Bürgerkrieg Free Walking Tours in Kapstadt

Super informative, explained to us all the aspects of the topic in great detail and passion. Michael was a super tour guide.!

Michael was an excellent tour guide. I appreciated his deep knowledge of the complext history, and valued his insight and storytelling as someone who played a very active role in this history. I wouldn't have wanted to learn about these places and events from anyone else!

Was a great tour, Michael was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about his history, was conscious to make sure we had time to stop and listen to him and find shade when it got very warm! Highly recommend

I took the 3-hour Apartheid tour today, and I genuinely lost track of time. Michael’s storytelling is so intense and engaging that the hours simply fly by. This is exactly what I value when traveling abroad: an honest, unfiltered account—less politically correct, more truthful, meaningful, and heartfelt—of the country I’m visiting. Michael narrates a harsh chapter of history with such passion and commitment that you don’t even realize three hours have passed since he began. Absolutely recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Michael is very knowledgeable and passionate! The tour lasted 3 hours instead of 2 hours as he had so much to tell us. Enjoyed the experience and education. Will definitely see the history of South Africa with different eyes.

Probably the best walking tour I've done! Micheal is so knowledgeable, he answered all of my questions with great care and made sure I felt looked after and safe (I'm a solo female traveller) . I had an absolutely brilliant day with him and I'd highly recommend him to anyone who's interested in the real history of Cape Town and South Africa.

Michael was amazing. I learned so much. It was really moving and emotional . Definitely recommend to everyone visiting.

The best kind of walk. Taught me things and made me realise that things I thought I knew are not necessarily true. Makes me want to learn more. Humbling to hear about the struggle and sacrifices to combat an inhyst system.

We had the best experience with Michael ! He’s so knowledgeable about South Africa history, colonialism and apartheid, and him Being directly involved into fighting against apartheid made the experience even more moving. Fully recommend if you want to learn more about the history of South Africa !

Sehr informative tour über die Geschichte Südafrikas. Sie wurde uns sehr anschaulich und ausführlich näher gebracht. Leider konnten wir nicht bis zum Ende bleiben, da die Tour länger als angegeben dauerte.

Michael's tour is excellent! Well researched, thoughtfully presented and extremely informative with valuable dates, places, and people. This tour is not entertainment, nor is it intended to be. It is educational and intended to provide visitors with new perspectives and information about 400 years of South African history! It has expanded and enriched my knowledge of this country, its history, its peoples, and its challenges! Thank you, Michael for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us!

This was a great tour! Michael is so knowledgeable and explains so much history that you cannot learn elsewhere. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you Michael!

The tour was amazing. Michael explains with passion and knows how to share his wide knowledge. A tour with him helps you understand perfectly the historical and cultural past of this town and country, and all the struggles its people has gone through and it's going through now. He is kind and always welcoming for any questions you might have! A great tour overall, and we even had 30 extra minutes!

It was such an interesting tour. Michael is a great story teller, he told us so much about the history of the city. I can recommend to everyone!

We very much enjoyed our walking tour with Michael. He was passionate about sharing the history of Cape Town and apartheid. We found him engaging and informative and particularly appreciated him being so honest about his own experiences during apartheid. We left wanting to learn more and to question our previous understanding of the issues discussed. Thank you Michael.

We loved the tour with Michael!! He explained the apartheid era really well and answered all our questions about this difficult and painful time. It’s definitely worth it for anyone who wants to learn more about the country’s history. We highly recommend it!

Our guide Michale was incredible and very professional. His tour was an emotional and deep trip into the real history of South Africa. We absolutely recommend this tour! Thank you Michael!!

This tour allows you to explore the history of South Africa from its earliest inhabitants to the present day, with its proud and dark sides, without taboo or artifice.

Michael is very knowledgeable and animated. Easy to listen to

BEST TOUR IN CAPE TOWN!! me & my partner are still so blown away by this experience. it is one thing to listen history facts from somebody who has studied it from books BUT IT IS ANOTHER THING TO HEAR IT FROM SOMEBODY WHO HAS LIVED IT!!! Michael was absolutely brilliant & could bring forth what ACTUALLY has taken place in Cape Town & South-Africa, the behind-the-scene stories, & soooo much insight to WHY things are the way they are. 11/10. will send all my friends who travel to Cape for this tour. Thank you!

After a little bumpy start, we had a really good, informative and intense tour with Michael. He was patient and very open to answer all questions we had, even when we brushed controversial topics or difficult ones of current politics. Michael seems like a very reflective person and has experienced and actively fought for ending the Apartheid himself, which allowed us to switch into his perspective for a while. Thank you Michael, this was an experience that left us with a lot to think and talk about until today.

The best free walking tour I’ve ever done, hands down. Michael was the perfect tour guide for this tour. He shared his lived experience. He provided historical context and related it well to the stops on the tour. But the personal connection to what he was sharing is what made this tour so special and impactful. Go into the tour with an open mind and be prepared to see South Africa with a new perspective. It’s a tour which really makes you think. We did it at the beginning of our holiday and we are glad we did. It emphasized for us the complexity of this country. Thank you, Michael!

After visiting the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg and touring Soweto before coming to Cape Town, I found this tour of Michael’s to be far more interesting and informative. Michael’s polished presentation-style is riveting and the personal experience he brings to the stories he tells gives insights that I can’t imagine getting from any other guide. Thank you, Michael, for your dedication to sharing your knowledge and experiences with others.

So insightful!!!

This was an amazing and very intense tour with a passionate and knowledgable tour guide. There was no sugar coating and straight forward information and so much to learn about the past and the present of the country putting everything into perspective. Excellent tour and I highly recommend!
