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.

RUSHDI gave us an interesting and informative tour of Cape Town. Allowed us to truly understand the diversity of the City with insights that only a local would know. Far more than a walking guide book experience. Rushi himself is articulate, amusing yet professional. Very highly recommended and if we had more time we would seek him out again.

Rushdi hat uns anhand der Orte einen tiefen Einblick in die wechselhaft Geschichte von Kapstadt gegeben. Er ist sehr gut auf unsere kleine Gruppe eingegangen und hat uns sogar Essenstipps gegeben.
Absolut empfehlenswert.

I had a wonderful walking tour with Rushdi and highly recommend him. I was the only guest that day, so it almost felt like a private tour. His deep knowledge of Cape Town, combined with his perspective as a fifth-generation South African, made the history feel personal, authentic, and fascinating. He was warm, engaging, and incredibly well versed throughout the tour. A great way to experience Cape Town through the eyes of a true local!
