Reviews
Dylan, our guide, was punctual, friendly, and generous with anecdotes. Highly knowledgeable, he was able to answer all of our questions with ease. The tour took us through various streets of the Malay Quarter, where we admired the neighborhood’s unique architecture, before ending with a stop in Bo-Kaap, known for its colorful facades, where we enjoyed a sweet treat. We gained a deep understanding of South African culture and history, and we are very happy with this experience.
Efficient and informative 2 hr walking trip in town. Great communication with organising agency, Travel Africa Right. Our guide, Qonda, was knowledgeable and engaging. Be prepared to walk through town. Tour ends @ Bo Kaap. Highly recommended for a concise and safe visit to town.
I would say this is tooooo worth to join it. as the security in Cape down in the eastern part is a concern, we normally just stay around the area of V&A waterfront. this is absolutely a increadible chance for us to explore the deeper part in the Cape Town. the guide is frdly and knowledgeable and know many ppl. :) and they let us enjoy a cake in the last spot for free! 🥹🤍
Dylan was so friendly and knowledgeable, but more than that, his passion for the subject matter and the area we toured shone throughout. First rate tour!
