Walking tours are the best way to absorb the true spirit of Cape Town. A rich tapestry of history, architecture, memorial art, historical buildings, and stories about people and events that have shaped our Cape Town community today. I have an Honours Degree in History and love sharing the stories of Cape Town.
Tours are flexible, the pace is at your comfort level.
Now in my 20th year of private tour guiding, I have designed several different walks, please email or WhatsApp me with any questions or special requests that you may have.
For your tour, we simply arrange to meet at a convenient time and place and then proceed on foot.
I look forward to meeting you.
Private, tailor-made city walking tours
Now in my 20th year of guiding, I specialise in private, walking tours of Cape Town, with special emphasis on the history of South Africa.
Our historic city bowl is rich in heritage and offers a mix of historical buildings, architecture, museums, churches, art galleries, boutique shops, artisanal coffee shops and cute eating spots.
The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is a success story and inclusive to everyone. On the surface you see a vast array of shops, restaurants, boat trips, hotels along with, entertainment for all ages.
Built for defense during the middle of the 17th century, the Castle of Good Hope is the oldest surviving building in South Africa. Within its wall there are an abundance of historical stories including about our First Nations (Khoi and San), the Dutch East India Company along with the military history of resistance wars.
The first cultivated garden in South Africa; a fusion of magnificent trees, landscaped gardens, and memorial art, all surrounded by several historical buildings.
The tour covers three and a half centuries of social history.
I have designed a selection of walking tours with an extra emphasis being placed on specific interests. The tours are based around the Heritage Walking Tour, but provide a more detailed insight.
