Hello! I'm Claudia — your local Cape Town expert with a global heart. Originally from the U.S., I’ve called Cape Town home for over 37 years, and I’ve never stopped falling in love with its dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm people. As a registered private tourist guide, I specialize in tailor-made tours that go far beyond the usual highlights. Whether we’re exploring the iconic Table Mountain, Cape Point, or hidden coastal gems, I’ll show you the city's best photo ops, flavors, and stories — all at your pace and to your taste. I am passionate about road cycling, art, and photography, so I bring a creative lens to every tour. Love food and wine? Let’s head to the Winelands for tastings that include wine-and-chocolate pairings, biltong, cheese, and unforgettable local cuisine — from Cape Malay to seafood feasts and sunset picnics. Do you prefer something active or outdoorsy? We can hike, bike, stroll through sculpture gardens, or browse local markets. I also offer custom trips to Hermanus, the Garden Route, and Big-5 safaris near Port Elizabeth for those with more time. Let me craft a private tour that feels more like travelling with a savvy friend—one who knows all the shortcuts, stories, and secret spots. Cape Town is magic… come discover why! Information: I am a registered tourist guide in the Western Cape and can guide tourists up the Garden Route as far as Port Elizabeth. My car, Toyota Fortuner SUV, is fully licensed, registered, and accredited with the NPTR Operating Licence, and I am insured for personal liability. I hold the required PDP driver's license. My First Aid certificate is up to date and valid. I have completed an Introductory Course in Wine Appreciation. I am a proud CTGA - Cape Town Tourist Guides Association member.

    Thank you Heike, it was an honour to tour through the city with David, Linda and Oliver. They are such a sweet family! They were very engaged and interested in the history and its diverse culture. 🇿🇦 I’m so happy that they have embraced South Africa during their 6 month stay! Dankie again! Claudia

    What a wonderful day. Claudia picked us up promptly at the hotel for our peninsula tour. She clearly is a local with excellent driving skills. She navigated some back road out or Camps Bay to avoid traffic so we could beat the crowds. We drove the peninsula counter clockwise, which was a good idea. We arrived right on time to see the adorable Penguins at Boulder’s Beach....

    Thanks so much, Paul. What an easy guest to tour with and to have you embrace the country. Your flexibility in travelling the route in reverse was greatly appreciated, allowing you to avoid crowds and maximise time, views, and hidden gems. The Deep South (Cape Point, Simons Town, and Chapman's Peak) offers unrivalled views with photo opportunities around every corner....

    We had a perfect day touring to the Fairview and Haute Cabrière wineries in Franschhoek. Tour guide Claudia was in all aspects wonderful. She arranged the itinerary according to our wishes and her choices for the wineries, the wine (and cheese) tasting and lunch were spot on. She arrived promptly, drove responsibly, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. At the wineries,...

    Thank you so much, Paul, for your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure spending the day with you in Franschhoek and sharing some of the Cape Winelands. I’m very glad you, Ivo and Fabienne enjoyed the winery selections, tastings and lunch, and that the day's pace suited you well. We returned in time for you to prepare for the Marathon the next morning. Franschhoek is a...

    After ten years as a guide, Claudia has mastered the art of creating a personalized experience that felt more like spending the day with a knowledgeable friend than being on a guided tour. Claudia managed to ensure that we got to see all the very best of Cape Town. I think our favorite experience was the magical Chapman's Peak Drive. And let me add that Claudia is an...

    Thank you for your beautifully written review. After ten years of guiding, it’s always a joy to share Cape Town with wonderful people like yourselves. I’m so glad Chapman’s Peak was a highlight for you — we certainly captured the golden hour. Magnificent! Thank you as well for your trust, enthusiasm, and kind words about my guiding and photography. Most of all, I’m...
