Pam was our tour guide for 2 days, and she really gave us the whole experience of Cape Town! We did the peninsula tour, as well as the Cape Winelands.... read more Pam is so knowledgeable, and gave us so much history on our rides that really opened our eyes as tourists. She was easily able to read our interests and cater the tour accordingly to make it even more personal. The van was very comfortable with plenty of room, so much so that we often found ourselves nodding off on the way home after a long day of sight seeing! We really felt like we got to experience all of Cape Town, because there truly is so much to see. Pam even gave us lots of recommendations for the days we were not with her, and we got to visit most of them. It really made us feel like locals more than tourists to be able to find the hole in the wall spots. She also served as our personal photographer and gave us lots of great memories for our honeymoon. We really enjoyed chatting with her through all of the stops, and felt like we were on a visit with a close friend. We had so much fun touring with Pam, thank you! …

  This is our 9th visit to Cape Town, and the 8th time we have shared our favourite days with Pam and her fabulous private, bespoke wine tasting days. This visit... read more we went on three so I will try to condense. The reasons for using Pam are simple, he knowledge about each estate we visit is fantastic, she can arrange unique tastings which are not normally available to the public, she tailors each day to your personal taste and finally she is a lovely, fun person to spend the day with.
Our 1st day took us to my husbands favourites Hartenberg, fab tasting in their private cellar and Beyerskloof, met with the Wine Maker, always a special touch. Pam always books fantastic places for lunch, for these 3 days we went to The Vine, Jewel (met the lovely chef who showed us round) and The Long Table. All perfect. After lunch we hit Bartinney for more wine and an excellent Gin tasting, just for me.
2and day we had a very personal MCC tasting with Nick, the owner of Morena. Limited bottles made of this excellent MCC, from his own house, with amazing views. Wonderful. Then onto Paserene and Avondale. All the tastings were completely different experience .
3rd day we went to Raats, again, Pam did her magic as they do limited tastings. Their wine is amazing and has just being excepted by Emirates airlines for their flights, what an achievement. Then onto Kleonood, simply magical, sat on the lawn of their garden, mountains in the back, truly memorable. Quick stop at Spier and finishing at Starke Conde. Cannot recommend Cape Fusion enough. We will be back next year.

  Let’s get the details out of the way right up front. Cape Fusion Tours follows all COVID protocols, it is well priced, communicates well with its client base, and... read more its employees are reliable, honest, and on time. Now, down to the more personal side of things…

Cape Fusion Tours was an extremely fortunate find! Little did I know when I Googled “Culinary Tour Cape Town” that I would find the answer to most of my questions and wishes for our Cape Town vacation. When I clicked on the search result, I found Cape Fusion’s web site to be a bit different from that of other tour companies. There are not “click here to reserve” or other formulaic features. It simply tells the story of the company, its people, and what it has to offer in terms of helping you fall in love with Cape Town. The site also offers guidance on touring in Cape Town and other information that visitors would find helpful (no strings attached). If one of Cape Fusion Tour’s offerings appeals to you, it is easy to contact the company and ask whatever questions you have (pricing, availability, potential tour “tweaks” that might be possible, advice, etc…).

When I contacted the company via email, I was answered by Cape Fusion Tours’ owner and founder - Pamela. She not only answered all of my questions promptly, she also offered advice for other things I might want to do while in Cape Town. When we decided to book with her company, she ensured that she was aware of all our preferences and interests so that we could get what we wanted out of the tour – it was tailored to us! Also, when other arrangements (with other companies) I had made for tours fell through, she offered solutions and guidance and helped us find an alternative so that our vacation would not be derailed. I must admit that I sent her far too many emails. However, she answered each quickly and graciously.

We were only in Cape Town for a short while, but booked Cape Fusion Tours for two, full day tours. I am so glad we did! Our tour guide for each of the tours was Ryan. Ryan is not only very knowledgeable, he is kind, conscientious, approachable, and (best of all) flexible. It is apparent that Ryan enjoys his job, loves Cape Town, and works for an organization that values people and experiences over money and cookie cutter tours. We connected with Ryan almost immediately and I assume that all of his guests do – he’s just that kind of guy.

Though COVID has slammed the hospitality and tourism industry, Cape Fusion Tours has ensured that the accommodations it must make to “remain afloat” during these trying times have not adversely affected the product and service it provides. If I am ever fortunate enough to find myself back in Cape Town, Cape Fusion Tours will be my first call.

