Foods Plus…. - Our time with the very knowledgable and personable Chris was terrific. Aside from an introduction of South African foods he gave us an excellent perspective on history and culture.

Foodie perfect tour in Cape Town - Darryl is the absolute best tour guide I’ve ever had in all of my touring all over the world. He was wonderfully educated, listen to the places we had already been and set up a tour for us that allowed us to go to places not only we’ve never been, but that we had never expected to go. I can highly recommend him to anyone coming to South Africa!

An Amazing day - We arrived late in Cape town, and Gilbert accommodated us, even meeting us on the side of the road to find parking as we drop in from the airport. It was an amazing day, learning all the history and the food was really tasty. Thanks for sharing your wonderful history with us. God bless, Clint and Louise.

Great way to experience - The tour was a great way to experience Cape Town in a new light. Buleani not only introduced us to great local food, but also provided us with a fascinating look into the history of his country. He also took our food preferences into account and we got a lot of food during the tour, some of which we took in a doggy bag for later. Overall great experience.

Great information - We got the great tour we expected, and so much more. Our guide was so friendly, and we had great conversations about all kinds of things, not just the food. But the in-depth knowledge of the history of food and culture was exceptional

Awesome tour - We had an awesome time with Gilbert. He took us to try a lot of local food (all delicious!) and give us lots of explanation on the town history and daily live. We could feel his passion of this city and it was great to meet all of his shop friends. Everyone was very welcoming and very nice. We also greatly appreciated that no food was wasted (leftovers were given to homeless). In addition Gilbert also gave us lot of recommendation on where/what to eat for our trip- that was greatly appreciated! We highly recommend this tour with Gilbert if you are a food/history lover

A disappointment., unfortunately - A disappointment, unfortunately! We only visited 4 places, and one of these was only a bun and another just a can of beer (dutch att first, but they switched to a localized brew when I pointed this out). The guide didn't have very much to say about the food and the various local culture group. The tour ended after only 2 hours. We did not visit company gardens, nor return to the starting point. She took us to places we probably wouldn't have visited ourself, which was nice, but in all, very expensive simple street food.

Unfortunately disappointing! - Did not quite keep what they promised. Instead of 10 places we were at 4, one of which was just a can of beer. The tour took 2 hours instead of 3, the guide was late, didn't have much to say, and didn't seem very committed. Quite expensive for quite simple street food, in the first place just a bun. It was fun to go to places we don’t dare to go into ourselves, but we didn’t get much for our money. Can not recommend!
