Let’s get the details out of the way right up front. Cape Fusion Tours follows all COVID protocols, it is well priced, communicates well with its client base, and its employees are reliable, honest, and on time. Now, down to the more personal side of things…
Cape Fusion Tours was an extremely fortunate find! Little did I know when I Googled “Culinary Tour Cape Town” that I would find the answer to most of my questions and wishes for our Cape Town vacation. When I clicked on the search result, I found Cape Fusion’s web site to be a bit different from that of other tour companies. There are not “click here to reserve” or other formulaic features. It simply tells the story of the company, its people, and what it has to offer in terms of helping you fall in love with Cape Town. The site also offers guidance on touring in Cape Town and other information that visitors would find helpful (no strings attached). If one of Cape Fusion Tour’s offerings appeals to you, it is easy to contact the company and ask whatever questions you have (pricing, availability, potential tour “tweaks” that might be possible, advice, etc…).
When I contacted the company via email, I was answered by Cape Fusion Tours’ owner and founder - Pamela. She not only answered all of my questions promptly, she also offered advice for other things I might want to do while in Cape Town. When we decided to book with her company, she ensured that she was aware of all our preferences and interests so that we could get what we wanted out of the tour – it was tailored to us! Also, when other arrangements (with other companies) I had made for tours fell through, she offered solutions and guidance and helped us find an alternative so that our vacation would not be derailed. I must admit that I sent her far too many emails. However, she answered each quickly and graciously.
We were only in Cape Town for a short while, but booked Cape Fusion Tours for two, full day tours. I am so glad we did! Our tour guide for each of the tours was Ryan. Ryan is not only very knowledgeable, he is kind, conscientious, approachable, and (best of all) flexible. It is apparent that Ryan enjoys his job, loves Cape Town, and works for an organization that values people and experiences over money and cookie cutter tours. We connected with Ryan almost immediately and I assume that all of his guests do – he’s just that kind of guy.
Though COVID has slammed the hospitality and tourism industry, Cape Fusion Tours has ensured that the accommodations it must make to “remain afloat” during these trying times have not adversely affected the product and service it provides. If I am ever fortunate enough to find myself back in Cape Town, Cape Fusion Tours will be my first call.

Thank you so much for the awesome review!! We loved having you and your Mom on tour with us. This review reflects everything about us. Thank you for catching our essence. We want to make sure you make the most of your time in our beautiful city and we do not hesitate to pass the booking on if we are the wrong fit!
You are quite correct about my guide Ryan. He loves what he does and it feels like you having an old friend on your with you. Every client who has ever had Ryan has loved having him with them.
You were his first tour bookings in more than a year. Thank you for getting him back on the road and for leaving your footprint with our company.

What a fabulous tour and guide! Shelly introduced us to the city, its culture, history and cuisine in a fun filled day where we sampled everything from small artisan bakery treats to biltong to a wonderful cape Malay experience at an art gallery. Her energy is inexhaustible. She kept us on the move, telling tales and imparting historical tidbits as we wound through town. Clearly a local personality, she was greeted as a friend by someone passing by on nearly every street corner. We finished our afternoon with a wine tour in historic Constanta Winelands where our group of six saw the sunset on a terrace looking out over a beautiful vineyard with a selection of reds and whites curated for our tasting experience. Don’t hesitate - book now and ask for Shelly!

My wife and I along with another couple enjoyed two outings; the city eats walking tour and the relaxed pace cape peninsula driving tour. Both days we were with Rachel who couldn't have been nicer, more caring and more knowledgable about the Cape Town area and really wanted us to have a great experience, which we did. In particular, on the Cape Peninsula driving tour we opted for the private lunch at chef Nicky Gibbs' Crofters Kitchen - what an incredible experience that turned out to be , both the food and the amazing stories from her life. Well worth it! If you're going to be in Cape Town for any length of you should definitely get in touch with Cape Fusion; Pam runs a great business.

The City Eats tour by Cape Fusion Tours was the best part of our trip to Cape Town. Our guide, Ryan, was the perfect person to walk us through a fascinating and tasty day in Cape Town. Ryan filled us in on all of the interesting details at each stop. He clearly has a passion for Cape Town’s offerings and his warmth and kindness made for a perfect time together. The unexpected bonus was finding unique and fairly priced gifts made by South African artists and craftsman along the way. Saying good bye to Ryan was like saying good bye to a good friend. Don’t miss this excellent tour!

What a wonderful way to learn about a city, everything was so much fun, delicious and interesting. We are still talking about the food. Did not expect Cape town to be such a food mecca. Cath was so much fun to spend the day with and I think she knows everyone in the city and so well liked. 100% recommend booking this activity for one of your first days to get the lay of the land then can go back for more.

