Great Day in the City

Had a great day with Gilbert, we requested a city tour with only 3hours notice. Quick to respond he was eager to show us his hometown. We could tell how passionate he was about his culture and there was no question he did not have an answer.

Best Cape Town guide!

We were a party of 3, and Gilbert made us feel as though we were a part of his family! He is so very friendly and informative! There is no way we could have experienced and learned so much on our own! He took us to so many behind-the-scenes places that most tourists like us don’t get to experience. He is authentic Cape Town and hope to use him as our guide again one day.
