THE CAPE TOWN EATS CITY WALKING TOUR

Discover the true taste of Cape Town with our Cape Town Eats Tour.

If you love food, culture, and exploring a city beyond the typical tourist experience, this is the tour for you. We invite you to join us on a walking food adventure through Cape Town’s vibrant streets. This isn’t just a tour—it’s an invitation to experience the city like a local.

As we stroll through the heart of the city, we will stop at handpicked food spots that tell the story of Cape Town—its history, its people, its cultures, and its ever-evolving reality. Each bite offers a window into the soul of the city, where past and present come together in the flavours that shape our daily lives.

Slow down, taste more, and truly experience Cape Town. Our walking tour allows you to explore at your own pace, engage in lively conversations with locals, and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and tastes of the city. Whether you’re a food enthusiast, a curious traveler, or someone looking for a deeper connection with Cape Town, our tour will give you an authentic, unforgettable experience.

Since the Cape Town Eats Tour is a private experience, we tailor it to suit your interests. Let us know what excites you, and we’ll make sure your stops reflect the tastes and stories you want to uncover.
