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

Food, Culture & City Tour! - Gilbert was fantastic! He touched base prior to the tour, so we knew where to meet and what to expect. The food choices and locations were authentic and varied which gave a great idea of multiple local foods. While doing the tour he included much information about the people, culture, and the city. I would recommend this to all ages!

More than just a food tour! - We did the 10 tastings food tour on our first full day in Cape Town. This was certainly more than just a food tour. Gilbert was a wonderful guide that included the history of the city as well. We were able to experience where the locals eat and learn about the culture and history of the foods we were trying. We learned SO much and appreciated the extra time Gilbert gave us as we made our way to the waterfront. I would 100% recommend Gilbert has a tour guide and this tour!!

More than a food tour! - Parinita was wonderful! She answered all of my questions and I had a lot, lol! It’s more than a just a food tour, we learned so much about the city of Cape Town and have a new appreciation for their harrowing journey to democracy. The East African cuisine was my favorite part!!

Extraordinary experience - It was really a very interesting and informative tour. You can also see Cape Town from a different side and Bulelani has been able to tell us a lot about the history of Cape Town. You should definitely come hungry because you will definitely get fed up. We can really recommend the tour to everyone who is open to other cultures and not just the tourist spots. Thanks for the experience:)!
