Experience Food Tours in Cape Town with Withlocals

"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!"

"Gilbert was an excellent guide not only for the taking us to small local eateries to try the food of the local people, but more importantly he explained the social and political history with great passion and after the tour was finished it left us with a much better understanding of Cape Town that you don't get elsewhere. Thank you for that much needed education. Oh and you don't leave feeling hungry that is for sure!!"

"Gilbert was fabulous. The moment we booked - the interaction was excellent. Gilbert was personable and knowledgeable. Make sure you arrive hungry as there were lots of foods stops mixed in with local history and personal stories. Gilbert has an easy going charm which made us feel at ease and comfortable. "

"Our family (parents plus 17 year old and 10 year old daughters) spent our first afternoon in Cape Town walking and eating and learning with Christopher on the 10 Tastings of Cape Town experience. It was a great way to start our time in South Africa. Right up front, Chris told us that there were no questions or topics that would be off-limits, and we really enjoyed our few hours with him. We ate some wonderful food and learned about the culinary and cultural melting pot that is Cape Town, as well as a lot more about South African history. He arranged vegetarian food for us, which was delicious. We sampled Cape Malay food in addition to some Dutch derived goodies and traditional foods. "

"We had an amazing tour with Gilbert, perfect for our first day in Capetown! We were introduced to many local food specialties including bunny chow, chakalaka, rooibos tea, the famous gatsby sandwich and more. Come hungry!! \n\nGilbert was incredibly generous with his time, showed us many of the city sights and gave us a huge dose of South African history\u2026from the Dutch East Indian Company to the Boer wars to how apartheid and its racial classifications impacted his family and the local communities, leaving a legacy that continues to shape politics and socioeconomic conditions today. \n\nWe highly recommend Gilbert as a fantastic guide for any kind of Capetown tour! "

"Gilbert was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to hidden gems in the city that we would never have discovered on our own. The variety of local dishes we sampled were amazing, and the insights into the culture and history of each location made the experience even more enriching. If you're looking for a unique way to explore Cape Town, I highly recommend this tour!"

"We had a wonderful few hours with Bulelani who was a brilliant guide getting us to chomp our way under the skin of cape town. An excellent mix of history and modern culture while also being great company. Highly recommended. "

"Gilbert was fantastic. We asked to start our tour late in the day as our plane landed at midday. He accommodated us and made sure we still had the full experience. We had amazing local delights, some of which had even been made by Gilbert himself. Some places we went stayed open late to feed us, all arranged in advance. On top of the food we learned everything we could about the city, the culture and history of Cape Town. We certainly didn\u2019t go hungry and were even able to support the locals in need with our leftovers. A highly recommended tour."
