Cape town shaping a Nation Walking Tour - I live in Cape Town and know much of the history, but taking my family from NZ with Adeola on this tour was so informative, fascinating, historical and well told and explained. Great storytelling. the one disappointing thing was to see the Castle of Good Hope in the state of disrepair. (no fault of our guide) this is a historical fort and should be maintained to keep to standards of museums. really sad. however we loved everything and everywhere we went in this exquisite City of Cape Town. A must do tour.
