We were spending 3 days in Cape Town prior to going to Botswana, and wanted something a bit different as it was our second time there. We booked the Peninsula... read more tour and had an absolutely fabulous day! It was great to be able to personalize the trip as we were with our non-seafood eating 16 year old, and we really wanted to revisit the Boulders Beach penguins (We did and this visit was better than the first!) Pamela shared her love for Cape Town and South Africa, along with lots of history, personal stories, wonderful food and drink - plus the stories of lots of the vendors as well. Our trip had so many changes due to covid (it was originally a 2020 trip with 3 days in London), and we almost cancelled when South Africa imposed more restrictions right before we left. Pamela kept us posted on how things were - knowing she was there was like having a friend we just hadn't met yet! Once the 10 hour day was done, our only wish was that we had also booked the cape town tour. Have to do that next time!

  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 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) 😉

  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! …

On our first day Shelly picked us up at 8:00 am at our hotel... read more and took us to experience the famous Table Mountain. We then went on her "Eats Tour".

On the second day Shelly picked us up at 8:00 am and gave us a full day tour of the Cape Peninsula and Kirstenbosch. The scenery was spectacular including the Atlantic Seaboard, Ou Kaapse Weg Scenic Drive, Kalk Bay, Simon's Town, Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, and a mainland penguin colony. On the third day, Shelly picked us up at 9:00 and drove us through the Cape Winelands region where we toured wineries, large beautiful gardens, shops, and an amazing lunch at the beautiful Delaire Graff Estate. At the end of the day she drove us to our Franschhoek hotel. Shelly is a great guide, a great driver, and plenty of fun. I highly recommend you request her as your guide.

  Wine Tour Repeat, 10 Years Later - I reached out to Pam at Cape Fusion Tours when I was planning a return visit to South Africa 10 years after my last visit. This time, with husband... read more and kids en tow I asked her to plan family-friendly wineries so that my children wouldn't be bored while my husband and I enjoyed wine tasting.

Both days we were with... read more Rachel who couldn't have been nicer, more caring and more knowledgable about the Cape Town area and really wanted us to have a great experience, which we did.
