Cape Town from the perspective of a local.
The tour went wonderfully after prior arrangements were made. We learned a lot and discovered interesting things. Very beautiful. Truly recommended.

A half day of Cape Town history
The tour starts in the wharf area and I was concerned that it would cover all the touristy areas, but was pleasantly surprised. It turns out that a significant part of Cape Town's history is next to the touristy wharf area and Dieter was very knowledgeable about that part of the history. Since the tour was private and customizable and Dieter knew we were interested in art; he made sure to include some very interesting art galleries and studios in the area as well as some food locals and local color.
