Cape Town City Tour
Full day tour with the possibility of shopping in the afternoon or visiting the Two Oceans Aquarium.

Robben Island Tour
Do we need to say anything of this island?? Robben Island is one of the most significant historical sites in South Africa. Trips to the island are very popular. They depart every hour on the hour. It is a three hour excursion to see the prison where President Mandela was kept with other political prisoners. You will also be taken on a bus trip around the island. Definitely worth while.

Cultural tours of Township & City

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:42:31 +0000

We are very fortunate to have very experienced guides when it comes to a township tour. We ONLY like to do this tour with a small group of 2 to maximum 7 people. Reason is that we are very sensitive to the areas that we visit. We make sure that you will not have a “zoo-experience”.
One of our guides has worked in the township for a long time and will see to it that you meet the local people.

Please read our brochure and know that this tour will be conducted in an unmarked micro bus.We see you as friends visiting our friends. This is normally a half day tour, but it could be combined with any major attraction in Cape Town or of course with Robben Island.

A tour to the townships will result in an understanding of the evolution of the Mother City. It will also give one an insight into the ethnic character of the city.

We will visit the most devastating example of forced removals in Cape Town (District 6) and move on to the townships of the Cape Flats where we will meet the children of the areas, enjoy refreshments at a spaza (township shop), visit a shebeen (tavern), photograph the “khayas” (township houses) and visit the open-air meat market of Nyanga.This cultural tour will enrich one’s thinking and create a better understanding of the Mother City.
