Myself, my wife and three young children had an amazing day, learning so much about District Six and Langa Township. Our guides were very professional, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.

Camissa Tours was everything we needed in a travel provider - professional, knowledgeable, and flexible. We had a long wish list and not much time for our 1st visit to Cape Town. Khonaye designed the perfect tour that hit all our must have sites while giving us lots of history and a great city overview. We saw and learned a lot from a great ambassador for this beautiful city!

We were a group of 5 and our guide was Khonaye, we did the Garden Route in 3 days. The group and I decided to do the garden route via Camissa. Many organizations have standard plans fixed for the garden route. We wanted to make our own plans and not be time independent. We wanted to have the freedom, when we wanted to have for example. For example, quietly take the time for pictures or something. When you book the garden route with a guide or standard organization you have the chance that you are constantly dependent on the whole group and can not do everything according to your own wishes. We therefore decided to go for Camissa, since I got to know Khonaye through a township tour. I could always send him a message, so I did. I asked about the possibilities and told what we as a group would like to do in 3 days. Khonaye then proceeded to arrange everything and looked at what the best options were. The contact was good and clear. You get a schedule and an invoice. Everything is very clear. The full 3 days were magical. Of course the activities are great to do, but Khonaye was a pleasant guide. We had a lot of freedom and could do everything at our own leisure, something we wanted. Khonaye has a calm personality and is very chill to have as a guide. Definitely recommend, because we had the best times of our lives!!!

We were picked up promptly from our villa in Camps Bay by our driver Songs who on the way to the Langa township gave us a very informative talk about District 6 and the history of apartheid. On reaching Langa our guide Viera took us on a tour of the area including visiting a hostel and a home where a family lived which gave us an interesting insight. We also had an uplifting experience when we visited a Gospel Church to listen to the choir. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

After 5 nights in Cape Town on our last day we wanted to get under the skin of the beauty of the coastal line and visit the communities that make up this city of contrasts. Lawasi (Nelson) picked us up bang on time and drove us through the historical areas of interest in Cape town. His knowledge and perspective created the perfect foundation for the rest of our time on the tour. We learnt and participated in the great work that Abbey does in supporting the various communities in developing skills while learning to crochet ourselves. Then we went to Langa a black community where Oyembe (not sure about spelling of his name) took us on a walking tour of the community. As was Lawasi, he was articulate knowledgeable and very willing to share his experiences and that of his community. Our trip to Cape Town would not have been complete without this tour. Camissa support the local black and coloured communities by employing those from the communities to guide us through their history and their current day lives. The men we met that looked after us on the tour were wonderful and we cannot speak highly enough of them and our experience with Camissa.

A guide picked me up from a hostel. He was highly competent in history of the town's native inhabitants. It was an interesting insight. We visited Langa township, first a very pleasant gospel mass where we felt welcomed. After that a local man took us around the township to show us the good and the not so good features. He also told us that the locals want us to visit, see how they live and tell the others about the visit. All in all, I recommend this tour.

We did a township tour round Langa via District Six. It was tremendously insightful and deepened our understanding of the history of South Africa and Cape Town enormously. It set the scene well for the rest of our trip really, and provided good context for thinking about the state of present day South Africa. Recommended.

If you want to understand South Africa-than take this tour. Nelson is a passionate and knolegable guide and made this trip fascinating. Simon at the Langa township was great, born in Langa and feels its pulse. We felt very welcomed in the place. Everything was as scheduled to the minute. So glad I took this tour :)

We (2 adults, 2 kids) got picked up at our appartment by Nelson, our amazing guide who passionately told us all about the history of Cape Town, while driving towards Langa, the township we would visit. There, Saké took over and we walked with him through Langa. Saké lives in Langa, so who could explain us better. The tour is a real eye-opener, showing the bad but also the good. Strongly advised!!

I recently went on a township tour with Carissa. It. Lasted a half-day and was excellent. The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. Walked around Lange and drove by other townships. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting to see beyond the waterfront glitz

Whilst the pick-up location is not signed we were collected by the very passionate Nelson and our Township tour began in drizzly weather. This part of the tour was very informative and our guide Nelson talked with great enthusiasm and feeling. We drove through District Six and then onto the township of Langa. (Note - access to the District Six museum may have been a very nice addition to the tour, albeit a small museum). We were welcomed into Langa with the songs of a wonderful local gospel church and its choir. A walking tour of the original communique hostels, the newer hostels, along some informal housing and ending at the new larger houses of the township. A good look into the lives and characters of the township... Unfortunately due to weather we could not see Robben Isalnd, we were disappointed but this is obviously not the tour operators fault. In closing, I would recommend this tour to visitors and locals alike to experience a troubled past and wonderful future...

I bought a day tour from GetYourGuide - Township + Robben Island. The tour was supposed to be made by Camissa Travel. I waited for them 2 hours to pick me up from accommodation, but they didn't come. When I called them, Khonaye told me that Godfrey will come soon. He also sent me an email telling me that the driver is 2 minutes away from my accomodation. I think I called them 4 or 5 times in the meantime. I found it very unprofessional and I was very disappointed. At least, I get a full refund from GetYourGuide.

Tour of Langa and townships Gladstone was a wonderful guide. He arrived 10 mins early to collect us from our apartment with a big smile and a handshake. Once everyone was picked up we headed over to Langa. En route Gladstone was explaining the not so distant past history of District 6 and some of the surrounding areas. Langa was a real eye opener, helped by his informative guidance we really got a feel for the local area and a better understanding of how they all live together. I feel I have been very well educated thanks to Gladstone’s excellent knowledge and kind, friendly delivery of so and willingness to answer any questions put his way. All in all I think this is a must do trip if you come to Cape Town. It is important to understand the struggles past and present and to see the ‘real’ Cape Town.

The tours we took with Camissa were some of the highlights of our trip. Godfrey was our tour guide for the Sunday Gospel Tour and Wine Tasting. We had a great time and he was extremely knowledgeable.

This was announced to be a tour by train to Langa for 4 hrs. Picked up 20 minutes too late at Camps Bay. We expectetd transfer to the train station but get a Minibus tour to Langa. The Driver says that trains are not reliable these days. In total 2hrs Minibus transit to/from Langa. Tour in Langa itself was o.k. but too short. The walk was maybe 25 minutes long. In advance (by e-mail) we asked for substituting the planned BBQ since we are vegetarians. They said we can have a drink stop in Langa but this was also cancelled. No refund, no excuses. No prior Information about regular problems with the train which makes the tour so different. One can also make a township tour with the Explorer Bus. This is less frustrating.
