I’ve travelled and worked throughout South Africa, but Cape Town has always been home. My roots here run deep – my ancestors arrived from Holland in the late 1600s – and after a long corporate career, I decided it was time to spend my days doing something I genuinely love: showing people my corner of the world. I’ve been guiding for more than 15 years, and what still keeps it interesting is that no two guests or days are the same. I enjoy the history and stories behind the places we visit, but I’m equally likely to stop for wildlife beside the road, point out something flowering on the mountain, introduce you to a favourite local food, or change our plans because the weather has given us a better opportunity elsewhere. Cape Town is an extraordinary mix of landscapes, cultures, history, food and wine, and I believe the best way to experience it is with time to look, taste, talk and occasionally take an unexpected detour. My tours are private, so while I’ll always have a plan, it’s your day. Some guests want to photograph everything, others want to understand our complicated history, taste great wine, explore nature or simply enjoy being somewhere new. I’ll adapt the pace and the detail to you. You don’t need me to recite a guidebook. My job is to provide the context, local knowledge and practical experience that help you understand what you’re seeing – and to make the day easy and enjoyable along the way. After all these years, I’m still curious about Cape Town and South Africa myself. Perhaps that’s why I still enjoy introducing them to other people.

Experience Cape Town over three private days, allowing us to go beyond the highlights and discover the history, people, landscapes, food and wine that make the Mother City so special. Spending three days together means I get to know your interests and can tailor the experience as we go, rather than following a rigid itinerary. It also gives us valuable flexibility with Cape Town's changeable weather. If conditions aren't right for Table Mountain or another outdoor experience, we can adjust the order of our days and make the most of better conditions. Depending on your interests, we can combine Table Mountain, Bo Kaap (neighborhood of brightly painted houses), Kirstenbosch, the spectacular Cape Peninsula and African Penguins at Boulders with the historic wine regions of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Enjoy carefully chosen restaurants, wine estates and local experiences along the way. While I can’t predict the weather, I can promise we’ll make the most of our time together.
Excellent guide!
Our Guide Caz L was amazing—she was able to put together three full days of touring after chatting with us and finding out our interests, likes and dislikes and our physical capabilities. She comes with a wealth of knowledge sharing it with personal stories and researched information. We felt very comfortable putting an itinerary in her hands. By the end of the three days I felt we had made a good friend and would recommend her to anyone wanting to travel in Cape Town.
I had an amazing customized two day tour to include the peninsula, penguins, baboon, Eland, Ostrich, Cape Point lighthouse, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman's Peak Drive and sunset. Day two was an overview Cape Town from signal mountain followed by a tour of the city sites, smells, flavors and history. The pace was perfect to match what I wanted to see, experience and photograph. I enjoyed conversing and learning about the area with Caz. Caz is very knowledgeable of the area, we were able to miss the crowds on bus tours and experience drives and places the bus would not go. It was a wonderful personal experience with great food at the Scone Shack, the Truth Coffee house and unique bites in Bo-Kaap. I highly recommend Caz as a tour guide.
Caz is a terrific guide. Was the most responsive of the Capetown Tours by Locals, guides, has perfect English and intelligible for even my wife and my senior ears. Was VERY open about everything Capetown and South Africa. We were most interested in history, culture, art, and the unique Capetown floral kingdom and Caz was fully informed on all aspects. I highly recommend her services.
Example itinerary – the order of the days can be adjusted according to weather, availability and your interests. Day 1 – Table Mountain, Cape Town & Kirstenbosch: Begin with a morning ascent of Table Mountain by aerial cableway, weather permitting, for spectacular views over the city. Explore one of Cape Town's colourful neighbourhoods and discover its history and culture before lunch. We then visit Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, beautifully situated against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Day 2 – Cape Peninsula: Follow the Atlantic coastline and spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. Enjoy lunch at a seaside restaurant before visiting the African penguin colony at Boulders Beach. Day 3 – Cape Winelands: Explore the historic towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, with wine tastings at selected estates and lunch among the vineyards. The pace and order can be adapted during your stay to make the most of the weather and your interests.