  We feel really lucky that our tour operator booked us for this “ food tour” with Ryan.
Ryan was so interesting and enthusiastic about the food, culture, history and... read more the people of Capetown. We tasted some really delicious street food ( samosas to die for) and some amazing artisanal beers, gins, coffees. The Malay curry for the best and so was the coffee. In the process we learned a lot about the culture, history and got a real feel for Capetown..... some hidden gems. Ryan is also socially minded, knows lots of the local people, has rapport with some of the less fortunate and has a huge heart of gold.
We learned so much about the place - a great way to start your trip to Capetown.

Ryan, thank you for an amazing day

  We spent a great day in central Cape Town exploring some of the hidden gems of the city. Our guide, Ryan, was really informative and gave us the perfect balance... read more of eating, drinking, history and exploring. So glad we only had a light breakfast and definitely didn’t need an evening meal! Definitely recommend this tour.

  Pam was recommended to us by a friend and booking with her was the best decision for our trip to Cape Town. First, we booked the Cape Town eats... read more food tour - and it was absolutely outstanding. Pam took us to 13+ stops, where we were able to sample unique, local treats at places we would never know to enter. What made the tour extra special is how Pam has cultivated relationships with every single vendor so it was a truly personalized experience. She explained the evolution of restaurants throughout Covid and how the city has adapted. This was not just a food tourit was a cultural experience where we learned about the history of the city. We do food tours in every city we can and this tour was top notch. Pam is the best. You will leave super full and with a better understanding of South African food and culture. Could not recommend more for foodies! The next day Pam took us on a full day Peninsula tour. We started off stopping at some amazing photo spots and then grabbing the best coffee at a local joint. We went to the cape of good hope (with some hiking and amazing views), boulders to see the penguins, and explored the beach towns. The drives were super scenic. Pam gave us a whole history lesson so we left knowing the old and modern history of South Africa. Fantastic tour and experience!

  Thank you Shelley (Fusion Tours) for an awesome day out & about in Cape Town! Apart from knowing nearly all the locals we passed during our journey, and you can... read more see she is well liked, she showed us the nooks & crannies, amazing eateries & interesting shops that I’m sure most Capetonians have never had the pleasure to experience. It was so inspiring to see how Cape Town & particularly those in the food industry have reinvented themselves and have survived & thrived during this ‘crisis’ - as Shelley aptly named it. We have been inspired to get back into the city centre & start eating out again there are so many amazing places to try!!!!

  We had the best tour with Ryan! We went all over and sampled everything from Koeksisters to babotie. Ryan knew so much about the history, all of the best places... read more to go, and what to order where. He was easy to talk to, seemed to have friends everywhere we went and had a kind heart for those less fortunate. When the day was coming to a close I found myself wishing we had booked another tour with him. Thanks for a great tour, Ryan! We will be back! …

  A little about the reviewers -- my husband and I (late 40s) are very active “type A” planners from the US. When we travel, we book well in advance, and... read more do a lot of research to figure out what we want to do.  We to locate and hire guides that will provide a local experience. Note that we are childfree, so we tailor our tours accordingly.

We did the Cape Fusion Cape Town Eats city walking tour in February 2020. We were fortunate to have Pam, owner of Cape Fusion as our guide for the day. Sometimes it’s just about personalities that mesh well, and I can say that Pam was the perfect tour guide for us. It felt like more like we were meeting an old friend.

The Cape Town Eats city walking tour is so much more than a food tour (though there was plenty of that!). It’s about embracing the culture of Cape Town. We met people everywhere we went (Pam knows EVERYONE!).  As we ate, Pam told us so many stories that made Cape Town really come alive for us – whether it was about political activity or current events or how she grew up in South Africa, it really allowed us to experience Cape Town.

We had an earlier start (8:00 am) since we were getting on a cruise ship that day, and needed to be onboard by early afternoon. As noted, the tour is private, so it was just the two of us spending the day with Pam. When we booked the tour, we told Pam our food favorites and restrictions – yes to coffee, gin, local meat; no seafood. She had no problems finding us everything on our wish list, and more. I won’t go into detail about each stop, but suffice to say we had more than enough to eat and drink, including 3 coffee stops, 1 gin distillery, bunny chow, samosas, bobotie, etc. After the first stop, I had to beg Pam to stop ordering so much food. There were only 2 of us, and we really needed to share to get through it all!

Don’t be afraid to book Cape Fusion and come out of your comfort zone to explore the people, culture and food of Cape Town. It is all amazing, and we will definitely be back!

