Inner City Untold Stories Cape Town

Inner City Untold Stories Cape Town is an adventure off the beaten path of city walking tours, revealing layers of history through captivating storytelling that exposes "behind the scenes" locations most travelers and locals would inadvertently overlook.

Affectionately known as the “Mother City,” Cape Town, like any familial matriarch, has secrets: some charming, some dark, and some that refuse to stay buried. 

Behind the colorful photos in glamorous travel magazines lie forgotten alleyways, hidden courtyards, ghost stories, and political whispers—moments of rebellion and resistance that shaped the city we know today. 

The story of Mozart on Church, one of Cape Town’s oldest restaurants is a tale of cloak and dagger secret political meetings, hosted by the African National Congress 

( aka ANC) during the dark years of Apartheid. Discover the historic Keerom Street, known centuries ago for its vibrant social and entertainment scene, and today the location of the Cape Town High Court. 

Long Street has its own murky past and continues to be a draw for those seeking late-night parties. In the heart of the city center, a legendary recording was made in a back room studio in 1974, and while the passage of time has seen many changes within the city center, a faint echo of this historic recording, "Manenberg is where it's happening," continues to resonate in the aftermath of Cape Town's traumatic and tragic history of racial segregation and forced evictions. 

No visit to Cape Town can be complete without tasting South Africa's signature farmer's sausage, "boerie wors," and a visit to Heritage Square is where we will tastefully seal our time together.
