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.
Ilyas gave me a private tour in Bo-Kaap. He told me very impressively about the story of Bo-Kaap. He showed me the oldest mosques and introduced me to some of his friends and family. I was even able to try the Koesister specialty, which was incredibly delicious. I can only advise everyone to book a tour with Ilyas. It will be very informative and delicious. If someone is interested in volunteer projects, he is also the right contact person.
Es war eine sehr interessante Führung mit viel Detailwissen. Schöne Atmosphäre und viele, viele Informationen.
A very engaging tour, aided by Muhammad's generational knowledge and experience of living in the area - he had a unique insight that made the experience even more special. We got to meet some very friendly local people and even had some delicacies of the Bo-Kaap area! Highly recommend, thank you Muhammad for a great experience!
It was an amazing tour of Bo Kap! I expect to see some colorful houses and artworks but I got to know so much more about the history and community of this place!!! I can 100% recommend this tour. 🥰 Thank you Ilyas for the hospitality and for sharing your love for the community with the world.
