Cape Town Eats City Walking Tour

THE CAPE TOWN EATS CITY WALKING TOUR

The Cape Town Eats City Walking Tour is a Food Tour of the Cape Town City area.

Join us on a day in the city that shows you what life is like as a local in Cape Town.   We aim to climb under the skin of the city and taste her flavours.

We stop to chat in local cafes and explore our history, our people and our cuisine.   We sample some of the food of our favourite local artisans and some of our favourite traditional treats.   We use the tastings to tell the story of our city and its current reality.

Our food tour operates only as a private tour.   Each booking is paired with a passionate private guide.   The options of stops on the day will be a mix of stops that are the favourite places of the guides as well as stops the guide matches to your interests as they go.

The tour duration is 08h30 to 15h30.   This tour is the best tour to choose for your first food tour of Cape Town.

The Bo-Kaap is one of the most beautiful areas of the city.   It is also the heart of our Cape Malay Community – and as such we stop to explore and taste some of the local favourite dishes.
