Excellent Tour

Arnold is an excellent Tour Gide. We laughed so much, but also learned a lot about the history, an the Malayan cuisine.

Great history tour

We had a private tour with Arnold as we were the only ones booked on it and because of this we got to choose what type of tour ee wanted to do. It was really interesting to learn about the history of Cape Town especially about apartheid and the slave trade. I would recommend this tour for discovering things that you would probably not find on your own as they are not necessarily on the tourist trail.
