Marianne hat uns mit viel Freude sehr detailliert über die Geschichte und die Hintergründe des Bo Kaap informiert. Die Tour war spannend, wir durften von den mitgebrachten Süßigkeiten kosten und erfuhren auch einiges über das kapmalaische Essen. Ganz besonders war das kleine Handout, welches persönlich von Marianne zusammengestellt wurde mit speziellen Tipps einer Local ☺️. Ganz herzlichen Dank dafür und jederzeit gerne wieder eine Tour mit Dir.

Sheldon was an amazing guide! He knows a lot about Cape Town and its history. I really liked that he brought a book with printed pictures to help put things into context while explaining. Even though I was the only person on the tour, he still went ahead with it and gave me a very thorough and engaging experience. When we were in Bo-Kaap, locals kept stopping to greet him along the way, and it was clear that he makes an effort to build real connections with the community rather than just showing up to give tours. I think that makes a big difference when you're trying to understand a neighborhood and its culture. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. I highly recommend this tour!

Great tour of Bo-Kaap, passionate guy and his love for his community, family and heritage came through in spades. Highly recommend going with a local tour guide who knows the neighbourhood intimately. We found other groups would stop to listen to Ilyas when he was speaking. He was also extremely accommodating when we showed up with a stroller and 11 month old!

Excellent tour guide.

Rushdie has a wealth of knowledge about the history of South Africa and Cape Town. He was responsive to questions and offered may helpful suggestions about other things to see. We had a great lunch in an Eastern market he recommended and later got food from another market he showed us. Terrific!

Marianne, our guide, was a friendly bubbly individual with an amazing sense of humour. She obviously loves her country which is reflected in her in depth and knowledge of the area explored. At the end of the tour we were provided with a small booklet produced by Marianne with many insider tips on eateries and drinking establishments which we found extremely useful. If you only have a couple of spare hours to explore Bo-Kaap area made sure it is with Marianne. Thank you very much for a great morning.

Nathan had a wealth of knowledge both from his lived experience and research concerning central areas of Cape Town looking at the historical and social aspects. This necessarily touched the experiences of Apartheid and Post Apartheid periods. The tour finished with a visit to an NGO project helping homeless people which was a good contemporary ending

Rubin was a very nice tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows a lot about the history of South Africa and Cape Town. We enjoyed the tour a lot and for us it was better than expected. He really takes time to explain everything, answers questions and wants you to have a great experience. His English is very good and we would recommend the tour if you are interested in history and getting a good overview of the historical context of South Africa including Apartheid. Thank you Rubin!

We had a wonderful experience on the Free Walking Tour with Marianne in Cape Town and can highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city! From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and passionate about what she does. The tour was exceptionally informative and gave us a much deeper understanding of Cape Town, its fascinating history, its diverse cultures, and the stories behind the places we visited. Marianne explained everything in a very engaging and easy-to-understand way, combining historical facts with interesting anecdotes and personal insights. She made the history come alive and helped us see the city from a completely different perspective. What really stood out was her enthusiasm, her knowledge, and the way she connected with us. She took the time to explain things thoroughly, answered questions with genuine interest, and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the entire tour. It never felt like simply walking from one place to another or listening to a list of historical facts. Instead, it felt like discovering Cape Town with someone who truly loves the city and wants others to appreciate it just as much.

Marianne was a fabulous guide. She was very knowledgeable & safety conscious giving us a short briefing of how to stay safe in Cape Town. She gave us some great facts about the history of Cape Town & took us to some really interesting places. She is well known in the area & we spoke with a lovely man who lived through Apartheid in S/A & he told us his life story briefly! Very interesting guy & very friendly. If you want the best guide in town for Bo-Kaap… Marianne is your guide !! Excellent 10/10

One of THE BEST tip-based walking tours I’ve ever done, and I take one in every city I travel to! Marianne is extremely knowledgeable and well prepared, which coupled with her bubbly and colourful personality and delivery style makes for a truly unforgettable experience. The 2.5h were gone in a blink of an eye and we followed many of her recommendations! Thank you Marianne!
