So personal. Great job - Our tour guide was amazing! He went above and beyond. Our plans got changed last minute that day, we asked if we could move our time up to start our tour earlier, and he left his own vacation early just to accommodate us. What a wonderful gesture! He was so knowledgeable and kind. He even took us to the right location so we could meet the rest of our tour group at the correct time. He was so sweet! Highly recommend

Stroll the city - A great introduction to Cape Town. And the four-hour walking tour was perfect following a long stretch of flying the day before. Sebastian was an excellent guide. He obviously enjoyed what he did, and knew more history than we could absorb in an our short time together. He was also happy to talk about current events. He will also quickly set you straight -- with a smile -- on the difference between what South African's call a braai and a barbecue.

A Must Do - We just returned from our first time in Cape Town. We did an amazing guided walking tour with our host Sebastian. We hightly recommend doing this tour. From the beginning to the end, Sebastian was outstanding. He shared his expertise of the history and city's vibrant culture making this experience a truly memorable one. He gave of recommendations of things to see and places to eat during our stay. Sebastian took us on a journey and he exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful time exploring this beautiful city. We saw places we would probably not have otherwise seen. Our only suggestion is to do the tour at the front end of your stay. We did ours closer to the end of our time there and wished we had done the tour sooner.

Walking tour of Cape Town city centre - Sebastian was a fascinating host for our orientation to the sights and history of Cape Town, entertaining, insightful and informative. He kept in touch before our visit to ask if we had any specific interests and to ensure everything went smoothly for our meet up, which was very reassuring. We’d highly recommend a tour with Sebastian.

Walking tour of Cape Town - I met Rushdi for a solo tour of Cape Town. I have travelled all over the world but was slightly anxious about walking around the city on my own. Rushdi immediately put me at ease and I felt very safe throughout the whole tour. His knowledge was excellent and I learnt all about the history of the city as well as seeing some diverse sights and have a much greater understanding of the history of Cape Town. And excellent guide who was able to tailor the tour to my needs. Highly recommended.

Most personalized tour possible! - Sebastian was outstanding. He recognized right away that our youngest was energetic and probably would have had a hard time on the planned tour. So when I asked him for a change of plan- to guide us to the top of Table Mountain- he enthusiastically agreed and gave us a wonderful spontaneous tour of Table Mountain, Bo Kaap, Company’s Gardens and the markets downtown. It was a wonderful day and due in great part to Sebastian. Thank you so very much.

Wonderful Tour - It was just the perfect tour for us to get our bearings for our first day in Cape Town and to learn about the rich history of the country and city. Sebastian was most patient and knowledgeable and made us feel so safe and comfortable.

Insightful and entertaining - We truly enjoyed our time spent with Theo, even if it was a little different from the advertised experience. Rather than walking for 4 hours we were standing about half that time in the castle alone (a little too long for our taste). However, he was able to provide wonderful insights in South African Society, politics and economics, which we truly enjoyed. Not sure we saw many of the promised "hidden gems", but the meeting point itself was already a worthwhile experience with fantastic coffee and baked goods. Overall a great half day out and a fantastic host sharing his stories and insights with us. Thanks Theo!
