Best Birthday Photo Shoot Ever
This was the most amazing experience. We have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and people wanting to know who we used. Our photographer Caitlin was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge of Bo-Kaap and how she captured those special moments was truly incredible. Book with them today if you’re planning to be in Cape Town and ask for Caitlin. We are beyond pleased with our pictures.

A delightful experience on a tour in Bo Kaap.
A delightful experience on a tour of Bo-Kaap. I wanted to visit Bo-Kaap, and since I was alone, I was hesitant to take photos there. Choosing this tour option with a photo session was perfect. Better than I imagined. Caitlin shared some of the local history of the neighborhood and took photos in incredible locations.

Unforgettable Experience
Saxola was my photographer. She was super nice and gave me great pose ideas. This was an unforgettable experience in Bo-Kaap. Definitely recommend knowing the history ahead of time and taking the tour with a friend or friends earlier in the day. Overall awesome photo shoot experience.

Fun photo shoot in Bo-Kaap
A fun experience in Bo-Kaap with Caitlin as my photographer. Caitlin was very kind and patient. She also suggested poses which was appreciated as I was very much out my comfort zone. Was a great way to see Bo-Kaap and have fab photos to keep as memories of my time in Cape Town; especially as I was travelling on my own. Even with friends it would be fun to do as it captures the colours of Bo-Kaap to a professional standard. Would definitely recommend and would do it again if back in Cape Town.

OK but not really worth the money. Photographer very friendly though.
This was booked for 11.30am. I was asked by Marie to change the time to 10.30am which I did but on arrival at Bo Kaap, the protographer wasn't there. It seems Terrence the photographer was not give the information so he didn't arrive until 11.15am as he was working with other customers. Terrence a very friendly, nice chap but I would say that we could maybe have done the photographs ourselves with a friend. £112 is quite expensive.
Operator response
Dear Glenn, Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry for the mistake we made that day! We should have arrived in time and we take the all responsibility. We are always doing our best to be 100% on our photoshoots experiences and this time we didn’t. So sorry that it made you not enjoy our service. We would like to offer you a Free Photoshoot voucher that you can use on your next visit to Cape Town. We wishing a good end of the year, and a happy new year 2025 for you two! Kindly Marlow and Terrence
