"Elizabeth was a delight. She even picked us up at the cruise terminal a day early to take us to table mountain as the weather was going to be bad the following day that we had booked. She knew so much history about Cape Town and was a pleasure to spend a day and a half with. She made sure we could get to everything that we could do and gave excellent ideas to keep us safe."

"Fantastic tour with Chris. The food was great (and lots of it !), but made even better by Chris’ explanations of the background and history behind each of the dishes. We did this tour day 1 in Cape Town and it was a great introduction to the City and its history. Thank you Christopher"

"Gilbert is a star. So knowledgeable and such a great introduction to tbe food, people and history of Cape Town. Dis this on our first day and gave us so much information and tips to take us through our stay. "

"We took Get Local’s "10 Tastes of Cape Town" with Gilbert and it was a highlight of our three-week South Africa trip. Gilbert is an exceptionally experienced guide who shared fascinating insights about the country's history, development, and culture—details you won't find in any guidebook. The food was fantastic and wonderfully varied, and the venues were perfectly chosen. Highly recommend this tour and Gilbert to anyone wanting an authentic, memorable taste of Cape Town. "

"My wife and I had the pleasure of having Sebastian as our tour guide on a 4 hours trip in Cape Town. Sebastian gave us a tour where we saw and heard exactly what we needed about Cape Town. Sebastian is a great guide and person. We can only give him our best recommendations. "

"Theo gave us a fantastic day - his local knowledge was great and was extremely warm and welcoming and happy to adjust the day to suit us. Thanks Theo"

"Gilbert sent us Meetingpoint and a picture of him, so it was really easy to meet. Gilbert is very friendly and knowledgeable. He adjusted the tour to our interests and we got to know the development and history of woodstock. He showed us examples and the time with him flew by with a wink of an eye. Thank you Gilbert and please carry on to educate the african youth/ people ! We can definitely recommend a tour with you!"

"We learned so much — not only about South Africa’s history in general, but especially about the history of District 6 and the Woodstock area. His knowledge and the way he shares these stories give real depth and understanding to the places you visit. It was honestly a highlight of our trip so far. With Gilbert, every interaction, conversation, and encounter feels genuine and heartfelt. He showed us things we would never have discovered on our own if we had tried to explore these areas without a guide. Gilbert is doing incredibly important work by telling the stories of the hardships and injustices that still affect the people living in these communities today. We truly couldn’t have wished for a better day. "

"Our family of four had the best time with Rushdi. He was friendly, very informative and patient with our kids. He made sure that all our points of interest were covered. We really appreciate Rushdi going above and beyond when we discovered a booking mistake on our end and he was still able to work with our schedule and still be our tour guide. We have a much better understanding of Cape Town and its history because of Rushdi. Highly recommend Rushdi to anyone looking for a tour guide in Cape Town!"
