You’ll follow your host as they lead you on a journey through the Mother City, and we guarantee you’ll soon see why locals proudly think their city is the most beautiful in the world.
Of course, we’d be lying if we said you could discover all of Cape Town’s must-sees in just a day, but your local Cape Town host will share with you as much as they can of what makes their city so unique.
Enticed by big city lights and cosmopolitan cafe culture, or do you see yourself on the beaches of the southern peninsula, soaking up the laid-back lifestyle? Our hosts have always got time for good food, so just let us know what you’d like to try from the city’s diverse and eclectic food scene.
There are so many spectacular hikes, pristine beaches, historic streets, and dreamy vineyards to experience that you couldn’t see it all in a day - but you can sure try.

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!
