Essential Free walking tours of Cape Town

Really nice overview regarding the city and its beauty! The best start you can get when you come to CT! Many thanks, been really cool.

The tour was great. Very interesting, very historical and political. Rubin answered to all our questions (which made the tour longer). We wished we could have learned more about Rubin :)

I really enjoyed visiting Bo-Kaap with Nathan as a guide. He provided lots of information on the area and the history of Cape Town. He is patient, kind and ready to answer or clarify any questions you might have about the walking tour. You will definetely be in good hands. Thank you for making this solo traveler feel welcome in your beautiful city!

Huge thanks to Myles for an unforgettable time. His deep roots in Hout Bay shine through in every story. He doesn't just show you the sights; he explains the history, geography, and soul of the place. Insightful, educational, and genuinely local. A 5 star experience from a true Hout Bay expert Thank you, Myles, for a memorable time. I can’t recommend him enough!

Very much recommended if you are into history

It was a great tour with Buki, she shared a lot of interesting information and helped me understand the cuty better. Thanks

Ich war der einzige Teilnehmer und habe mich auch noch verspätet. Trotzdem hat die Tour in vollem Umfang stattgefunden.

The tour was great and I really appreciated the pace and contribution from the host!

Arnold es una persona maravillosa, con muy buenos valores que transmite junto a su pasión por su trabajo. Ha sido un honor descubrir más de esta ciudad de la mano de un local con tanto amor. Fue una experiencia súper agradable en la que nos sentimos muy cómodos. Este país tiene una larga historia que debemos conocer y honrar y gente como Arnold nos ayuda a ello.

We had a very interesting tour through Cape Town with Bukiwe - thank you so much for sharing insights on the cities history. :)

Buki was very nice and entertaining to listen. She offered us a beautiful and long tour in which she walked us through the most important parts of the center. She always added interesting information about each place we visited and was very polite and patient to us :)

Leisurely interactive informative tour.

Cyprian was absolutely fantastic. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate, explaining everything in an engaging and easy-to-follow way. He encouraged lots of questions throughout - and somehow always had the answer! He also made sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time, which really allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience. The tour was informative, well-paced, and genuinely interesting. We’d highly recommend booking a walking tour with Cyprian in Cape Town!

Nathan is extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. He was also very accommodating, patient and helpful!! I definitely recommend this tour if you’re in Cape Town. I loved the places I saw in the tour!

Want to understand history through the eyes of someone who actually lived it? This tour is exactly that. Rubin, a true Capetonian, takes you through the city streets where history unfolded, explaining South Africa’s journey from communism-era influences and apartheid to democracy in a deeply personal and authentic way. What makes the experience special is not only the historical knowledge, but also Rubin’s own life stories and experiences over the past 70 years, which bring the events to life. We absolutely loved the tour. Thank you, Rubin, for sharing your stories and for your patience in answering all our questions. A truly memorable and human experience of Cape Town’s history.

He was just excellent with all his knowledge and expertise

Nathan was very nice guide, he explained everything, was very cordial and friendly. Hi recommend.

El tour fue más corto de lo esperado y podría haber profundizado más en algunos temas. También es importante siempre tratar de estar ubicado de cara a los clientes.

Nice interesting tour, changed slightly to our interests.

This was such an interesting tour. Rushdi had such an engaging way of telling you about the history and culture. He brought a personal touch to the tour. I’d recommend it to everyone. I learnt a lot and he has encouraged me to find out and understand about South Africa. Thank you so much Rushdi!

Die Tour war sehr informativ. Rushdie ist ein sehr professioneller Guide, die Tour insgesamt kurzweilig mit vielen Hintergrundinformationen. 100% Empfehlung!

Bukiwe é stata molto attenta a fornirci informazioni chiare e dettagliate dei luoghi più caratteristici che abbiamo visitato. Senza di lei, alcuni luoghi più nascosti sarebbero passati inosservati. Molto comodo per avere un primo contatto con la città !

Rushdie took time to give context and explain sometimes complex layers of history. He was enthusiastic and engaging, and wanted to ensure we were given the right amount of information without just spouting times dates and events. We learned a lot in a short time. Excellent couple of hours. 👍

Muy profesional y educado Culto

Great tour with many historical facts and beautiful buildings
