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

  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.

  My husband and I spent the day with Ryan on an incredible tour of Cape Town. While the tour featured the various foods of the city, it also provided... read more valuable information on the history and culture of the region. Ryan was friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate and was well known to everyone along the tour route. We sampled coffee, pastries,Cape-Malay specialties, biltong, chocolate, and enjoyed local South African cuisine at the train station. An excellent way to spend a day!

  Ryan our guide was amazing and gave us a great insight into some local foods and styles of venues to eat. Thank you, definitely a highlight of our Cape town... read more visit

  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.

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

  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.

  We had two fantastic trips with Anine from Cape Fusion Tours, first to Cape of Good Hope, second to Stellenbosch wine region. Anine told us all about the region... read more as we went down the gorgeous ocean road in search of penguins and ostriches. Such a fun journey in the most beautiful part of the world. Anine made everything run so smoothly and managed to score us the most perfect table for lunch by the ocean. She truly went the extra mile to make us feel special and to help us see all the wonderful areas that make up the Cape. A few days later, we were happily reunited with Anine for our foodie trip to Stellenbosch wine region. Anine remembered what we liked - red wine- and picked boutique vineyards with an eye for sustainability, which was perfect for us. Then, after a fabulous lunch at Jordan’s, Anine delivered us to our luxury accommodations in the Stellenbosch area, making sure we had a bottle of red wine upon our arrival. We were completely spoiled by Anine! Thank you! Gail

  This was highly recommended by YPO and we loved it! It was our first tour in Africa and Katherine took us to countless local spots which all had absolutely amazing... read more food. My husband and I are picky- pescatarians and hate onions and we did not have any problems with the food. You park and basically walk around the city so wear comfortable shoes. Must do!

  Thank you Shelley for our brilliant trip yesterday. We really enjoyed visiting the beautiful Cape of Good Hope and were pleased that you suggested the scenic walk along the coast.... read more Stunning views. Loved visiting the penguins at Foxy Beach. Lunch at Kalk Bay was delicious and the seals were a bonus!We learned so many interesting things about the country from you which made the trip so much more worthwhile. Absolutely fabulous! Thank you! Emma , Alberto, Imogen and Ottilie

  We have visited Cape Town six times since 1997. I just wish I had done this tour the first time. Stimulating, fun, and so fantastically engaging. The whole day was... read more enthralling. Every aspect was so well thought out and delivered by our host Pam. Just superb!

  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!

  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!

  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!

  I received this day trip out as a birthday gift, which I then gave to 2 of my friends as a birthday gift too and what a great gift it... read more turned out to be. Informative, super tasty and just a fantastic way to see the peninsula!
Treat yourself for a day of beauty - eating and drinking all the local produce we never realised existed right on our doorstep.
It's worth it!

  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.

  We had a fantastic day with Anine whose enthusiasm and love for her city shone through. We felt that we saw some of the locals’ Cape Town and will leave... read more with precious memories. Would recommend this to anyone trying to get under the skin of this vibrant place and looking further than the waterfront. We will be back Anine - please show us more!

  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.
