Sono un figlio di sesta generazione nato a Bokaap. La nostra comunità è discendente di schiavi ed esuli politici dall'estremo oriente. Come guida registrata a Città del Capo offro free walking tour nel citybowl e a Bokaap, condividendo la storia e la cultura delle nostre comunità con il mondo. Mi piacerebbe mostrarvi il nostro quartiere. Ho un forte legame con la comunità più ampia. Sono un direttore della Bokaap Tourism Association e un direttore del Bokaap Helpers Garden, un'organizzazione non governativa della città che si concentra sul giardinaggio comunitario. Ho una conoscenza approfondita di Robben Island, poiché ci ho vissuto per oltre 10 anni.
Great guide with a lot of knowledge. We really appreciated our time with him. He was friendly, engaging, and made the experience truly memorable.
Mohammed was very engaging and informative. He has a wealth of knowledge and was a lot of fun to be with. Highly recommended.
We had such a great time on the tour with Ilyas! As a true local to the area, he has a personal connection and love for the community that made the tour so much more impactful. Ilyas went above and beyond to introduce us to members of the community (he really knows everyone), share personal stories of his life there, and even took us to see the community garden and inside some of the houses to meet with other lifelong residents. Ilyas is incredibly knowledgeable and professional but the thing that really stood out about the experience was how unique and personal it was. I definitely recommend exploring Bo-kaap with Ilyas.
What a great chance to have a tour of culturally significant place with a local! Ilyas was special as we really get to hear from his experiences, we didn’t just take pics of the colorful houses, we went inside listening to the stories and really felt like a special tour. I strongly urge everyone to book local guides and support the local community!
