I cannot ever say enough good things about Zee and about this food tour. This was my third time doing it (sort of!), but the first time that I did it all the way through. In 2025, I studied abroad in Cape Town and joined my parents and my sister (who visited separately) on parts of the tour. Now I am back with my grandfather and I am so pleased that I was finally able to do the full tour. This is one of if not THE best food tour I have ever done and I have done them on multiple continents in many places. Zee is so incredibly knowledgeable, but more importantly she is kind and she is willing to share her life story and experiences. We are so grateful for having been able to hear from her. This tour is incredible - from the food, to the history, to the sites, to every conversation, it was an 11/10 tour. I highly recommend.
The small group experience was so much fun. I was a solo traveler and was a part of the small group. The guide was so nice and knew all the individual stops personally before he started doing the tour. Fair warning, there is so much good food, that it is best to pace yourself. And if you don't a nap is a good choice after. I had an amazing time and it was worth every penny spent and kilometer walked.
We had a fantastic experience with Rupesh!! We learned so much about the area and we loved trying so many different things. Rupesh was kind, knowledgeable, and really worked to customize the stops for our interests. We had such a lovely day and it was a great way to get more familiar with area to kick off our honeymoon.
What a great tour, lots of local information, And the food and drinks were delicious! Highly recommend
Wonderful tour. Keagan was informative, friendly, and well-organized. Better than anticipated and we had pretty high expectations!
Our guide Iga was both knowledgeable friendly and above all extremely helpful in guiding us around the sights and food of Cape Town. We never felt rushed and all the food was explained in great detail we would certainly use her again
Wonderful tour full of interesting facts and curated stops to give a broad overview of Cape Town local cuisine and the different parts of the city! Do this upon arrival to get oriented and get a huge list of high-quality local Cape Town restaurants to patronize during your visit!
Great tour experience. Suresh was the perfect guide, liked the small group and his knowledge and friendliness. Highly recommended.
We had a great time on the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable. We got to try a wide variety of foods and drinks.
Great way to visit points of interest in downtown Cape Town and enjoy the cultural tastes of the city. Karesh, who was our guide for the tour, was very informative and was a wonderful story teller. .
