Rubin - Tour Guide in Cape Town

Hi. My name is Rubin Isaacs, born and raised in Cape Town all my life. I am an authentic qualified registered Culture tourguide in my city.

I have a passion to travel and has been traveling to different countries over the last 20 years. Having traveled to many countries, I can honestly agree that Cape Town is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world. I always get excited when I do walking tours in my city, sharing her history and culture with visiting tourists.

There is little Rubin doesn’t know about this subject. It was fascinating and comprehensive. Some of it saddened me, but I can’t remember a better delivered tour in all my travels.

Response from Rubin
Hi. Pauline. Thank you for your review. I always don't look on this tour as something that I have to do but something that I want to do. Your review is very much encouraging to me. Safe travels.

Visitors to Cape Town (especially white people) should take this tour. And it’s not just for those interested in a critical examination of colonial history—which continues to this day—but for anyone who is truly interested in this place. You’ll see the city through different eyes. Rubin impresses with his extensive knowledge, explains the context clearly and passionately, and is open to questions. It was the most memorable activity I did in Cape Town. Thank you, Rubin!

Response from Rubin

Reuben gives a very thorough and frank history of Cape Town and in fact South Africa. He was extremely knowledgeable and aware of how the history has shaped Capetown. He was informative and thought provoking. A really excellent guide. We were very pleased to have him as our guide.
