The tour was very enriching and enlightening thanks to our tour guide Remi. He shared so much information with us about the township. We met local residents. Remi was very patient with us as he allowed us to ask the residents questions and to take some pictures with them. We felt very safe and comfortable with Remi as our guide. We went to see some art work and ate some African food which was very delicious. The tour although it was half day, Remi and his team made it worthwhile and we would definitely be coming back next year to visit more townships thanks to Remi and Raw tours. I definitely recommend Remi and Raw tours to anyone who is thinking of visiting Cape town.

Our tour guide Remi was excellent! He was so knowledgeable about the area and the everyday life of the town's people. We felt safe with him and would highly recommend him to future customers. We met a couple of residents and exchanged conversation, many were open to talking about their life experience during apartheid and after. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience and hope to return again with our tour guide Remi.

Wenn man sich einen Rundumblick über die Gegebenheiten in Kapstadt machen möchte, dann ist diese Tour ein "Muss". Man gewinnt Einblicke, die nicht zwingend leicht zu ertragen sind, die aber Realität aufzeigen. Die Tour war super. Ein sehr emotionaler, authentischer Reiseführer, der die Problematik erkennt und die Dinge benennt. Man muss sich auf dieser Tour auch nicht unsicher fühlen, Wer in Kapstadt war und diese Chance nicht genutzt hat, der hat meiner Ansicht nach etwas entscheidendes verpasst.
