This is where the soul of Cape Town pulsates!

Experience first hand the daily lives of ordinary people; visit creative workshops and community projects.

Meet workers and entrepreneurs, a traditional healer and socialise at a tavern or shebeen.

These are a few of the activities that contribute to the diverse cultural fabric unique to the Cape. Worthwhile non governmental projects ascribing to the “hand up not hand out” motto will also be visited.

Colonial Figures or "Colons"

After a brief panoramic of the City covering the main historical and architectural sights, this flexible tour continues on foot (weather permitting) and by car to explore the art world at specially selected galleries and artists’ studios, chosen to give insight into contemporary and traditional South African arts.

Incorporated in the tour is the SA Museum, which has a particularly fine rock art exhibit for those interested in art through the ages.

With the myriad new markets which have opened around Cape Town (eg Biscuit Mill and the Hout Bay Market in the Harbour) we are spoilt for choice on Weekends.

Not to mention favourite staples like the Montebello Design Centre in Newlands, Art in the Forest as well as other Non Governmental Projects (NGO’s) like The Tea Bag Project and the Paper Making Literacy project in Hout Bay.

Hump Back Whale

Both sea views and mountain scenery will vie for your attention. Hermanus is a pretty seaside resort which boasts a railway station that has never seen a train!

Enjoy a relaxing day watching whales from numerous, easily accessible vantage points as they come into Walke

There is also the opportunity to engage in optional boat based whale viewing where specially licensed operators are permitted to come within 50m of these gentle mammals. This activity depends entirely on the weather as well as availability when booking.

Botanical Safari -Visit Unique Cape Gardens

If you have time during your stay and are a lover of Gardens, why not indulge yourself and explore hand picked private and public gardens around Cape Town and meet fellow gardening enthusiasts?

This theme may also be very easily incorporated into the Peninsula, City or Winelands tours as many of the gardens we visit have historical and cultural significance.
