The best tour you can take in Cape Town! Muhammad showed us all the sides of Bo-kaap, not just the touristic stuff. It felt like walking around with an old friend. Highly recommended!

The tour was way beyond our expectations. We had a very interesting tour including the community garden, the home of a local rugby legend and homemade donuts. We were made to feel welcome everywhere we went. Highly recommended. Thank you
