Free walking tours in Kapstadt

Marianne was excellent. She was well knowledgeable and the best part is at the end of the tour she gave everyone a pamphlet of recommendations for what to do and how to get around in Cape Town. Exactly what I needed at the beginning of this trip. Don’t hesitate and sign up for this tour with Marianne!

This tour was excellent! I did this on my first day and I am glad I did. A tour that helped me connect with South Africa and its rich history. The indigenous people, the dutch and British influence, the provinces and the many clues around the city that give me a gateway or portal into the past. This tour was amazing and when we went to City hall and she spoke to us about Nelson Mandela we were all simply in awe! It was an absolute pleasure to meet Marianne; she is such a warm soul with lots of energy! :)

Marianne is a natural story teller and her tours are incredibly captivating. It was my first time in South Africa and I really got to connect with the place. Bo-Kaap is a vibrant, colourful and creative part of Cape Town with a muslim community. I got some great pictures and it was definitely worth the trip.

Marianne was simple the best! She was probably one of the best guides my girlfriend and I have ever had. It is quite difficult to do a tour in a language which it is not your mother tongue (we are Spanish), but Marianne did it easy and caught our attention all the tour. It is a privilege when you have a guide that loves what she does. We could interrumpt her and ask her millions of questions so, what was supposed to be a Bo-kaap tour it turned into a historical tour throughout Southafrica’s past and present. Thank you again Marianne, hopefully come back and come across again. Kind regards, Maria and Alberto.

Muhammad hat uns tief in die Geschichte rund um Bo-Kaap und seine Bewohner mitgenommen. Als wirklich Einheimischer hat er uns ein tolles Verständnis des Lebens dort, der Vorzüge und seiner Herausforderungen vermittelt. Absolut empfehlenswert! Zusätzlich gab es eine Kostprobe der Küche und eine Einführung in die Gewürze! Mega!

An excellent tour that I can strongly recommend. Informative and entertaining with just the right pace.

Great CBD tour! Bukiwe has deep historical knowledge and gave us amazing local food tips. A perfect way to discover the true heart of Cape Town.

Very nice street art tour in Woodstock & Salt River! Great guide: perfect mix of stunning murals, local history, and environmental context.

Marianne was such a lovely guide! She gave us the historical overview, had some props to help along the way and even brought some South African delicacies for us to try. She shared hidden gems and her favorite spots in a lovely leaflet she had for us. I’d definitely recommend her tour for anyone visiting Cape Town!

Had such a great time on this walking tour Super engaging and relaxed, with a perfect mix of history and local stories. Loved how it covered everything from Cape Town’s early days to Apartheid, Mandela without feeling overwhelming. The guide Marianne was friendly, knowledgeable, and made it feel like exploring with a local. Highly recommend if you want a great intro to the city!

Marianne is just an amazing lady that explains South African history in an easy but entertaining way. We loved it! Recommend 100%

Great tour! Got loads of nice infomation and knowledge!

Marianne was an absolute delight! We were a diverse group, and she made everyone feel included and engaged throughout the tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Bo-Kaap and shared fascinating insights that really brought the area to life and helped us understand its history. She gave us plenty of time to take photos, which we really appreciated, and answered all our questions with enthusiasm and care. One thing that stood out was her thoughtful debrief on safety, she shared practical tips on how to avoid scams or risky situations. She truly went above and beyond by creating a small pamphlet filled with recommendations, including local foods to try, where to find them, transportation options for other tours, and unique experiences around Cape Town. I highly recommend taking this tour with Marianne!

Marianne is the best! The tour is very informative and interesting, and she makes it in the best and fun way.

Marianne gave us the best tour we had all over the world (visited 80+ countries). She is very genuine, authentic, humble and such a sweetheart! Valuable information all over the tour, great tips and probably the best experience we had in South Africa! She lived the history she is telling stories about and it is unbelievable to hear about Apartheid from a local how life was back those days. She is an inspiration as well! Having that energy is just something to thrive for! Thank you Marianne!

Guida eccellente, molto simpatica e che offre molti utili consigli.Una esperienza consigliata!

This was my first tour with Marianne, and I absolutely loved it. Despite an issue with the rest of the group and the fact that I was the only one who showed up, she didn’t hesitate for a second to go ahead and give me the tour just for me. That alone says so much about her dedication and professionalism. It ended up being one of the best experiences I had in Cape Town and definitely one of the best free tours I’ve ever done. Marianne is professional, kind, warm, and incredibly friendly, and she has so many fascinating anecdotes about the city that really bring it to life. I enjoyed it so much that I even booked a second tour with her on Bo-Kaap. I highly recommend her!

This was my second tour with Marianne, and I couldn’t be happier to have chosen her again. After my first experience, I was already absolutely delighted — she is professional, kind, warm, and incredibly friendly. What really makes her stand out is the way she brings Cape Town to life through her countless anecdotes and stories. I enjoyed the first tour so much that I didn’t hesitate for a second to book another one with her, and once again, she exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable and engaging experience!

Lovely tour and also included great tips for places to eat and visit in Cape Town.

We took a tour with Nathan in Cape Town and had an excellent experience. From the start, it was clear that he is both knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He shared a wealth of interesting information in a clear and engaging way. On top of that, he was very attentive and always happy to answer questions. It was a great way to get to know the city. Highly recommended!

Marianne is a great tour guide. We loved the tour, and we recommend you do it in the beginning of your trip, as she gives a lot of great tips of Cape Town during the tour. :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon Bo-Kaap walk with Marianne - she was so knowledgeable and friendly and her passion and enthusiasm were infectious. We would not hesitate to recommend one of Marianne’s tours! Anni & Gary
