All five of us thought the guide was amazing. Deeply knowledgeable, a good speaker, and a concerned listener. We were a mixture of natives, ex-pats, and foreigners and we all learned a lot.

What an interesting place, and the guide Ilyas, used his charm and experience as a long term resident to really bring to life the community. Hence on the short 1 hour walk around Bo Kaap we met and saw residents. Totally recommend Ilyas and the Bo Kaap tour

We had the most amazing time with Rafiq and his cousin. We learned a lot about Bo-Kaap, we had a chance to walk in whole district and feel safe. Rafiq is an incredible guide : he teached us a lot about the story, about him and we also had a chance to talk about other very interesting topics. I definitely recommend to book this tour !
