In these residential areas lived the “non-whites” until apartheid was abolished. This is a wonderful tour for anyone who wants to see the real Africa with a local guide and on a bicycle! On this socially responsible Cape Town Township Bicycle Tour (won multiple international awards!) you get the chance to meet the locals and actually contribute to improving the residential areas. An enthusiastic, local guide will show you around and introduce you to the customs of the Xhosa people. Because you will be traveling with a local guide, the tour is safe and you will get a good first experience. Some highlights of the tour include a visit to a crèche (part of the tour fee is donated to this crèche), a typical African lunch and a traditional dance performed by the Sangoma.

It was very interesting. We liked the tour and everything Lutho told us. We learned a lot about the townships. Compliments for the guide.

*** is een fantastische gids! Vol passie liet hij ons kennismaken met zijn leven in zijn Town Ship. Het is een hele hechte gemeenschap, dat blijkt uit alles. We hebben ons geen moment onveilig gevoeld en iedereen begroette ons enthousiast. We kunnen deze excursie iedereen aanraden!

We would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in a little piece of history of a township next to Cape Town. Our guides were very enthusiastic and learned us a lot about the slums! 100% satisfied!

De fietstour door de township was geweldig, Lurho is een geweldige gids die je helemaal meeneemt door de township, hij legt alles uit over de geschiedenis en hoe het nu is. de lunch was geweldig. Voor wie nog twijfelt, het is een absolute veilige tour en je steunt ook hiermee de gemeenschap.

Zeer interessante tour die super leuk en deskundig begeleid wordt. Voelde zeer veilig, de gids woont zelf in de township en kent echt iedereen. Vooraf twijfelden we of het moesten doen om meerdere redenen, achteraf zouden we het iedereen aanraden. Je wordt nederig als je daar loopt en tegelijkertijd zie je stralende gezichten van alle inwoners. We waren er op zondag en hebben genoten van de talrijke muzikale (kerk) bijeenkomsten, een privilege om dat bij te kunnen wonen. Het goede nieuws is ook dat je met een bezoek, de community daar ook (financieel) ondersteunt!
