Free walking tours in Kapstadt

Very detailed on the history of SA and background of colonialism

Tolle Tour, sehr interessante Orte, wirklich sympathischer Guide! Vielen Dank für den schönen Nachmittag 😊

Rubin was a fantastic guide and I would highly recommend this tour. I have been on a lot of tours from guru walk in different cities and this one definitely had by far the most explanation of the history of the city and the country - there is a lot of content to cover!

In terms of historical information the best tour I ever attended

Rubin is amazing! He has so much knowledge, he remembers so many facts and details and he is such a nice and friendly person. Thanks so much for everything! We learned a lot.

I enjoyed Rubin's tour very very much, I am passionate about history and the level of detail he masters is just amazing. Also, hearing his personal experience during the apartheid regime was extremely touching and instructive. If you're are an history freak as well, do not miss him!

Great informative walking tour! We learnt so much

Ruben has a masterful knowledge of the history of Cape Town. He is very proficient with dates and timelines and same must be a history professor from the detail of information he presents.

Nethan was a great guide. We enjoyed bringt around with him and get to know the City and its history. He gave us some good recommendations and Provided a very delicous Snack during the tour.

Nathan was very friendly, demonstrated a lot of knowledge and made us feel safe and comfortable. special thanks for the courtesy of introducing us to the traditional koesistes!

Great and passionate history teller. I liked a lot!

Nathan was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining about Bo Kaap and history surrounding it. He provided time for questions and answered clearly. He made sure that everyone participated which kept us all engaged.

Super Guide, sehr interessant erzählt, super nett und viel gelernt. Vielen Dank 🥰🫶

The best free walking tour I’ve ever done, hands down. Michael was the perfect tour guide for this tour. He shared his lived experience. He provided historical context and related it well to the stops on the tour. But the personal connection to what he was sharing is what made this tour so special and impactful. Go into the tour with an open mind and be prepared to see South Africa with a new perspective. It’s a tour which really makes you think. We did it at the beginning of our holiday and we are glad we did. It emphasized for us the complexity of this country. Thank you, Michael!

Rubin was great! I learned a lot about the history of South Africa and he did an excellent job of making events come to life. He was also ready at a moment's notice to answer additional questions, demonstrating that his knowledge extended far beyond what our 2 hours allowed him to share (aka he had not simply memorized a script). I highly recommend!

Rubin knows a lot about the history of South Africa/Capetown. He is well spoken and could answer all my questions. It was very interesting!

Nathan, war ein super Guru. Gab sogar eine kleine Überraschung.

After visiting the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg and touring Soweto before coming to Cape Town, I found this tour of Michael’s to be far more interesting and informative. Michael’s polished presentation-style is riveting and the personal experience he brings to the stories he tells gives insights that I can’t imagine getting from any other guide. Thank you, Michael, for your dedication to sharing your knowledge and experiences with others.

Micheal was very knowledgeable so it was a very insightful tour and great to do on your first day to see the main attractions, learn about the city and get your bearings. This website specifically says the tours are free and you tip what you think is appropriate and I’ve booked walking tours via Guru in multiple cities across the world and done exactly that. However Micheal insisted on no less than 200 Rand per person as a tip.

Really good tour and Bridget was especially hot on safety, eg she said she would stand with her back to the attraction she was talking about so we could see better and she could look out for pick pockets etc. Really knowledgable and managed to fit in a lot in the 1.5 hours, including good photo stops. She was very kind and chatty!

This tour was a very special one. It is impossible to explain in words. All I can tell is that we have learnt a lot and got very happy with all the exchange. Ilyas is such a nice person, presented us to diferent perspective which we would never know if only walk around Bo Kaap streets and the colorful houses without the tour. Thank you very much for this. You deserve the best.

Rushdi ist ein super Guide mit viel Wissen und einer angenehmen und humorvollen Art. Wir lernen viel über die Geschichte von Cap Town und konnten neue Orte erkunden. Rushdi gab uns ausserdem gute Tipps für nach der Tour. Wir können die Tour sehr empfehlen!

A great local tour by a local tour guide Michael Wilcox! A great way to see this neighborhood and learn the true history of it, plus a bonus to learn of the local eatery along the route & spice store!

This was so informative. We'll worth the time.

Was fantastic, funny, friendly and very helpful Thank you so much
