Private & Personalized Tours in Cape Town with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Cape Town, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Cape Town spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Cape Town.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Cape Town, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Cape Town awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Cape Town, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Cape Town. Get ready to explore like a local!

Amazing! In every way.
"Elizabeth is an amazing guide, we had the best time thanks to her.
We already had great contact at home before our trip to South Africa
,loved that too. So you already feel a connection before you travel.
She really thinks with you about the places you want to see,
and has great tips about Cape Town and the surroundings.
She picks you up in her car and drives you everywhere.
You sit back and relax and listen to all her stories and knowledge.
Amazing wine tasting at gorgeous winelands in Stellenbosch,
Franschoek,
the pinguins at the beach,
Cape of Good Hope, Bo Kaap, nice lunch etc.
When we wanted to go to Table Mountain early in the morning,
the wind was too strong.
She changed our day together with us, and we got back to Table Mountain at sunset,
no wind, almost no people, not cold, and when the sun came down, it
was amazing.
You can drive it all by yourself, no problem, but we choose to be with a guide, the first few days. Great choice.
We took an Uber at night to go to restaurants, very good, and safe.
You don't need a car in Cape Town itself.
With our rental car we drove to Houtbay for a few nights, lovely area too.
She picked us up there also for a final day together.
If you want to feel looked after with a smile, pick Elizabeth and enjoy.
