Beat food tour in Cape Town

Published on Mar, 2025

If you are a foodie, this is a must do tour whilst you are in Cape Town. Gilbert is an excellent guide and truly it felt like we were just hanging out with a group of friends, learning about the local South African food as well as culture and history. We met up at city hall and was already introduced to the Nelson Mandela statue. We walked around the city eating at places we would never have gone if we were not with Gilbert. We went to 5-6 different eateries and ate/drank about 15 different food items. All of it was just so tasty. One of the highlights was the malva pudding that Gilbert made himself. Because he brought us walking through the whole city, we really got to see and experience the place like locals do. The people were so friendly. We spent time walking off what we ate which was needed. The gardens was lovely and we also got to spot the white squirrels. We were very lucky to have gotten Gilbert as our tour guide. He was so passionate and knowledgeable. Also with a good sense of humour. What was better was for the food we couldn’t finish, Gilbert did not hesitate to pack it up and to give it to the homeless people who came up to us. Highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommended!

Our experience with Daryl was delicious and informative. Not only did he let us example authentic food from his amazing country, he share the history that went with it.

Foods Plus….

Our time with the very knowledgable and personable Chris was terrific. Aside from an introduction of South African foods he gave us an excellent perspective on history and culture.

Foodie perfect tour in Cape Town

Published on Feb, 2025

Darryl is the absolute best tour guide I’ve ever had in all of my touring all over the world. He was wonderfully educated, listen to the places we had already been and set up a tour for us that allowed us to go to places not only we’ve never been, but that we had never expected to go. I can highly recommend him to anyone coming to South Africa!

An Amazing day

Published on Jan, 2025

We arrived late in Cape town, and Gilbert accommodated us, even meeting us on the side of the road to find parking as we drop in from the airport. It was an amazing day, learning all the history and the food was really tasty. Thanks for sharing your wonderful history with us. God bless, Clint and Louise.
