Cape Town Guru - Rushdi - Tour Guide in Cape Town

Hi there! I am Rushdi, a fifth generation South African born and raised in the foothills of Table Mountain to parents whose ancestors were slaves brought to the Cape from the east during the slave trade. My ancestors built this city that I call home and I look forward to sharing my experiences from this picturesque corner of the world. Today, I am a proud husband and father, the last generation to experience apartheid and the first to witness the remarkable change in South Africa. Passionate about my culture with a great sense of adventure. I hope to share my Cape Town the way only a local knows how. Taste our heritage, fantastic tastes, sights and sounds from the comfort of a vehicle or stroll leisurely through the city streets. I am here to help you achieve and create lasting memories. My Cape Town offers everything and more for every type of traveler and since we are all unique, I can help you design a tour 100% tailored to your needs.

Amazing tour! Rushdi was really entertaining, professional. He showed us his favourites places to eat and some local secrets of the town. He really loves this town and we now understand why! Highly recommended tour

Great way to start the day. Rushdi was engaging with a great sense of humour. We got a great look into the history and culture of Cape Town. Covering the culturally significant sights. He even finished the tour on a local food stop for us which was a much appreciated addition.

Exceptional tour with a phenomenal guide! The Guru Walk with Rushdi was our first of four tours in Cape Town and it set the tone for the trip. Rushdi took us to places that we didn't see again or hear about on any other tour. These places, buildings, and structures are pivotal in understanding the history of Cape Town -- how it was formed, the native people, who settled there, the journey of slaves once they arrived, how they were renamed, apartheid and so much more. As a local, Rushdi is well informed and an artful storyteller, shedding light on difficult topics with respect for all involved. My husband and I spent 14 days in different cities across South Africa and this was hands down the best tour of our trip. I highly recommend carving out time to spend with Rushdi on a Guru Walk in Cape Town!
