Clear explanations , interesting of course , history , life in Cape Town , where are you safe etc...
Thank you for your kind review! We glad you enjoyed learning about Cape Town’s history and daily life. It was a pleasure sharing the city with you, and we appreciate you joining us!
Melokue was FANTASTIC. She gave us history and fun facts. She communicated well. And the treat at the end was yummy.
Thank you so much! We’re so happy you had a great time with Melo. She’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. And we’re glad you enjoyed the treat too! Hope to see you again on another tour.
A fascinating walk through Cape Town with historical insights every step of the way. Dylan our guide took great care of us and made sure we didn’t miss a thing!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed exploring Cape Town with Dylan. He loves bringing the city’s history to life, and we’re so glad he helped make your experience memorable. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
We did 2 walking tours, the first being the walking history tour and this was marred by anti-British comments for our Afrikaner lady guide who more than once poked fun at the Brits, knowing that we were from the UK. This led to some of the information being unbalanced and she did not portray the poor treatment of the African people by not only the Uk but also other countries in South Africa with an even view. The second tour of Bo-Kaap was excellent, informative and interesting, he was unbiased and dealt with the history of Cape Town giving flavour from all sides and we had much fuller flavour of living through thos past times.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Bo-Kaap tour and found it informative, engaging, and balanced. Our guides are passionate about sharing the many layers of Cape Town’s history and culture, so it’s wonderful to know that this came through during your visit. As a small note for anyone reading, the first tour mentioned was a separate experience, while we’re grateful to have been part of the second. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back to Cape Town someday.
The guide was very knowledgeable. We covered many major landmarks in a very short amount of time. He loves his country and made us love it too!
Really glad you enjoyed the tour… thank you for the lovely feedback. It’s great to hear the history and landmarks came through well and that you left with a stronger feel for Cape Town. We appreciate you joining us!
Very interesting and informative walking tour through significant areas of Cape Town with historical perspective. Our guide, Dylan was great!
Thank you so much…really glad you enjoyed the tour and the history of Cape Town. Dylan will appreciate this a lot. It means a lot to us having you on the walk!
Dylan the guide started out friendly and energetic. He doesn't quite have his patter down and it seemed like he ran out of gas early on in the tour - he began repeating facts and listing details with no context and in no particular order. The walk itself hit some good points of interest; by the time we got to Bo-Kaap, I think we learned that there were colorful houses as an expression of freedom and were told to take pictures. And then the tour was over.
Thanks for the honest feedback…we really appreciate you taking the time. We’re glad you still got to see some of Cape Town’s key highlights, but we’re sorry the experience with Dylan didn’t feel as smooth or engaging as it should’ve been. We’ve spoken to him about this already and we’re working on making sure the storytelling has more flow and depth from start to finish. Thanks again for joining us and for helping us do better:)
This tour was an interesting and historical walk which included some highlights such as City Hall where Nelson Mandela first addressed his people after release from prison, Desmond Tutu's home and church and the colourful Bo-Kaap area. Our guide Dylan was articulate, knowledgeable and polite. 5*
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the walk through such meaningful parts of Cape Town. Dylan will be chuffed to hear your feedback… he takes a lot of pride in sharing our history in an honest and engaging way. Appreciate you joining us!
The Cape Town Walking Tour was great, especially so because of our wonderful guide, Melo, She was fun, informative, smart, interesting and kind. She has a talent for taking history and bringing it alive through the different places we visited. She truly whetted our appetites for Cape Town/South African culture, and we ended the tour just wanting to learn even more. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re delighted to hear that Melo made your Cape Town experience so memorable. It’s always special to hear when our guests leave with a deeper appreciation for the history, culture and people of South Africa. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to her. Thanks again for joining us!
