Essential tour for better understanding the human condition

Robert_I, Mar 2024

Each guide provided excellent general and personal insights that enabled us to better understand South Africa’s recent history; the nature and personal impact of apartheid; and the current environment. Luduomo’s (sp?) willingness to share life in the settlements was appreciated and valuable to us. Faziela went above and beyond in enhancing our experience, keeping us informed, and providing transportation way. She used her local connections to give us access to amazing views of Cape Town. The District 6 area and museum, the township visit, the tour of Robben Island — such essential places to visit and all made better by two excelkent guides

Our Langa guide and driver were outstanding too -very knowledgable . Robyn island was also a great trip -tour guide in bus no 1 was outstanding and our prison guide was fascinating -Fazelia who chaperoned me was the best ! Thank u to everyone-a tour to remember .

One of the best guides ever.

Matthew_F, Nov 2021

Took me around the city to some highlights before the island tour. What an incredible guide with an incredible spirit that keeps you moving. She was so willing to spend as much time as I wanted at places and took me to an incredible coffee house too. One of the best guides I’ve had. Thank you Faziela for a great day of memories.

If i could I would give the experience 10 stars. The trips were so well planned, from the hotel pick up to the final goodbye. The township and museum tour was so informative. This was a perfect Cape Town tour, not to be missed.

A Piece of History

Hitomi_S, May 2019

For those wanting to experience a bit of South African history, this was an excellent way to get a lot of information quickly. The tour to the museum and the relocation communities was a great opportunity to understand a bit of the history. Robben Island is a beautiful place despite the fact that it is a prison and housed many of South Africa's political prisoners including Mandela. Everyone visiting Cape town should take this trip.

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Thank you Hitomi for your amazing review. It is very kind of you. We appreciate you taking time out to do so. Best wishes to you. Jameel

Response from Host, Jun 2019

De moeite waard

Herman H, Oct 2019

Interessant museum en indrukwekkende tour door township Langa. Uitleg in museum had beter en langer gekund, maar desondanks goed. Gids bij Township liet veel zin, was wel gericht om aankopen te doen bij de inwoners van het Township
