I'm Christo, your private tour guide in Cape Town I've been guiding in Cape Town since 2012, and this city has been my home my entire life — every recommendation comes from real local knowledge, not a script. With a 5.0 rating across 93 reviews and over 150 tours delivered in the past two years, I focus on one thing: making sure your time here feels personal, not packaged. My specialty is the Cape Winelands and Cape Peninsula — wine tasting, Cape Point, Boulders Beach penguins, and the best of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek — but I also guide further afield across the West Coast, Overberg, and Garden Route for those with more time. I'm available 7am–11pm, seven days a week, including public holidays, for individuals and groups up to 9 people. Whether you have a single day or two weeks, I'll build the itinerary around what you actually want to see — including the spots most tours skip. Every tour listed here is a sample; message me your interests and travel dates and I'll put together a personalized custom tour, with a few surprises of my own along the way. I reply fast, so if you're looking for a knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely local guide — even on short notice — get in touch and let's plan your Cape Town.

Cape Coast and Walker Bay at Hermanus with a local guide.
Overview of your Cape Town tour
From July to November every year, the Southern Right Whales put on a spectacular show along the southern Cape Coast and particularly in Walker Bay at Hermanus. This tour is a seasonal tour and this coastal town's peak season starts in July and lasts until end November. Meet the world's only "whale crier". On our way back we visit a Penguin Colony and enjoy spectacular drive through Clarence Drive overlooking the False Bay Coastline. This full day tour includes a panoramic drive along three stunning mountain passes as well as along the coast of False bay, one of the most beautiful drives in South Africa.
Your Cape Town tour itinerary
Pick up at 08h00 and drive via the N2 towards Somerset West and Gordon's Bay. The awesome Sir Lowry's Pass takes us through one of our major apple growing areas where after the Houwhoek Pass leads us to the "Overberg" where we could spot our National Bird, the Blue Crane. From top of the mountain the beautiful Canola and wheat fields will be visible. We pass the fishing village of Hawston before we enter Hermanus. An orientation tour is done. We drive to the Waterfront to find the best spot to do "rock whale watching". Should you prefer whale watching by boat we proceed to the harbour. Time will be allowed for "craft market shopping" Lunchtime (own account) will be given. After lunch we return and take on the beautiful coastal drive towards Betty's Bay and Stoney Point. A walk to the breeding place of the African Penguin, also called the Jack-Ass Penguin. Clarence Drive follows next before we reach Gordon's Bay, our Naval Base. Drop off in Cape Town around 17h30/18h00.
