Such a grear guide and tour
"What a brilliant afternoon with Gilbert showing us the ‘off the beaten track’ tour. He’s was entertaining and very educational and we saw and learnt things we just wouldn’t have discovered on our own.
I won’t ruin some of the places he took us but it definitely was as hidden parts of the city we wouldn’t have discovered on our own.
Book with Gilbert if you can. I think he does other routes too."
"Wonderful experience of the hidden Cape Town Gilbert took us from postoffice turned food hall, through shebeens and fancy chocolate bars into little private museums and hotels - who just hid a tiny bit of the city’s history. All along sharing his own experience of the city and the city history "

"Chris was an amazing guide, who firstly was very patient and understanding that we were running late with my aunt being under the weather. He was also very accommodating with the tailoring the tour to us and dealing with my endless questions! It was an informative tour but one full of laughs and have a taste to Cape Town. I couldn't recommend Chris more!"
