Experience City Tours in Cape Town with Withlocals

"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"

"WOW! Trevor did an outstanding job on a private tour showing us Capetown and providing running commentary and history. His depth of knowledge as a lifetime resident was obvious, as was his enthusiasm and interest in making sure we had a great tour.\n\nHIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"Sebastian was knowledgeable, personable and professional. He imparted a lot of information on the history of Cape Town \u2013 much of which we had not known - in an accessible way. Sebastian has a great sense of humour which helped keep things light. We walked and drove and he pointed out many details along the way which we would never have noticed. He was punctual and courteous and always mindful of our surroundings keeping us at ease.\nHe kindly dropped us off at the Waterfront and followed up by sending us recommendations for restaurants going over and above what we expected. A great guide that we would highly recommend to others. \n"

"Theo is fabulous. He is passionate about the history of his home, and is easily able to transmit this passion to his guests. We learned so much, and it was so enjoyable, too!\n\nWe highly recommend Theo!"

"We started later than the designated time so Gilbert suggested we see the Mandela exhibit at City Hall. And rather than dashing off, he was generous enough of his time to allow us to take a quick walk through a wonderfully curated short exhibit of Mandela and his years in Cape Town. \n\nBut that set the stage for the rest of the tour. Gilbert shared his personal story of his family and how they were displaced from District 6 and resettled in the Townships being offered for relocation. \n\nGilbert shared vintage photographs of the District and overlaid where appropriate what stood at which spot and how the area is being rebuilt. \n\nThe transition into Woodstock was an eye opener. Both from the beautiful street art work and the history of the neighborhood. \n\nWe ended the tour on a different note. \nHaving been to the Old Biscuit Mill, Gilbert offered to walk us to Observation. An area undergoing gentrification and with a totally different vibe. \n\nWe said goodbye with him recommending a restaurant for lunch for us. A badly needed respite from all that walking. \n\nCertainly a very entertaining afternoon. Something we\u2019d never have done on our own and we leave richer, knowing more of the history and background of Cape Town. "
