Overview

Forget the tourist traps, let’s eat like locals! On this immersive Cape Town food tour, we dive into the colorful soul of the Bo-Kaap, where the aromatic spices of the Cape Malay community meet the sizzle of a traditional South African braai.

Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll navigate cobblestone streets and hidden back alleys that guidebooks miss. We’ve curated 6 unique stops that tell the story of the Rainbow Nation. You’ll learn the authentic art of eating pap with your hands, savor comforting street food favorites, and discover how Dutch, British, and indigenous African flavors fused into one of the world’s most exciting food scenes.

From vibrant markets to tucked-away gems, you’ll meet the artisans keeping these traditions alive. We’ll even share our legendary Secret Dish, a surprise kept strictly off-menu that captures the essence of the Mother City. Come hungry; you’ll leave with a full stomach and the inside track on the city’s best eats.
