Cape Town Tour
"We had a great unconventional tour with Gilbert, which was exactly what we wanted. He showed us authentic places we couldn’t have found ourselves and connected us with very interesting people. He gave us good advices during our trip as well. We recommend 100%"

Culture and Foodie Tour
"Amazing afternoon with Gilbert! He met us as planned, got to know our family and immediately started talking about the history. As we walked around the city, Gilbert was sure to point out unique buildings and landscapes, all while sharing us how things have emerged. If we were to walk around on our own, we would surly have missed so much of the culture and history! This was a welcomed experience for our entire family. Even our kids, ages 13 and 10, came away with a unique knowledge of CapeTown and South African history…as well as experiencing all the yummy local food!"
