We had a great time with Ilyas showing us the authentic bo-kaap from a locals perspective. We even had the honor to try some of his aunties delicious Koesisters. Thanks again Ilyas!

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!
