An In-Depth Travel Guide to Cape Town (Updated 2025)
"We kicked off our visit with a free walking tour, which was the best way to learn the main sights, pick up local history, and get recommendations from an expert guide — just remember to tip at the end since that’s how guides make their living." - Matthew Kepnes
Cedric was a very informative and knowledgeable guide. Bo-Kaap is such a stunning neighbourhood with an immense amount of rich history - not only about Cape Malay culture, but also many hidden gems related to Afrikaans culture and South Africa as a whole. The tour was truly eye-opening and offered a depth of context and storytelling that you don’t get from simply exploring on your own. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to understand Cape Town beyond the surface.
The only point of improvement would be to walk more given it’s a walking tour haha, there was a lot of standing in one place and we felt we could have seen more places!

What an awesome guide and experience! Troy made our tour so much fun, he was super accommodating and polite, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed.
It honestly felt like our own private adventure, with his personal insights and that great sense of humor keeping everyone laughing the whole time!
Can't recommend Troy enough for an unforgettable outing!

We went on the Historic City and Bo Kaap Tours. Both were great but Bo Kaap with very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide Cameron was particularly interesting! A great way to spend a couple of hours to learn about the city and get some local tips.

We did the 9:30 Bo-Kaap tour and the 11:00 Apartheid Tour with Tim and it was great! Not only did he know a lot of historical facts and stories about the history of Cape Town, but as a contemporary witness and growing up as a white ZA under the Apartheid, he was able to vividly explain everything going on at that time.
Overall 10/10 highly recommended

I completed two tours on the same day: "Bo-Kaap" and "History City" and the guide was Myles. He was amazing. I had never done a walking tour, but this is an excellent way to visit historic parts of Cape Town that may be not be safe enough to go alone. 100% recommended.
