Discover Cape Town Like a Local – Unique Small Group Tours with Local Guides.

Visiting Cape Town – where to start and what to see.

Welcome to Cape Town — Discover It Like a Local!

Experience Cape Town beyond the typical travel brochure with our locally guided small group tours. We’re three passionate Capetonians who love uncovering hidden gems, local stories, and the authentic soul of the Mother City.

Born and raised in Cape Town, we’ve spent years exploring every corner — from scenic coastal drives and historic neighborhoods to local food spots and vibrant cultural experiences. As both locals and seasoned travelers, we know what makes a tour truly unforgettable: personal touches, insider access, and authentic, flexible experiences.

Our tours are:

  • Small and intimate, ensuring a personal experience

  • Tailored to your interests — whether that’s food, nature, culture, or photography

  • Led by locals who live and breathe Cape Town

Whether you’re here for the iconic views, Table Mountain, Cape Winelands, street art, or hidden beaches, we’ll guide you through it all — with insight, stories, and local flavor you won’t find in guidebooks.

Let’s go beyond the brochure — and discover the real Cape Town, together.
