"According to our group of 7 young men, interested in history and culture, Theo knew a lot, took them to various sites and answered all their questions. Would highly recommend him. Thank you Theo! Till we meet again!"
"Sebastian was an outstanding guide — extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about his city. He introduced us to Cape Town’s fascinating history and gave us fantastic insider tips for the rest of our trip. Even after the tour, he stayed in touch and shared more great recommendations. Thanks to him, we have unforgettable days. Highly recommended!"

"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. "
"Today we had a great Tour with Gilbert. It was our first visit to Capetown (and to South Africa in general). We arrived this morning from Germany and have two days In the course of a cruise. So Gilbert picked us up at the cruise terminal. He then walked us through capetown with a great knowledge of the history of this great city, its important points of interest (geographically and historically) and the history itself. We learned how the city grew and evolved through the time, the people who lived and lives here, the apartheid and how it affects the people still today. If you ever visit capetown, book a tour with Gilbert. It was the best choice to see and learn of the city in the Short amount of time we have here. You will not regret it. Best of wishes for you Gilbert, Christiane, Sabrina and Kim"
"What a wonderful experience we had in Cape Town with Rushdi as our guide. His insights into the city’s history gave us such a meaningful picture of not just how it was, but also why it is what it is now. And he did it all with humour, patience and a clear desire to understand what we would want to know and see. He gave us good recommendations and top tips for the rest of our stay. We really had a great time. We would absolutely recommend him as your Cape Town guide. "
"Our tour with Gilbert was fantastic! He is personable and extremely knowledgeable. Hearing history from a local provided fascinating insights and a broader understanding of Cape Town’s complex transformation over the years. We were able to see and experience things off the beaten track. For example, we saw a wide array of street art that was beautiful and fascinating. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn more about Cape Town!"
"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’s 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."
