Michael's uncle (who is still alive today) was the neighbour of Nelson Mandela when he spent nearly 7 years in the jail cell right next door to him, between 1972 and 1979, as a political prisoner on Robben Island.
For more about this, you may want to book our "Robben Island Untold" walking tour. For further information regarding his topic w also have the "Oppression and Apartheid to Liberation and Corruption" walking tour.
We loved the tour with Michael!! He explained the apartheid era really well and answered all our questions about this difficult and painful time. It’s definitely worth it for anyone who wants to learn more about the country’s history. We highly recommend it!
I loved the tour with Bridget!!! She answered all our questions and explained the culture of Bo-Kaap really well!!! I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone coming to Cape Town!
Our guide Michale was incredible and very professional. His tour was an emotional and deep trip into the real history of South Africa. We absolutely recommend this tour! Thank you Michael!!
I had an amazing experience on the Bo-Kaap tour with Bridget! She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about the history and culture of the area. Bridget brought the colorful streets and rich traditions of Bo-Kaap to life with her storytelling. I learned so much and felt truly connected to the community. This tour was definitely a highlight of my time in Cape Town — highly recommended!
Unvarnished history, pop culture, and a safe walking experience….Michael gave it all. I was surprised to learn the unique history of Bo Kaap and its important link to the evolution of South Africa and its peoples.
