Overview of your Cape town tour:

Starting in the Bo Kaap, the cobblestoned streets are filled with brightly coloured houses, unique architecture, mosques, and the temptations offered by the spice shop. Three centuries Cape Malay history, Islam at the Cape, and the modern-day debates on gentrification in this area. We move on to some of the lesser-known heritage sites. It is hard to imagine that you will find the oldest vine in South Africa, tucked away in a courtyard. The Slave church reveals stories about enslaved lives, and the role of European missionaries arriving in the early 19th century. The influences by the different occupations at the Cape, the discovery of diamonds and gold and the political apartheid system reflect in the variety of architecture and memorial art we will see on route. Last stop, the first landscaped garden in South Africa. Tour is around three hours at a pace comfortable to you with and there will be opportunities for refreshments on route.
