What To Expect
Begin your tour with a trip to the Bo-Kaap neighborhood in Cape Town. This area, also called the Malay Quarter, is easily recognizable because of its colorful houses. Residents are largely descended from slaves from Malaysia, India and Sri Lanka who were brought over by the Dutch colonists in the 17th and 18th centuries.Next, visit Langa, Cape Town's oldest formal township, established in 1927. Explore the settlement with your guide and discover how the lively community - which was established pre-apartheid - is suffused with the history and culture of the Xhosa people, one of the largest cultural groups in South Africa. If your tour takes place on a Sunday, you'll also have a short visit at a service at a local church. After roughly 3.5 hours, you tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel in Cape Town.Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.
