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.
roots in the area, which truly enhanced our experience. He shared fascinating insights into Cape Malay history and its vibrant community. During our visit, we explored a mosque and even went to his auntie’s house, where we savored her delightful koeksisters. As we wandered through Bo-Kaap, Illyas provided captivating explanations of both the past and present situations in the area and Cape Town. His warmth, deep knowledge, and sense of humor made our time with him unforgettable. It was a wonderful morning that we cherished on our second day in Cape Town. Thank you, Illyas! If you ever find yourself in Perth, please reach out to us.
Good inside view to the Bo-Kaap Cape Malay neighborhood, visiting not only the tourist sights of colorful houses but also learning the stories behind the place from someone whose family lived there for generations
Ilyas gave me a private tour in Bo-Kaap. He told me very impressively about the story of Bo-Kaap. He showed me the oldest mosques and introduced me to some of his friends and family. I was even able to try the Koesister specialty, which was incredibly delicious. I can only advise everyone to book a tour with Ilyas. It will be very informative and delicious. If someone is interested in volunteer projects, he is also the right contact person.
Es war eine sehr interessante Führung mit viel Detailwissen. Schöne Atmosphäre und viele, viele Informationen.
