We basically had a private tour, as no one else had signed up. Terrence was a very good guide who gave us lots of interesting information about South Africa in general, but especially about the Bo-Kap district and the city center. We would never have discovered many things and wall graffiti without him. The tour is definitely worth it.

I wanted to know more about the history of South Africa and Cape Town and this tour did exactly that! Very knowledgeable and interesting tour guide. Highly recommend!

Amazing, enjoyed and appreciated the rich history shared by the tour guide! Very patient as we took one million and one pictures as well 😅

Great value pass for all attractions and a fantastic way to learn about the city and beyond

Terrence was really nice, caring with our kids and very informative, thanks!
