Experience City Tours in Cape Town with Withlocals

"Sebastian was knowledgeable, personable and professional. He imparted a lot of information on the history of Cape Town – much of which we had not known - in an accessible way. Sebastian has a great sense of humour which helped keep things light. We walked and drove and he pointed out many details along the way which we would never have noticed. He was punctual and courteous and always mindful of our surroundings keeping us at ease.\nHe kindly dropped us off at the Waterfront and followed up by sending us recommendations for restaurants going over and above what we expected. A great guide that we would highly recommend to others. \n"

"Theo is fabulous. He is passionate about the history of his home, and is easily able to transmit this passion to his guests. We learned so much, and it was so enjoyable, too!\n\nWe highly recommend Theo!"

"We started later than the designated time so Gilbert suggested we see the Mandela exhibit at City Hall. And rather than dashing off, he was generous enough of his time to allow us to take a quick walk through a wonderfully curated short exhibit of Mandela and his years in Cape Town. \n\nBut that set the stage for the rest of the tour. Gilbert shared his personal story of his family and how they were displaced from District 6 and resettled in the Townships being offered for relocation. \n\nGilbert shared vintage photographs of the District and overlaid where appropriate what stood at which spot and how the area is being rebuilt. \n\nThe transition into Woodstock was an eye opener. Both from the beautiful street art work and the history of the neighborhood. \n\nWe ended the tour on a different note. \nHaving been to the Old Biscuit Mill, Gilbert offered to walk us to Observation. An area undergoing gentrification and with a totally different vibe. \n\nWe said goodbye with him recommending a restaurant for lunch for us. A badly needed respite from all that walking. \n\nCertainly a very entertaining afternoon. Something we’d never have done on our own and we leave richer, knowing more of the history and background of Cape Town. "

"Absolutely fantastic experience with Sebastian in Cape Town, he made every moment special. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems brought everything to life. he curated the perfect balance of adventure, culture, and relaxation. He was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. Thanks to him, we saw Cape Town through a local’s eyes. Highly recommended!\n"

"Fun, competent and professional person. \nIt was a pleasure to spend a day with him. \nHe showed us Cape Town (as much as you can see in a single day) in exactly the way we wanted. \nWhen we return we will definitely contact him for a new tour. \nAbsolutely recommended!"

"We spent 4 fantastic hours on a walking tour with wonderful Sebastian. \n\nWe saw such a variety of areas and sights in Cape Town and felt we had a much fuller understanding of the historical backdrop, as well as a unique insight into the city's present, and the daily life of a local.\n\nSebastian was a lot of fun and made sure the tour was perfectly tailored to us. We came away feeling we now knew Cape Town much better than we ever would have discovering it on our own. \n\nWe're glad we booked it for near the start of our trip. It also helped us to feel safe in the City on our own for the rest of the trip, as we were able to ask Sebastian for advice and guidance and also see what a friendly place it was, and with excellent security presence within the city. \n\nSebastian generously followed up after our tour with lots of suggestions for the rest of our trip. \n\nThanks for everything Sebastian, we're so glad we got to meet and spend time with you. \n\nVictoria & Brett, UK"

"We spent 2 days walking with Parinita and got a great exposure to the old part of the city. She was knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to be with. She had a plan but also made adjustments to accommodate any request we made. "

"So helpful and fun and knowledgeable! We loved our experience with Sebastian! We would book again! "

"We had an outstanding 4 hour walking tour with Sebastian - a detailed historical tour of Cape Town matched with an openness about South Africa past & present. A joyful and informative afternoon to be repeated next time in SA. "

"We enjoyed every minute with Theo who took us around the heart of Cape Town and shared his immense treasure of insides with us: history, politics, architecture, social issues, in addition an introduction into local botanics and inside stories over stories…. All this at a very relaxing and agreeable pace, no rush, always mindful of his clients interests and preferences…. No questions remained unanswered and his explanations truly broadened our perspectives…. He provided us a broader perspective on life in Cape Town and a view behind the scenes! All in all a very worthwhile experience…. time flew and we could have continued much longer… finally his restaurant recommendation was spot on too!!!! And above all he is a very nice guy….. Many thanks Theo …. Three cheers to you!! Rosie and Jogi"
