Additional Information

We offer various options for this excursion, which primarily takes place in a locality known as District Six, one of Cape Town’s most historic quarters. Each choice involves District Six, because in our belief, one cannot grasp the city’s history without comprehending District Six.

One may wonder, ‘Why District Six?’. This region was once an urban residential zone from where over 60,000 non-white residents were forcefully evicted in the 1970s during the Apartheid ruling. It was intended for white-only redevelopment, but it was left deserted and vacant due to global pushback. Wander past haunting deserted roads overrun with wild vegetation and observe what remnants persist today. The district is gradually being regenerated, with eccentric cafes and street art emerging as a potent voice, narrating tales of the area’s trials and charms.

Guests can undertake the tour utilizing the following modes of transport:

On foot
Bicycle
Electric scooter

Incredible Experience! - I absolutely loved the District Six tour. I learnt so much about the rich and dark history of district 6, loved the coffee tasting at Truth, the beautiful street art and the yummy cupcakes at Charly's Bakery! Nothing beats a walking tour where you get to feel the heartbeat of a place and meet its people. A very special experience that will be enjoyed by international travelers and local explorers alike.

Go Lele and Honest Travel - Lele was so informative. As a new residence of Cape Town, this was a very cool tour to learn more about my new town. I’m really looking forward to reading his books and perhaps experiencing other Honest Travel Tours when life gets back to somehow normal.
