Meet Claudia — Your Local Connection to Cape Town Welcome to Cape Town! I’m Claudia, an American expat who has called South Africa home for 40 years and Cape Town for 35 of those years. As a registered Western Cape tourist guide, I love sharing the Cape I know and love — its spectacular scenery, fascinating history, diverse cultures, wonderful food and wine, and, most of all, its people. My tours are private, relaxed and personal. I don't believe in rushing from one attraction to another just to tick boxes. I want you to experience South Africa at your own pace, with time to explore, ask questions, take photographs and enjoy the moment. Whether we're exploring the Cape Peninsula, discovering the colourful Bo-Kaap and historic District Six, experiencing Langa, meeting the penguins at Boulders Beach, or enjoying the Winelands, I'll share the stories and local insights that bring each place to life. I also love creating tailor-made experiences beyond Cape Town, including the spectacular whale coast of Hermanus, the scenic West Coast and the Garden Route — perfect for travellers who want to venture further and experience South Africa beyond the usual highlights. After years of welcoming travellers from around the world, one of my greatest compliments is hearing that guests felt they had spent the day with a knowledgeable local friend rather than simply taking a tour. Come explore my beautiful corner of the world with me. I can't wait to show you Cape Town and beyond through my eyes. Credentials: 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 and registered, has an NPTR Operating Licence, and is insured for personal liability. I hold the required PDP driver's licence. My First Aid certificate is current. I have completed an Introductory Course in Wine Appreciation. I am a proud member of the CTGA - Cape Town Tourist Guides Association.

Overview of your Cape Town tour

What a great way to immerse yourselves in the scenic beauty of Cape Town with a coastal drive around the peninsula to Cape Point, Simon's Town and Boulders Penguin Sanctuary. Lunch at one of the many alfresco coastal restaurants along the Cape Peninsula. There is something for everyone! The tour will take 7-8 hours and can be tailor-made to suit your specific requests. If you would like to ride the Aerial Cableway to the top of Table Mountain, this can be included first thing in the morning. This activity is weather-dependent.

Claudia was an excellent guide; very knowledgeable, helpful, flexible, good sense of humor. She helped me fix a mess with my tickets. We really enjoyed our tour with her. I highly recommend.

We had the most amazing day with Claudia, doing the Cape Peninsula Tour clockwise to catch the sunset at Chapman's Peak Drive. Claudia customized and adjusted the tour exactly to our liking, even though we reached out just a few days in advance. Her knowledge and passion made the trip truly unforgettable. Watching the sunset from Chapman's Peak Drive was the absolute highlight of our day. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Claudia as your guide!

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 of the stay in the city. She even followed up over the next two days to make sure we did not need further information. Highly recommended.

We were pleasantly surprised to have selected Claudia for our tour. We made a last-minute booking, and she was able to accommodate us without missing a beat. Claudia is full of energy, enthusiasm, and fascinating local knowledge. Her insight and commentary throughout the day brought every stop to life and made the hours fly by. Our only regret was not booking her for the entirety of our trip. If you're considering a tour with Claudia, our recommendation is simple: trust her expertise. Let her guide the itinerary and determine where and when to visit each location. Her experience and local perspective transformed what would have been a great day into an unforgettable one. Thank you, Claudia, for an amazing experience in Cape Town!

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. They were active in the beach and in the water and there were not too many people yet. Next we drove to the incredibly scenic Cape Point. Did the touristy things (photos at the south-western most sign) and then we hiked up to the light house. Spectacular views and Claudia knew where to take the best pictures. We drove back over stunning Chapman’s Peak. We managed to see some wildlife on the way, Eland, Red Hartebeest and a troop of baboons. We got some great photos. The tour took about 8 hours, so we were back in the hotel at around 5 pm. All in all, a highly memorable day. A drive over the peninsula is not to be missed when you are in Cape Town. Consider Claudia as your guide, I would highly recommend her. We would definitely choose her again.

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 excellent driver! Along all our stops, Claudia captured our limited time in Cape Town with some terrific photos. We had some specific requests aside from the city tour that Claudia easily accomplished for us. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, and beautiful blue eyes shone as she described her remarkable city with its breathtaking blend of mountains, ocean, and city life. Many thanks Claudia for helping us create lasting memories of this unforgettable destination. If Cape Town is on your radar and you desire a most memorable day, then we highly recommend Claudia without hesitation.