Pam guided 6 of us on a tour through the colorful streets of Cape Town with door to door service from our hotel near the V&A. It was a full 8 hour day filled with a wide range of foods, but equally important was a thorough history class of South Africa and of Cape Town that began at first pickup and ended at drop off. Pam poured her love for the city into her stories and made a point of patronizing the small shop owners. The variety of food was excellent and plentiful. The whiskey bar finale topped off a great day.

These private tours are tailored to your interests. We used them for three full days. On our first day Shelly picked us up at 8:00 am at our hotel and took us to experience the famous Table Mountain. We then went on her "Eats Tour". As Shelly formerly owned and ran her own Cape Town restaurant she knows the food scene very well. We spent a pleasant full day tasting the cuisines that Cape Town offers and hearing from Shelly the history of the city. On the second day Shelly picked us up at 8:00 am and gave us a full day tour of the Cape Peninsula and Kirstenbosch. The scenery was spectacular including the Atlantic Seaboard, Ou Kaapse Weg Scenic Drive, Kalk Bay, Simon's Town, Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, and a mainland penguin colony. On the third day, Shelly picked us up at 9:00 and drove us through the Cape Winelands region where we toured wineries, large beautiful gardens, shops, and an amazing lunch at the beautiful Delaire Graff Estate. At the end of the day she drove us to our Franschhoek hotel. Shelly is a great guide, a great driver, and plenty of fun. I highly recommend you request her as your guide.

We love having guests for three days as we have so much time to tell all of our stories as we explore Cape Town and her beautiful surrounds. Shelley is a great guide! So pleased she rocked your tours!

We always seek out a food tour wherever we are in the world and this was definitely a good one. Cath, our lovely guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, the history and the food we ate. Adapting to places that were closed due to us inadvertantly choosing a public holiday to have our tour on(!). Cath took us to some stunning places to eat amazing food. We were taken to off the beaten track, sometimes quirky, sometimes unusual but always interesting places.
We felt very safe walking some of the quieter streets as Cath engaged with the locals and appeared to be fairly well known in the area.
A really lovely way to spend the day enjoying and learning about the food and culture. As advised we came hungry (no breakfast at all as our tour started at 08:30) and left so full around mid afternoon.
It's a walking tour of 6+ hours but this is not arduous, it's a slow saunter with lots of stops to sit and eat (the advice of sunscreen and hats was good and as you're walking on streets/pavements then sandals are enough if you've not brought trainers) We had a cab to get us there so Cath conveniently walked us back in the direction of our hotel which made for a quick and easy return for us at the end of our tour.
Food sampled on our tour (but I understand each tour varies depending on what's open and what you like to eat): pastries, coffee, chocolates, cake, toasties, biltong, rooibos, cheesecake, Portuguese tart, Faeeza's delicious samosas and bhajis, ribs & beer, even a wine tasting.
Easy booking (direct by email) and great communication throughout for booking/payment/confirmation/reminder (thank you Chongo and Pamela!). We used their secure online payment method a few days before but there is the option to pay cash on the day too.
Overall: highly recommended and whilst not the cheapest your available, DEFINITELY great value for money (and if you book, can we come too please?!)

We spent a wonderful day with a local, Katherine, who not only knew all kinds of interesting and varied places to try different cuisines, but seemed to know everyone on the street, their story, the history of every restaurant and shop. It was fascinating. I'd recommend this for one of your first days in town since you'll visit many neighborhoods and get a feel for where you'd like to go back. From street food to real home cooking (on the roof of the train terminal where few tourists are to be seen) to local gin tasting to biltong sampling to a young chef turning out French quality pastries but with local touches, to a Sengalese coffee shop owner with an amazing story, etc. Most of what we experienced was not something we would have ever found on our own. Katherine and Pam (owner) also gave us great tips for where to have a reasonably priced drink on the seaside, where to eat in Franschoek, where to look at quality crafts. A real eye opener to a great city by people who know it super well.

Cathy and the whole day! Amazing!!!
If I could bottle her knowledge, her passion and her connections in Cape Town you should! We had THE BEST DAY. We are seasoned travelers and the service and experiences were second to none. Never ever would I expect such a fantastic day doing a foodie tour - the people the stories and the food were unbelievable and all made truly magical by Cathy! We will return and we will be telling everyone who we know who visits SA to take a trip with Cathy and Cape Fusion Tours - especially the Foodie tour. Thank you thank you thank you.
