Lucas Kortmann -Netherlands- 21 Mar 2020The Taste of Africa tour is really the best way to discover the inner city of Cape Town. Elsje (a great tour guide!) brings you to truly hidden gems, with great food and drinks, off the beaten track. Between places, she shows you the city and educates you about its history. Would recommend it!"
