Fabulous!
"Gilbert was amazing and so very personable! He took us to some wonderful places that we would have never found on our own. He shared special things about Cape Town that we had no idea happened or exsisted. And, he had so many personal, family stories to share that made the experience special. Oh - and there was sooo much yummy food! We are hoping to go on another tour with Gilbert!"

Great Stories and Food
"We loved our customised and private afternoon tastings tour with the wonderful Gilbert. Along with tasting some great food we got to see parts of the city that we would not have gone to without this tour. Gilbert's storytelling took us on a journey through Cape Town and African history, illustrated with city sights and food. Gilbert was fun to be with, made sure that we were looked after and that all of our food needs were met. This is a must do when in Cape Town. Hint - have a light breakfast and don't have lunch! Thank you Gilbert for a great and memorable experience. Cheers Jason and Stephen."

Culture and Foodie Tour
"Amazing afternoon with Gilbert! He met us as planned, got to know our family and immediately started talking about the history. As we walked around the city, Gilbert was sure to point out unique buildings and landscapes, all while sharing us how things have emerged. If we were to walk around on our own, we would surly have missed so much of the culture and history! This was a welcomed experience for our entire family. Even our kids, ages 13 and 10, came away with a unique knowledge of CapeTown and South African history…as well as experiencing all the yummy local food!"
