We did the LaGuGu cultural township tour. It is a must do tour for Cape Town to understand Apartheid and how its consequences reverberate until today . The struggle for equality continues socioeconomically. Tourism helps the shanty towns.

Our guide James was excellent and gave us a great insight into both the history and reality of the Townships. We visited Langa and James made sure we were safe at all times. It is a unique trip and one we woukd throughly recommend.

This company was recommended by the lovely people at the tourist information kiosk in the V&A waterfront. Very easy and efficient to book on line and our guide, Nelson, was excellent.

If you get the chance take up the option of visiting a township while you’re staying in Cape Town. It can be confronting but also opens your eyes to the other side of life here. Many people struggle everyday with security of food, safe shelter and sanitation. The local churches seem to be working with people in their daily lives and despite the hardships there is often a sense of resilience and hopefulness.

We had an extraordinary good city tour with James. He showed us the beauty of Cape Town and broaden our perspectives of Cape Town and South Africa. James was very kind and gave a very good service. We will definitely recommend both milebymile and most definitely James as or guide!!

Thank you James for exeptionell guidning in Langa and district 6!!!! We can really recomend this tour!!

Friends visiting SA and my husband and I went on this cultural tour spanning the District 6 museum and the Langa township. Chippa was our guide who gave a very thorough overview of the museum prior to walking around which helped with sifting through the information. A great museum with so much history one should know, about apartheid, the struggles of the SA people and the hardships encountered by them. Langa township was enlightening, visiting the up and coming entrepreneurs, and the variety of housing levels from very basic to government bought. Chippa made it extremely interesting and relevant. Thank you, we all learnt so much!

Rachel Miles did an excellent job, providing us with a tour that exceeded our expectations! Not only did our guide, Mawe Thu, live in the diverse township of Landa in the infamous District 6; but his family was Khosa, a tribe with historical significance in South Africa. Our 5-hour tour was the perfect length to learn about Cape Town’s difficult, but important, history. Yet we also had time to visit with several local artists and a pottery studio, have a short drum lesson, and enjoy a delicious lunch where we “shared Momma’s love” at Mzansi Restaurant, during which we were entertained by local Landa musicians who played on their hand-made instruments. This was a tour we will remember!

We hade the best day with our tourguide Mark as he showed us arounde the Goodhope-peninsula. He was lika a dictionary, full of info and insights. Thank you @MilebyMile and Mark for a great experience.

Excellent and informative morning spent with our knowledgeable and interesting guide, Chippa! He introduced us to the history of District Six in the larger context of apartheid. In Langa we met local people who provided stories of their lives in the township. We also met new entrepreneurs, people working to support their community and making a difference in their lives. If you go, and we highly recommend you do, ask for Chippa. You will not be disappointed.

Our guide Nelson took us to the district six museum and outlined the history of district six and the relocation of the people to the township's in great detail. He then took us to the township of Langa and showed many details of township life. Among the details were a visit to a preschool a pub and an authentic African healer. The greatest impression left up on me was the enormity of the crime committed by the apartheid government and the resilience of the people to overcome poverty and begin the climb to financial security.

We was picked up at our hotel in the morning. The tour started with a visit at District six museum which was a perfect introduction for the following walk around Langa. Our great guide for this half day tour, named Chippa, could really explain both the history and the actual situation in township in the best way.

It was such a pleasure to meet Nelson, his family/friends in the Langa township and to see where he grew up! Its really nice to see how everyone get along with each other! This tour was one of our highlights of our holiday! Would recommend it to everyone

We booked a township tour, which was supposed to last about 4 hours. However, unfortunately the tour did not at all hold its promises. We went to church, which was impressive. Otherwise, we just drove through the townships without any stop (no healer, no tavern, no market). The information we got was interesting, but often a bit superficial. It was a nice experience, but not more - it is just not what is promised on the website and definitely overpriced.

We had a really good day with Vince and learnt so much. I would recommend asking for him as a guide!
