Touching, positive experience, recommended - I experienced the tour very positively. Our Guide, Aby was a very pleasant woman and made sure we definitely felt safe. She has shown us many things like a school, graffiti works, their cultural center and house magwinya for a nice snack. I recommend everyone to do this!

Authentic insight into the life of the Khayelitsha community - Our tour with Abby was great! She took a lot of time for us and is passionate about it. She grew up in the township herself and could answer any of our questions and show us everything. An interesting and authentic insight into life in Khayelitsha. The impressions there definitely make you think. Thank you for letting us have this experience. I can only recommend the tour.

Highlight of trip - I returned to Cape Town to visit after many years. This time bringing my young son and some friends. Everyone agreed this tour and the wonderful community in Khayelitsha is the highlight so far of the trip. Thank you for welcoming us into your homes and giving us the gifts of your stories.

Must-do cultural tour - One of the best & most memorable experiences we had in Cape Town. My wife & I joined Juma and guide Abby on a tour of Khayelitsha, focusing on street art and meeting young artists and touring informal neighborhoods and talking to residents. Very enlightening and meaningful. You have not fully experienced South Africa until you have experienced township life. Well worth it.

Culturally unmolested tours - Arranged a 1 on 1 private with concierge at my hotel. The tour was amazing. Went to a Sunday church service, visited a local souvenir shop owned by women and went to a Braai barbecue mall, food was delicious. Highly recommend creating your own personal tours.
