The information by the guide were interesting but quite superficial. If you do this tour, don't go alone. The guide was hitting on me which is beyond unprofessional. I felt very uncomfortable.

We did the township tour and I would 100% recommend it to anyone! You spend time in the township and learn a lot, get a peek into the daily life with a guide that lives there and shows you around. It’s a safe experience which explains how it is to grow up and live there, some political background and a local beer tasting. The tour guide Wanda was very knowledgeable, I recommend tourists to tip after the trip and buy a souvenir from the local shop, their life is hard enough as it is. Great experience, I hope they get a lot more visitors and that their situation improves (you support by visiting with this local organization!)

A chance to see the Africa not on the safari circuit. It gives a glimpse into lives of the majority of South Africans and the hardships they endure. Our guides were very informative. We went on short walking tours in the safer areas. Well worth it

We did this tour on the first day of our arrival. It was indeed the best tour to start our holidat with. In fact, the tour is really authentic and shows the life of people in Cape Town. It was just the two of us with the driver. We were lucky to go on Sunday and in return, we got a private tour with our guides. First, we went to Langa, where a local guide met us. He told us a lot of interesting facts, helped us in getting to know the culture, cuisine and history. Indeed, it is an eye-opening exoerience that allow you to look through the real life of capetownians. Afterwards we went to Gugulethu, where our driver was from. He showed us around and even brought us to spinning, where all of the locals were in! It was a fantastuc experience: the sense of community is immense. And the main thing, the locals are really helpful, welcoming, and really proud of their home! It is really enjoyable to be around them and learn more about their life! And, last but not least, there are a lot of things written around about safety. At no point we felt unsafe. People are really warm and welcoming. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet the locals in their usual atmosphere. I strongly advise to go for this tour to experience real Cape Town!
