Good day Guru Walkers, Welcome and thank you for reaching out to us. 😃 Our guests have reviewed us to be the top rated GuruWalk tour operator in Cape Town and South Africa 🇿🇦. They also highly recommend us as well. In fact, we are the first GuruWalk operator in Southern Africa to reach over 100, 200 and then 300 reviews with mostly 5 🌟 ratings. We are a wife and husband team which offers the most scheduled tours per week. Guide Bridget is a professional registered Regional and Provincial Cultural Tourist Guide (WC12124). Guide Michael is a professional registered Regional and Provincial Cultural Tourist Guide (WC12125), as well as a registered National Overnight Off Trail Mountain Adventure and Trekking Tourist Guide. We also enjoy membership with the Cape Tourist Guide's Association. 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.
