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.

A big thank you to my guide, Rubin, for this fascinating walking tour. I saw a different side of Cape Town and learned a lot about the local history from someone who has lived through some of these issues. I appreciated my guide encouraging me to ask questions during the tour. Very glad I managed to take this tour before leaving South Africa. Highly recommend this experience for those who want to dig deeper into the local history.

The tour was great. Very interesting, very historical and political. Rubin answered to all our questions (which made the tour longer). We wished we could have learned more about Rubin :)

Want to understand history through the eyes of someone who actually lived it? This tour is exactly that. Rubin, a true Capetonian, takes you through the city streets where history unfolded, explaining South Africa’s journey from communism-era influences and apartheid to democracy in a deeply personal and authentic way. What makes the experience special is not only the historical knowledge, but also Rubin’s own life stories and experiences over the past 70 years, which bring the events to life. We absolutely loved the tour. Thank you, Rubin, for sharing your stories and for your patience in answering all our questions. A truly memorable and human experience of Cape Town’s history.
