art for sustainability and community building - A very nice experience with beautiful wall paintings about sustainability and community building. It is in Woodstock - a suburb where normally tourists don't come. Highly recommended.

Street Art tour - I enjoyed a lot this tour. It is different from any other tour I did in the city. Xolani had so much knowledge of the area and the paintings that I could get a deep insight of the artists and the Neighborhood. I recommend this tour 100%.

Great perspective on Woodstock - I try to hit up a street art tour in every city I visit. Often, it is a way to get to know the counter-culture of the city which is exciting. There were some impressive and inspiring pieces on this tour and our guide provided background on the people on the neighborhood and the artists for each one including the messages behind their works. Many were sponsored or commissioned pieces which can reflect the vision and hope of the community. There was some surprising (to a visitor) street art too that really indicated the politics and view of the people. It was eye-opening but also good to know where some community members stand on important issues. The commentary about subjects other than art was interesting as well and I enjoyed our discussion and tips for places to go too. I recommend this tour.

Interesting tour with a great guide - This was our first tour upon arriving in Cape Town and it was an excellent introduction to the people, history and culture of the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and he was able to provide context and history on each piece of art. We were lucky to be the only people on the tour that we booked, so it was like having a private guide. I definitely enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone.
