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.

Overview of your Cape Town tour

Wine lovers will enjoy this private wine-tasting tour to the Franschhoek Wine Valley. Franschhoek is synonymous with wine tasting and gastronomy, as well as a myriad of Wine Estates to visit. Let me assist you in narrowing the search and take you to some of the finest vineyards that produce world-class wines. Each winery offers tasting combinations from classic reds and whites to Cape Classique, "our bubbly." One can even pair these tastings with chocolate, cheese and biltong. Allow me to take you to some of my favourite estates based on your tastes. You won't be disappointed experiencing this full-day private tour with me. A leisurely lunch or a quick bite can be included in the day.

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, she would let us go our own way, but was available when we needed her. In short, Franschhoek is gorgeous and if you consider going, we highly recommend Claudia as a guide.

Claudia was our guide for the day. We visited 3 vineyards and had an amazing time. She is extremely knowledgeable and the weather was in our favour. We highly recommend Claudia.

We had a delightful wine day with Claudia. She communicated well with us during planning, and was totally flexible during the day. She is from Asheville NC but has lived in South Africa 37 years - a perfect blend.

Our tour with Claudia to the wine country was amazing! First of all, if you are visiting Cape Town, be sure to get to Franschhoek as it is beautiful and should not be missed. Claudia is a great guide. She was fun to get to know and extremely knowledgeable about Cape Town and the wine country. We would highly, highly recommend her.
