Perfect combination of city sights and history - We don't think there's a better way of enjoying a city's sights than doing a walking tour, specially if your guide is as knowledgeable and charismatic as Dylan. He told us a lot about Cape Town's history and even treated us to a delicious Koesister.

The best introduction to Capetown - This is undoubtedly the best introduction to Capetown. Terence loves his city and knows it well. He shares his information and passion with visitors . The walk and talk are a truly great way to connect to Capetown

Great tour, great guide! - This was a terrific tour. We had been to Cape Town before but not seen many parts of the city . And Dylan was an amazing guide - really well informed, happy to answer any questions and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours which was for us the perfect timing. I would recommend this tour highly to anyone interested in Cape Town and its history.

Colorful Bo-Cape tour - Sam Jones explained to us with commitment and enthusiasm the history of South Africa and especially the Bo-Kasp district, in all detail, no question was too much for him. Highly recommended!

Relaxed walking tour that helped us explore Cape Town, learn its story, and enjoy the city together. - Awesome experience. We really enjoyed the Cape Town walking tour as a couple. It was relaxed, informative, and gave us a good feel for the city without being rushed. The guide shared interesting stories and pointed out places we probably would’ve walked past on our own. It was an easy, pleasant way to explore Cape Town together and we’d definitely recommend it to other couples looking for something simple and worthwhile.
