A Memorable Cape Town Tour with Sebastião - I have to share the awesome time we had in Cape Town with the best tour guide ever! Seriously, this guy made our trip epic. Right from the get-go, he hit us with those good vibes—super chill and friendly. It wasn't your usual city tour; it was like a journey led by a buddy who happened to know EVERYTHING about Cape Town. The dude was practically a walking encyclopedia, but way more fun. What blew us away was his knack for storytelling. He could turn a simple history lesson into a gripping tale that had us hooked. It was like exploring the city with a live-action storyteller—it made all the difference. We got to know Sebastião on a personal level, and it was like hanging out with a long-lost friend. He spilled the beans on some cool local spots and shared stories that had us cracking up. And when it comes to being supportive, Sebastião was top-notch. Always making sure we were comfy, throwing in suggestions for killer photo ops—basically, he had our backs. To sum it up, Cape Town wouldn't have been half as awesome without Sebastião! He's not just good at his job; he's the kind of person you would like to grab a drink with and hear more stories from. If you want a tour that's not just informative but also a total blast, this is your guy. Thanks for all the memories, Tião!

Langa Township tour, Cape Town - Excellent service from Sebastian. He was punctual, polite, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. Our guide through the Langa township, Naty, was equally professional and such good company. Friendly, informative and utterly appropriate. We spent an hour walking through the township, seeing the variety of dwellings and learning about the people who live here and the history ot the settlement. I can thoroughly recommend this tour. I was slighlty anxious and keen not to cause insult by our presence, but my concerns were unfounded.Do it, it`s a profound experience for first world travellers.
