Soy hijo de la sexta generación nacido en Bokaap. Nuestra comunidad está formada por descendientes de esclavos y exiliados políticos del lejano oriente. Como guía registrado en Ciudad del Cabo, ofrezco free tours en Citybowl y Bokaap, donde comparto la historia y la cultura de nuestras comunidades con el mundo. Me encantaría mostrarte nuestro vecindario. Tengo una fuerte conexión con la comunidad en general. Soy director de la asociación de turismo de Bokaap y director de Bokaap Helpers Garden, que es una organización sin fines de lucro en la ciudad que se centra en la jardinería comunitaria. También tengo un conocimiento profundo de Robben Island, ya que viví allí durante más de 10 años.
Ilyas is a fabulous local tour guide that gave us a genuine insight into the Bo-Kaap community. He is extremely passionate about his home and is very knowledgeable. I attended many walking tours around the word and I have to say this was one of the best. Thank you very much!
It was a very extraordinary tour. Ilyas telled us so many informations about Bo-Kaap, its inhabitants and their history. We even got to try traditional Koesisters in his aunt's house. Thank you so much for this excellent tour. If we ever come back to CT(with our kids ;-)) we will visit Ilyas again. All the best for you!
Muhammad was very communicative from the start. He gave us a good parking recommendation as we drone into Bo-Kaap. He greeted us promptly, kindly and we instantly felt his warmth. Muhammad is a very knowledgeable resident of Bo-Kaap, his popularity and spirit is evident as we walked around the neighbourhood. We were welcomed into a mosque which was a special moment. We learned so much about the history of the community and how the area has and is evolving. The tour really felt personal as we were invited into homes of the locals residents and heard their stories. Muhammad is so friendly, respectful, engaging and interesting. His humbleness made the tour great. Very inspiring and insightful. We definitely recommend taking a tour with Muhammad, he also tours on Robben Island. You won’t regret it. *****
One of the best guides around . Don’t miss this tour.
