How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You’ll discover the laid-back Capetonian way of family life with your local Cape Town host, and your tribe, by your side. Locals love the blend of outdoor living and big city creativity that Cape Town offers, and your host can’t wait to share that with you and your family.
You’ll experience the diversity of the city as you embark on your very own 4-hour family adventure. You could get active and hike Lions Head if your little ones’ legs aren’t too little, hit the pristine beaches of the southern peninsula and visit the resident penguins (no, we’re not joking, there really are penguins), or play it really local and enjoy a picnic in the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
Rainy days and fussy eaters are no problem either; you could visit a museum or historic neighborhood, and try a koeksister or three - they're the city’s favorite sweet treat for a reason.

Dieter was incredible! We had the absolute best time with him showing us around the city and we were never bored. So much to see in South Africa Cape Town and he took us to a lot of interesting places having to do with culture, shopping, architecture, food and more ! We really enjoyed getting to know Dieter too as he is a super interesting guy and very easy to instantly connect with. He also takes so many photos of you along the journey which are sweet ways to remember the day. We are already talking about the next time we come to Cape Town and we will definitely do another tour with him. If you book with him you are guaranteed to have a great time!
