A must in Cape Town!
"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!"

Fantastic experience
"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. "

Perfect combi - Food and sights
"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’t go hungry and were even able to support the locals in need with our leftovers. A highly recommended tour."

An amazing day
"We arrived late in Cape town, and Gilbert accommodated us, even meeting us on the side of the road to find parking as we drop in from the airport. It was an amazing day, learning all the history and the food was really tasty. Thanks for sharing your wonderful history with us. God bless, Clint and Louise. "

Great tour with Gilbert!
"The food tour with Gilbert was exactly what we were looking for. The combination of history and food was perfect. We really enjoyed the combination of South African and Indian food and we learned a lot about different types of South African food. His discussions of South African history were very informative. We would recommend Gilbert to everyone."

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!"

Exceptional Guide: Above & Beyond
"I recently had the pleasure of touring with Gilbert, and it was an outstanding experience. Gilbert was incredibly informative, providing in-depth knowledge and fascinating insights about every location we visited. Their professionalism was evident throughout, from their punctuality to their respectful and engaging manner. What truly set Gilbert apart was their willingness to go above and beyond. They tailored the tour to our interests, answered all our questions with enthusiasm, and even offered additional recommendations to enhance our visit. Gilbert made our trip memorable and enriching. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a top-notch local guide."
