More than just a food tour! - We did the 10 tastings food tour on our first full day in Cape Town. This was certainly more than just a food tour. Gilbert was a wonderful guide that included the history of the city as well. We were able to experience where the locals eat and learn about the culture and history of the foods we were trying. We learned SO much and appreciated the extra time Gilbert gave us as we made our way to the waterfront. I would 100% recommend Gilbert has a tour guide and this tour!!

More than a food tour! - Parinita was wonderful! She answered all of my questions and I had a lot, lol! It’s more than a just a food tour, we learned so much about the city of Cape Town and have a new appreciation for their harrowing journey to democracy. The East African cuisine was my favorite part!!

Extraordinary experience - It was really a very interesting and informative tour. You can also see Cape Town from a different side and Bulelani has been able to tell us a lot about the history of Cape Town. You should definitely come hungry because you will definitely get fed up. We can really recommend the tour to everyone who is open to other cultures and not just the tourist spots. Thanks for the experience:)!

So much more than delicious food! - The food tour was an absolute delight!! Aside from delicious food, we learned about local history, South Africa’s rich cultural tapestry, current issues, and so much more. We would have never discovered the restaurants or learned what we did without a local guide. Highly recommend the tour!

A must do tour - This tour is what we want. A day spent around historical and sightseeing in the heart of Cape Town with delicious food. The weather was nice during our walk. We are glad booked this tour because without the guide, we don't think we can go through some streets and areas, because it not that safe.

Food Tour - We did the 10 tastings food tour on our first day in Cape Town. It was the perfect introduction to the city. We could not have had a better guide than Gilbert, who not only explained the different types of food and it's history, but also gave interesting insights into the history & culture of the city without making it 'boring' for my daughter! I would 100% recommend Gilbert has a tour guide and this tour for those interested in trying proper local food that you won't get in the usual restaurants.

Great Grub with Gilbert - We had a wonderful time with Gilbert! He introduced us to local food spots that truly only someone born here would know. We felt like we were in the cool kids club being shown the city by someone who knew everyone we passed. We also really enjoyed learning about the recent history of South Africa from a personal perspective. Plus the food was all great. Thank you Gilbert!!

Gilbert was GREAT! - Gilbert was amazing and so very personable! He took us to some wonderful places that we would have never found on our own. He shared special things about Cape Town that we had no idea happened or exsisted. And, he had so many personal, family stories to share that made the experience special. Oh - and there was sooo much yummy food! We are hoping to go on another tour with Gilbert!
