I'm a 6th generation son born in the Bokaap. Our community are decendants of slaves and political exiles from the far east as a registered guide in Cape town I offer walking tours in the citybowl and bokaap sharing our communities history and culture with the world I'd love to show you around our neighborhood. I have a strong connection to the broader community. I'm a director of the bokaap tourism association and a director of Bokaap helpers garden. which is a NPO in the city focusing on community gardening. Have an intimate knowledge of Robben Island as a lived there for over 10 years too.
Ilyas is an amazing guide. He did not only walk us through Bo-Kaap but also introduced us to various locals. Besides talking about South African/ Bo-Kaap history, he also shared so many stories about his upbringing, family, community projects etc. which made the tour even more interesting. I‘d highly recommend joining one of his walking tours!!
If you want to see and learn about Bo-Kaap in a real authentic way, this is the guy you should choose! We were all very happy that we got Muhammed as our guru walker in Bo-Kaap. 10 out of 10.
Really enjoyed the part where he showed us his community, and tried homemade donuts!
Tour molto piacevole e interessante. Si puo' percepire la vita reale e la guida super simpatica
Excelente guia, servicial. Nos ayudó con traducciones el poco inglés que sabíamos. Explico con detalle la historia del barrio.Abrio para nosotros una mezquita. Nos envito a merendar como unos buñuelos en casa de un familiar. Nos dijo donde vivía. Os recomiendo si duda este tour y sobretodo este guia.
