Local tour of CBD with TONS of tastings

Khoffi was an amazing guide! We ate SO MUCH food...be prepared! Each stop consisted of 2-5 dishes and you have to taste them all! My only wish was that we had done this earlier in the month so we could have gone back to the area and to some of the restaurants for more meals! Khoffi was very knowledgeable and his love of food was written all over his face. Great experience!

I did almost all of the experiences here in Cape Town and this was by far one of my favorite.

I did almost all of the experiences here in Cape Town and this was by far one of my favorite. Why? If you want to actually get a good view into the African culture - this is how. Not only was the food SO GOOD, each restaurant is local favs and Khofhi (the guide) shares a little bit of information for each type of food you try. He also takes you to some cool spots along the trip that you wouldn't know to check out on your own and surprises you at the end with one of his many talents. Khofhi is a creative with many talents (music, djing, music production) so he's tapped into the area. It's a whole vibe the whole way through. You'll also have good local spots to return to so don't sleep on this one!

Just book it!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Cape Town and is without a doubt a must do! It is an incredibly rich experience, learning about different food and cultures in Africa and the guides, restaurant owners and food are all amazing. Some of the best food I have had this entire month! If you are only booking 1 experience this month, make it this one!

Best Cape Town Experience!

As someone that booked literally every experience on the marketplace in CT (don't tempt me with a good time!), I can confidently say that this one was top tier. The food is amazing, the tour guide, chefs and restaurant owners you encounter are lovely, and the jam session in the park with Khofhi at the end is the cherry on top. Book it - you won't regret it!

MUST DO!!!!

Please, please do this experience while you are here!! It is such a wonderful look into other African country's food and culture. The tour guides are AMAZING and all of the food is delicious.
