Ich bin ein Sohn der 6. Generation, der in Bokaap geboren wurde. Unsere Gemeinde stammt von Sklaven und politischen Exilanten aus dem Fernen Osten ab. Als registrierter Reiseführer in Kapstadt biete ich Wandertouren im Citybowl und Bokaap an und teile die Geschichte und Kultur unserer Gemeinde mit der Welt. Ich würde Ihnen gerne unsere Nachbarschaft zeigen. Ich habe eine starke Verbindung zur weiteren Gemeinde. Ich bin Direktor des Bokaap-Tourismusverbands und Direktor des Bokaap Helpers Garden, einer gemeinnützigen Organisation in der Stadt, die sich auf Gemeinschaftsgärten konzentriert. Ich kenne Robben Island sehr gut, da ich dort auch über 10 Jahre gelebt habe.
Was really nice to visit a neighborhood where our guide grew up. It made the experience very personal. Definitly would recommend the tour.
Ilyas is from Bokaap and this authenticity massively enriches the whole tour experience. We learned a lot about the history, culture and experience today of the Malay community that lives there. For example, his reason for why the buildings are painted their colours and how they are maintained is so simple, yet slightly different to those not from the area. Ilyas is a gentle soul with a great sense of humour - couldn’t recommend him and the tour enough.
Abbiamo fatto il tour con Muhammad, guida fantastica che con entusiasmo ci ha mostrato lo speciale quartiere di Bo Kaap! Consiglio vivamente questa esperienza
You will not be disappointed if you take a walking tour with Muhammad Ilyas around the Bo-kaap district. Everything about the tour was excellent, from the places we visited, the history and stories behind the Cape Malay people that Ilyas shared with us, to the people we met and food that we ate. Ilyas made sure that we were safe at all times and wanted us all to have an enjoyable couple of hours as we toured his neighbourhood and met his community. What are you waiting for? Book up now!
Great informative walking tour! We learnt so much
