What you’ll do

If you have a short period of time in which to explore Cape Town, why not get the most out of your adventure and spend it with a local Capetown host? Seeing an entire city in just a few hours is impossible, but getting an authentic, engaging, and lasting impression are not.

Your host will be there to help you actualize any experience you’ve dreamt of in the Mother City. You could hike a trail and breathe in the fresh, peppery scent of fynbos on Table Mountain or amble through the historic neighborhoods.

Tell us what you’re into and we’ll do our best to make it happen. Maybe you want to catch a play at the famous Fugard Theatre, or have sundowners in Camps Bay? No matter your preference or activity request, Cape Town caters to everyone and the opportunities to embrace its beauty, culture, and heritage are everywhere - you just need to know where to look.
