Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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."
"We had a great day exploring Stellenbosch with Trevor. He took us to some hidden gems and was so knowledgeable about the area. We never felt rushed and were able to explore at our pace and have input into the stops. Trevor was super friendly and we left as friends. Highly recommend doing a tour with Trevor!"
"A tour of District 6 and Cape Town City Center with Gilbert. We had a wonderful day with Gilbert, who not only showed us the many facets of his city but also what makes its people special. He told us about the past and present and took us to places we would never have seen without him. Thank you, Gilbert, also for every little refreshment and the treats on this hot day. It was fantastic, and we highly recommend a tour with Gilbert."
"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!"
"Our tour with Sebastian was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Cape Town! He's incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. We learned so much about the city's history and its people. I highly recommend booking a tour with Sebastian, and if we ever return, we’ll definitely book with him again!"
