Local tour of fascinating Cape Town - Christopher’s tour was top notch. I recommend anyone who wants to get past the surface level things to dive into a local’s tour.

Getting to know a great city. - My husband and I had a great experience walking for 4 hours through Capetown with Sebastian. Not only does he have a very eleborate knowledge of the history of South-Africa, Capetown and its people, he also has a great sense of humour. He is very kind and makes you feel safe at any moment. If you are looking for someone to guide you through this city, look no further: Sebastian is the man you need.

Good to explore more of the city - Parinita was an excellent guide. She took us to all the places we wanted to see and gave us tips on where to eat. This is a really good way to learn about the history of the city and to see places like Bo Kaap, where the hop on hop off bus doesn't go.

Excellent introduction to Cape Town - We (a group of 4 adults) have chosen the Withlocals company and their guide Sebastian to show us Cape Town based on feedback from other customers. And it was a good decision 🙂 We can confirm the very positive oppinions from other travelers. Sebastian is a very competent, friendly and supportive guide. During the 4 hours walking tour through the center of Cape Town we have learned a lot about different aspects of the city and about the history of South Africa. If you come to Cape Town for the first time, we can warmly recommend to engage the Withlocals company and Sebastian as a guide at the begining of your stay to give you an excellent introduction to this amazing city.

Outstanding tour with Sebastian - Our family of four, with two teen agers, discovered Cape Town guided by Sebastian. We truly enjoy all, from begining to end. Sebastian has an incredible knowledge of the city and South Africa from all points of views, historical, political, social… His insight in the history of the people shouldn’t be missed, and wait to hear his personal family experience during apartheid. He is vey kind, well spoken and his passion shines through! He also gave us recommendations of things to see and places to eat fantastic African food. Thanks for a wonderful day Sebastian!!

So personal. Great job - Our tour guide was amazing! He went above and beyond. Our plans got changed last minute that day, we asked if we could move our time up to start our tour earlier, and he left his own vacation early just to accommodate us. What a wonderful gesture! He was so knowledgeable and kind. He even took us to the right location so we could meet the rest of our tour group at the correct time. He was so sweet! Highly recommend

Stroll the city - A great introduction to Cape Town. And the four-hour walking tour was perfect following a long stretch of flying the day before. Sebastian was an excellent guide. He obviously enjoyed what he did, and knew more history than we could absorb in an our short time together. He was also happy to talk about current events. He will also quickly set you straight -- with a smile -- on the difference between what South African's call a braai and a barbecue.

A Must Do - We just returned from our first time in Cape Town. We did an amazing guided walking tour with our host Sebastian. We hightly recommend doing this tour. From the beginning to the end, Sebastian was outstanding. He shared his expertise of the history and city's vibrant culture making this experience a truly memorable one. He gave of recommendations of things to see and places to eat during our stay. Sebastian took us on a journey and he exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful time exploring this beautiful city. We saw places we would probably not have otherwise seen. Our only suggestion is to do the tour at the front end of your stay. We did ours closer to the end of our time there and wished we had done the tour sooner.

Walking tour of Cape Town city centre - Sebastian was a fascinating host for our orientation to the sights and history of Cape Town, entertaining, insightful and informative. He kept in touch before our visit to ask if we had any specific interests and to ensure everything went smoothly for our meet up, which was very reassuring. We’d highly recommend a tour with Sebastian.