  We had a completely amazing day in Cape Town with Ryan Lawrence (capefusiontours) - who first took us to the top of Table Mountain - fortunately with a perfect clear... read more sunny day from the beginning - then on a “foodie tour” - starting on Kloof Street at Tamboers Winkle for flat whites and box croissants- onward to Our Local to split some yummy brunch plates (vegan shakshuka, smoky bean toastie and a piece of fresh homemade ginger carrot cake) & a kombucha - before a quick stop at the Kloo Ker biltong shop (to pick up some bacon and beer strip jerky) and a takeaway cinnamon crisp from Oswald’s bakery next door (Oswalds Bakery) - before heading to the Conscious Kitchen for a vegan spinach waffle, a cup of Fynbos rooibos geranium tea at the Heritage Shop In the Company’s Garden, Cape Malay samosas, chili bites and sambaal at Faeeza’s, a quick stop for a bite of fried apricot treats (sugar mebos) at the Atlas spice / trading company, before finishing up with some truffles and drinking chocolate at Honest and a personal tour and pour over coffee at Truth. Wow - what a day! How will we ever make room for dinner? Just a starter and dessert (tuna tartare & a strawberry pavlova with lime curd at Black Sheep) 😉

  I was looking for an authentic look at street food in Cape Town during a trip my three friends and I have planned. We heard awesome things from some friends... read more who took this tour about a year ago, so I reached out to the Cape Fusion day tours team to learn more about the tour and book a private tour for our group.

Chongo was so helpful and patient in answering my many questions, and assisting when I had issues with the online payment tool (I was getting some push-back from my bank).

Although we've not yet taken the tour I wanted to jump on and highly recommend the team at Cape Fusion. They made us feel well-cared for throughout the planning process and as someone traveling from across the world it b=put my mind at ease!

I'm planning on providing another review after we take the tour.

  We spent a wonderful day with a local, Katherine, who not only knew all kinds of interesting and varied places to try different cuisines, but seemed to know everyone on... read more the street, their story, the history of every restaurant and shop. It was fascinating. I'd recommend this for one of your first days in town since you'll visit many neighborhoods and get a feel for where you'd like to go back. From street food to real home cooking (on the roof of the train terminal where few tourists are to be seen) to local gin tasting to biltong sampling to a young chef turning out French quality pastries but with local touches, to a Sengalese coffee shop owner with an amazing story, etc. Most of what we experienced was not something we would have ever found on our own. Katherine and Pam (owner) also gave us great tips for where to have a reasonably priced drink on the seaside, where to eat in Franschoek, where to look at quality crafts. A real eye opener to a great city by people who know it super well.

  Great to see the city by foot and experience so much good food. Good history lesson from our guide 👍

  What a fabulous tour and guide! Shelly introduced us to the city, its culture, history and cuisine in a fun filled day where we sampled everything from small artisan... read more bakery treats to biltong to a wonderful cape Malay experience at an art gallery. Her energy is inexhaustible. She kept us on the move, telling tales and imparting historical tidbits as we wound through town. Clearly a local personality, she was greeted as a friend by someone passing by on nearly every street corner. We finished our afternoon with a wine tour in historic Constanta Winelands where our group of six saw the sunset on a terrace looking out over a beautiful vineyard with a selection of reds and whites curated for our tasting experience. Don’t hesitate - book now and ask for Shelly!

  HIGHLY recommend this tour! You’ll come back propvol and educated. So many unexplored little gems in our own vibrant city. Sign up immediately!

  My mum and I visited Cape Town in March and were lucky to be the first group taking the new Sea Point Eats tour, having previously taken the Cape Town... read more Eats tour in 2018.

Our guides Pam and Cath were fantastic - their knowledge and enthusiasm for the area and food made for a fantastic day. The tour provided a fascinating insight into the area and the culinary scene. I have taken many food tours on my travels to date but have to say the Cape Fusion Tours are the best - looking forward to the next one!

I also recommend a visit to Cath's oyster stall at the Old Buscuit Mill market - delicious!

  We had a fantastic and unforgettable food tour with Cape Fusion Tours!!! We really got to know more about Cape Town while seeing where locals go to dine. All the... read more food we tried was delicious and each and every restaurants had its own vibe and unique settings and flavors. We are very glad we took this tour and even happier that Shelley was our guide. She’s a local and very knowledgeable about Cape Town and it’s food scene...and it seemed as if everyone...whether in restaurants or just walking around...knew her personally. We totally recommend this tour and hopefully you get Shelley as your guide 🙂

  What an incredible day we shared with Pam on our culinary tour of Cape Town! Pam not only shared her incredible knowledge and love for local food, she shared... read more her love of her community and the inspiring people who live in Cape Town. A fantastic day that left our hearts and belly's full.
