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!

Great tour - It was our first day in Cape Town and Sebastian gave us a great tour. He shared many information on the city's history as well as of his family, and many tips useful for the upcoming days. He made us feel very safe and at ease the whole tour

See the City with the Friend you’ve always hoped would Show you around - Wow - What a delight to see so much of what this city has to offer. Our tour guide, Sebastian, was knowledgeable, fun and prioritized our safety as he showed us a mix of historical and cultural locations. The walk was delightful insight into the feelings and flavours of South Africa’s history and potential. Even after our tour, Sebastian was available (via WhatsApp) if we had questions or needed recommendations. This tour is a must-do for anyone who is curious and inspired to get to know a city on a personal-level.

Sebastian, a very friendly and very good tour guide - We were lucky to have Sebastian as our tour guide. It was very informative and interesting with him. We learned a lot about history of CT/SA and the life of today in CT/SA. We strongly recommend Sebastian as a tour guide, also because he has a very positive personality.

Short Tour - Tour lasted less than 4 hours. Castle of Good Hope was closed in preparation for the opening of parliament. Guide did not take us to Bo-kaap. In hindsight we should have spent more time at Slave Lodge since tour only lasted 2.5 hours.
