"Buletani was smart, knowledgeable and took us to the key sights we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend him as a Capetown guide to anyone visiting and wanting to see the key sights as well as learn the history"

"The Bo Kaap Cape Malay Food and Culture Walk with Bulelani was one of the highlights of my time in South Africa. Bulelani is an amazing guide—not only because he knows the food and culture of Cape Town, but because he brings the city to life. He took me to places that most tourists would probably never find, or might simply walk right past. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories about Cape Town’s history and culture, from government buildings and the city park to art galleries and even a piece of the Berlin Wall. But what really makes Bulelani special is Bulelani himself. He has a magnetic personality, a big, unforgettable smile, and an obvious pride in his country that made me proud to be there, too. And he has a wonderful way of introducing you not just to Cape Town, but to the people who make the city what it is. I had just come from Johannesburg, where I was repeatedly warned about how dangerous the city was. As a result, I was initially reluctant to walk around Cape Town on my own. But having Bulelani by my side completely changed my perspective. I discovered that Cape Town is NOT Johannesburg, and I now feel comfortable returning to many of the places he introduced me to on my own. If you want to understand South Africa beyond the typical tourist experience, I highly recommend spending time with Bulelani on this fantastic tour. He will open your eyes to the food, culture, history, and people of Cape Town—and you'll leave seeing the city in an entirely different way. Thank you, Bulelani, for showing me your Cape Town! "

"Fantastic tour with Chris. The food was great (and lots of it !), but made even better by Chris’ explanations of the background and history behind each of the dishes. We did this tour day 1 in Cape Town and it was a great introduction to the City and its history. Thank you Christopher"

"Gilbert is a star. So knowledgeable and such a great introduction to tbe food, people and history of Cape Town. Dis this on our first day and gave us so much information and tips to take us through our stay. "

"We took Get Local’s "10 Tastes of Cape Town" with Gilbert and it was a highlight of our three-week South Africa trip. Gilbert is an exceptionally experienced guide who shared fascinating insights about the country's history, development, and culture—details you won't find in any guidebook. The food was fantastic and wonderfully varied, and the venues were perfectly chosen. Highly recommend this tour and Gilbert to anyone wanting an authentic, memorable taste of Cape Town. "

"We had a great time with Trevor. He gave us an insightful guide to the City and its history. We enjoyed his company and the discussions about Cape Town's development. Starting with it's key position in the trade between East & West right up to current times. The stops for refreshments along the way were great - a coffee shop with a difference, food influenced by the Cape Malay and of course South African wine! "

"We had a fantastic tour with Trevor in Cape Town. We started at the Town Hall, next stop was the Castle with a great explanation of the history of Cape Town, made our way through the Gardens, and enjoyed a very local and delicious Malay lunch in Bo-Kaap. The tour ended perfectly at a great wine bar with a chilled Chenin Blanc. Trevor has an incredible amount of knowledge, shared with lots of fun facts along the way, and he’s genuinely a very fun and engaging person to be around. Highly recommended!"

"Wonderful experience of the hidden Cape Town Gilbert took us from postoffice turned food hall, through shebeens and fancy chocolate bars into little private museums and hotels - who just hid a tiny bit of the city’s history. All along sharing his own experience of the city and the city history "

"Chris was an amazing guide, who firstly was very patient and understanding that we were running late with my aunt being under the weather. He was also very accommodating with the tailoring the tour to us and dealing with my endless questions! It was an informative tour but one full of laughs and have a taste to Cape Town. I couldn't recommend Chris more!"

"We had an amazing walking tour in Cape Town with Gilbert - an incredibly knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot about the city, its people, living conditions and history. All explained in an engaging and thoughtful way. The food experiences along the route were exciting and delicious, giving a great insight into the local culture. Highly recommended!"
