Excellent - Excellent guide, Parinita, with great knowledge of Cape Town past and present. Very friendly and easy to get on with. She tailored our tour to our requirements and took us to several places we wouldn’t normally have gone to. Highly recommended.

Great experience with Withlocals in Cape Town - We had a great experience with Withlocals in Cape Town, led by our wonderful host Trevor. The tour struck a perfect balance between well-known highlights and hidden gems, giving us a real feel for the city beyond the usual sights. Along the way, we stopped for a delicious local snack, which added a nice authentic touch to the experience. Trevor was extremely knowledgeable, shared lots of interesting insights and fun facts, and made the tour both engaging and relaxed with his great personality. This is exactly what we expect from Withlocals: local expertise, authentic experiences, and hosts who truly bring a destination to life. Highly recommended!

Super Guide Sebastian - We did our tour with Sebastian! He was great and with his profound knowledge of the history of Cape Town and South Africa he introduced us to the realities. He supplemented his narratives with private events. That was particularly interesting! He is a great narrator and I can recommend him 300%

Local Guide, Great Tour - Theo was a fantastic guide! We had a great tour and it was even more wonderful because we were able to hear Theo’s experience growing up in Cape Town. We saw the Castle of Good Hope, stopped at some awesome shops, and extended our tour to visit the Langa township. Theo also introduced us to the masala steak gatsby which is a must try when in Cape Town!

If you'd rather go further afield or by car, ask for Nathan! - Nathan and his wife were my guides. He drove me around the city he loves and is utterly passionate about. Really appreciated his accommodation of my floral photo stop requests!

Great insight into Cape Town - Very interesting visit around Cape Town including the castle, parliament buildings, community gardens and all sorts of buildings and streets which brought alive the history and some of the local colour. Karin was a very knowledgeable guide and very friendly and tailored to what we were most interested in. Good to read up a bit before the tour to be able to get the most out of the details and then to have time to follow up with a visit to one of the museums.

Walking Tour of Cape Town - This was a wonderful tour on our first full day in Cape Town. We got a feel for the city and learned a lot more about the history. We got good exercise with great exposure to many different areas. A great way to begin our vacation!

Great tour with Sebastian! - I learned much from Sebastian about the history of S. Africa. He shared some of his personal experience during some turbulent times, and how these experiences were culturally ingrained in young people. I enjoyed the castle visit. Sebastian was very attuned to our safety at all times. We also learned about great local food establishments. Thank you for a great afternoon, Sebastian!

Poor - This was excessive walking. Not recommended if it is too hot. We did not get the snack. The tour guide was hard to hear.
