About this activity

Ready to experience a side of Cape Town like a local, with a local? This is a tour, unlike any other! If you want to take a step away from the touristy path, there's no better way than by diving into the city's alternative side. Welcome to Woodstock!

If you're done with the main highlights, why not step away and take a less-traveled path that will show you an unexpected side of Cape Town? Follow a local guide on a private tour full of surprises and check out Old Biscuit Mill, District six museum, and more that let the true form of the city shine!
