Experience the best of
Cape Town with Withlocals

"Thank you so much to Sebastian! We were so thankful for our time with him. He was a wealth of knowledge and incredibly accommodating when our schedule was delayed with travel mishaps. Could not recommend more and hope you get a chance to experience such a lovely tour!"

"Our family had a great day with Trevor seeing the penguins and enjoying the whale watching boat tour - we even saw a pod of over 800 dolphins! Definitely recommend this all day tour. Trevor is a great guide with a lot of local knowledge. "

"Sebastian was a fantastic guide and gave us a great overview on the city tour. I really appreciated his follow up after the tour with several recommendations for the rest of our trip! "

"Rushdi took our family on a tour through history. He knew a lot, had interest in all of us and showed us the Castle of Good Hope, a local foodmarket, Bo Kaap etc. Very pleasant! Thank you Rushdi!"

"Gilbert was phenomenal. His knowledge of Cape Town and South Africa’s history and culture is incredible - he brought every site to life with stories, context, and passion. We learned so much and saw the city in a whole new way. He’s engaging, patient, and answered every question with real insight. If you want to understand the real Cape Town beyond the surface, book Gilbert. Highly recommend!"

"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. "
