We had a great afternoon with Gilbert. He arrived at the allotted time and place. We walked from the Old Town Hall towards District 6, dropping in on a cultural centre ( very interesting) on the way. Gilbert gave us excellent historical context to buildings and street art. He is a font of knowledge and answered all our questions. It became very clear that the sad history of District 6 clearance is very close to his heart as his own parents and grandparents used to live here. From District 6 we took an über to the areas of Woodstock and Saltriver where gentrification is setting in which became the topic. We would have never dared to visit these areas without Gilbert… and that would have been our great loss. Such interesting buildings and friendly people everywhere. A big thank you to you, Gilbert, for sharing this with us! Katja&Chris
It was my first local tour and I had such a great time with Gilbert. He showed me some hidden gems and I learned a lot about SA history. He was able to customize my experience to my needs and I really felt I was safe and welcomed. I feel like I gained a friend and I will definitely book him again next time I visit. I also appreciated all the extra advice and suggestions he gave me to enjoy for the rest of my trip.
Gilbert was the perfect guide for our tour and helped us with his knowledge and insights to not only understand the historical background of Cape Town, but to feel the vibe of it. Thanks so much for this entertaining and interesting afternoon - we can highly recommend Gilbert!
Gilbert was the perfect guide for our first day in Cape Town. He provided is with a great overview of the city while mixing in the history and points of interest. We loved the fact that he shared family history that brought many of the areas to life and that he tailored the trip to our needs.
