Experience tomorrow the best of
Cape Town with Withlocals

"Our first full day in Cape Town couldn\u2019t have started better than with Gilbert and his incredible 10 Tastings of Cape Town tour. From the moment he greeted us with chilled bottles of water, his energy and warmth set the tone for an exceptional experience.\n\nThe tour was choreographed perfectly \u2014 a delicious and insightful journey through the historical tapestry of the city, where food truly lies at the heart of it all. We tasted local specialties, met passionate small business owners, and learned about the real challenges and changes shaping their communities.\n\nGilbert\u2019s knowledge of Cape Town \u2014 and indeed, the wider world \u2014 is phenomenal. What makes him stand out is his authenticity; this isn\u2019t a script, it\u2019s storytelling from the heart. He effortlessly wove in impromptu moments and local encounters that brought the city to life in a way that felt deeply personal and genuine.\n\nWe\u2019ve done many city tours around the world, but this one was something truly special. Gilbert has a rare gift for connection, turning a walking tour into an experience that lingers long after it ends.\n\nHighly recommended \u2014 book this at the start of your Cape Town visit! The insights, local tips, and hidden gems Gilbert shares will enrich the rest of your stay."

"A very informative tour of Cape Town by Sebastian. As a native of the city, he has an impressive knowledge of South African history, especially that of Cape Town. He explains it clearly and connects the past with the present and future of this beautiful country and city. Sebastian has a nuanced and engaging way of relating history to today\u2019s realities. Of course, he also shows you all the most beautiful spots in the city. And last but not least, he has a great sense of humour. In short, a tour of Cape Town with Sebastian is highly recommended!"

"I can highly recommend going on tour with Sebastian. He cares and knows a lot about history and social developments and is a great story teller."

"We had a wonderful tour with Christopher! He brought the history of Cape Town and South Africa to life in such a clear and engaging way, weaving together stories that made us truly understand the country\u2019s past and its culture today. His knowledge is deep, but he explains things in a way that\u2019s easy to follow and very meaningful.\n\nWhat we really appreciated is how he connected the places we visited with the bigger picture of South Africa\u2019s history it made the experience so much richer than just sightseeing. We walked away not only with beautiful memories but also with a deeper appreciation of Cape Town\u2019s unique story.\n"

"We had such an amazing experience on the food tour with Gilbert! He made the day not only delicious but also meaningful with his rich explanations about the food, culture, and traditions. What really stood out was how flexible and accommodating he was, even with our last-minute changes everything flowed so smoothly thanks to him.\n\nGilbert also showed a lot of thoughtfulness: he ensured that no food went to waste and instead shared what was left with those in need. That gesture added a beautiful, human touch to the whole experience. We left the tour feeling full, happy, and grateful both for the food and for the values that Gilbert brought to the table."

"Gilbert was an excellent guide not only for the taking us to small local eateries to try the food of the local people, but more importantly he explained the social and political history with great passion and after the tour was finished it left us with a much better understanding of Cape Town that you don't get elsewhere. Thank you for that much needed education. Oh and you don't leave feeling hungry that is for sure!!"

"Gilbert was fabulous. The moment we booked - the interaction was excellent. Gilbert was personable and knowledgeable. Make sure you arrive hungry as there were lots of foods stops mixed in with local history and personal stories. Gilbert has an easy going charm which made us feel at ease and comfortable. "
