Michael

I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable walking tour of Cape Town CBD. Michael is open to questions, is patient, has really good knowledge of historic facts and architecture, and has the ability to build and keep a narrative going throughout the tour. There are many ‘Ah’ and ‘wow’ moments during his thoughtfully curated tour. We had a lovely time with Michael.

I really enjoyed the Bo Kaap tour with Michael. It was very interesting and Michael also agreed to photo me. The only thing that I didn't like is when we came to the restaurant there were testing portions for 20 rands per each. I took a full meal and 1 testing portion and Michael took 1 testing portion as well. When I got a bill I understood that I need to pay for Michael's portion as well, and initially on the bill was written 20 rands that were crossed out and changed to 25, so I paid 50 instead of 40, besides the cost of my meal and tip. I have no problem paying some additional sum and it's OK if the guide gets some commission from the restaurant BUT I would like to know that in advance and not to be surprised.

Excellent tour that gives an insight in the history of capetown.

Michael is a great tour guide for the historical Cape Town city tour. He' (and his family) have a rich Cape Town history. That makes him breath the city and he shows you all the things you won't see on any website, in any guidebook or when you stroll around. He lets you understand how the city works and how that connects with its history. An absolute recommendation.
