Cape Town is vast and layered—and with limited time, it can be hard to know where to start. This experience solves that by connecting you with a host who lives and breathes the city. Whether you want to walk through leafy parks, trace the city’s colonial past, dive into the food scene, or simply uncover places guidebooks skip, your host will tailor a flexible route just for you.

Within 24 hours of booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire. Based on your responses, we’ll match you with a like-minded host who will reach out to finalize your itinerary and meeting point. Expect relaxed conversation, spontaneous moments, and a local perspective that transforms your visit into something unforgettable.
