Experience tomorrow the best of
Cape Town with Withlocals

"We had a great afternoon with Gilbert. He arrived at the allotted time and place. We walked from the Old Town Hall towards District 6, dropping in on a cultural centre ( very interesting) on the way. Gilbert gave us excellent historical context to buildings and street art. He is a font of knowledge and answered all our questions. It became very clear that the sad history of District 6 clearance is very close to his heart as his own parents and grandparents used to live here. From District 6 we took an über to the areas of Woodstock and Saltriver where gentrification is setting in which became the topic. We would have never dared to visit these areas without Gilbert… and that would have been our great loss. Such interesting buildings and friendly people everywhere. A big thank you to you, Gilbert, for sharing this with us! Katja&Chris "

"We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It covers so much and provides a terrific overview of Cape Town and the history and culture. Sebastian is so well prepared and yet so casual and conversational. He’s very enjoyable to be with and does a great job introducing you to the city he clearly loves so much. "

"It was my first local tour and I had such a great time with Gilbert. He showed me some hidden gems and I learned a lot about SA history. He was able to customize my experience to my needs and I really felt I was safe and welcomed. I feel like I gained a friend and I will definitely book him again next time I visit. I also appreciated all the extra advice and suggestions he gave me to enjoy for the rest of my trip. "
