I'm a 6th generation son born in the Bokaap. Our community are decendants of slaves and political exiles from the far east as a registered guide in Cape town I offer walking tours in the citybowl and bokaap sharing our communities history and culture with the world I'd love to show you around our neighborhood. I have a strong connection to the broader community. I'm a director of the bokaap tourism association and a director of Bokaap helpers garden. which is a NPO in the city focusing on community gardening. Have an intimate knowledge of Robben Island as a lived there for over 10 years too.
What a great chance to have a tour of culturally significant place with a local! Ilyas was special as we really get to hear from his experiences, we didn’t just take pics of the colorful houses, we went inside listening to the stories and really felt like a special tour. I strongly urge everyone to book local guides and support the local community!
Showcasing Bo Kapps colourful history, Mohammed is a pillar of his community annd has fascinating insights of the knowledge of his ancestors story and heritage! I learnt a lot!
Ich empfehle die Tour 100% weiter. Muhammad kommt aus der Community in Bo-Kaap und erzählt daher sehr authentisch und auf sympathische und offener Art von der Geschichte und auch von seinen Erfahrungen als Einheimischer dieses Viertels. Das war wirklich sehr informativ und wir haben viel mitgenommen. Sein Englisch ist auch sehr gut, sodass wir alles gut verstanden haben.
Tour más que inmersivo. Ideal para conocer al detalle los orígenes del Bo-kaap y la actualidad de su red socio-cultural. De los tours más interesantes y cercanos que jamás he realizado. De 10!
