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 nearly 40 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 specialise in tailor-made tours that go well 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 opportunities, flavours, and stories — all at your pace and to your taste. I am passionate about road cycling, art, and photography, so I bring a creative eye 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 walk along the Sea Point Promenade, visit Kirstenbosch Gardens and sculpture gardens, or browse local markets. I also offer customised 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 an experienced friend—someone who knows all the shortcuts., stories, and secret spots. Cape Town is magical… come discover why! Information: I am a registered tourist guide in the Western Cape and can guide tourists along the Garden Route as far as Port Elizabeth. My car, a Toyota Fortuner SUV, is fully licensed, registered, and holds an NPTR Operating Licence, and I am insured for personal liability. I hold the required PDP driver's license. My First Aid certificate is current and valid. I have completed an Introductory Course in Wine Appreciation. I am a proud member of the CTGA - Cape Town Tourist Guides Association.

    Claudia was exceptional. She organized our tour, providing valuable information about each place we visited, and ultural details about neighborhoods that we drove through and the points we visited on our Cape peninsula tour. She took great pictures of our group and sent them on to us. She helped us identified restaurants and sites that were a must see for the remainder...

    Thank you Linda and your family. It was a great pleasure to show you the Deep South of the Cape Peninsula. We had fantastic weather, which makes the day extra special. Having interesting and interested travelers as guests makes my tours easier! Thanks again for visiting Cape Town and South Africa. Maybe one day you’ll be back. Best, Claudia

She was a careful driver, a wonderful source of information about South Africa, gave us excellent recommendation of things to do, and was super fun to be with. She also provided us with interesting insights about South...

    Thank you, David, for your kind review. It was a pleasure exploring the Whale Coast with you, Paula, Ed and Vicki. Although the whale boat cruise didn’t happen due to weather, I’m glad we still had a great day, especially getting up close to the penguins you so love!🐧 The abalone breeding farm was also fascinating and unique. Thank you as well for trusting me with...
