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 spend the day with one of our local Capetonian hosts, who can’t wait to share with you their favorite places to hang out or where to get your hands on the best food. You’ll weave your way through a pocket of the city, discovering its diversity and the communities who are lucky to call the Mother City home.
You’ll have time to see some historic landmarks and districts like the Company Gardens and Bo-Kaap. Perhaps you want to laze your afternoon away sipping wine in a vineyard carved into the mountainside or on a pristine beach. Get cultured in a gallery, like the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, and maybe end the day with a short hike up Lion’s Head in time for sunset.
We know that a city is more than a place, but a feeling. And so that’s exactly what you’ll experience on your day with your host, as you discover Cape Town your way.

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!
