Tour guide in Cape Town Lesley C.

Good day I have been a tour guide offering private tours for 21 years and love sharing the history, culture and heritage of Cape Town on foot. To absorb the true spirit of a city, I believe this is best enjoyed by walking. My walking tours are a mix of history, heritage, culture, architecture, memorial art, and stories about people and events which have shaped our community today. I will be able to tailor the route around your interests, use a pace comfortable to you and it will give us a chance to engage and reflect about our history and culture. Cape Town offers a mix of colonial and political history; you will feel comfortable to engage and ask questions about any subject. I am a traveler also, so, understand firsthand the level of service and experience you are looking for. Timing is flexible, if need a coffee stop, or to visit inside a church on route for example. I never stop learning. We are lucky to have active museums, and historical societies, and I regularly attend evening lectures. I am a volunteer committee member for a local heritage society and organize excursions and speakers to generate funds for heritage preservation. My new volunteer role is to reignite our heritage blue plaque program, whereby blue plaques are established on buildings around the city to recognize people and events which have made a key contribution to our history. I am looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you to Cape Town.
