Want a date to the Prom this Saturday?You can join a whole troupe x
From 14h00, we're going to spend two-hours-and-change in wandering Cape Town's very own Sunset Strip, launching from the quaint shade and mid-afternoon snacks of the Atlantic Express to absorb everything in our path before making landfall by the candy-cane stripes of the Green Point Lighthouse near the back of the oldest Cape Breakwater.
In the meanwhile we'll tour more than five centuries of the tidal swell of humanity upon these granite shores, swapping sights and seeing stories of the Flying Dutchman and the shipwreck capital of the world, tracing the lineage of mariner families from every ocean, comparing starkly beautiful landscapes with the first great seaside estates in the country's history, showing off the tracks of the old tramways that used to be as synonymous with the city as the Noon Gun, and paying homage to the Khoisan, Greek, Italian, Chinese, Portuguese, French, British, Cape Malay and Jewish ancestors who first bestowed the space with its world-class cosmopolitan credentials.
With the Atlantic Seaboard gentrifying quicker and quicker by the hour, there's no better time to grab a pair of my nostalgia-busting goggles and come down to see this iconic quarter as if for the first time, in its entirety.
Remember your sun-screen, your flip-flops, your towels, your curiosity, your open-mindedness, your memories, your invites for your friends and your love for Cape Town's potential!
See you then, RSVP DM Me!
“I did the Seapoint and Oranjezicht tours. Both were incredible, Cameron is really knowledgeable, and he does a brilliant job of contextualising the spaces he takes you through on the tours. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn a ton of interesting facts about Cape Town.”- Daniel H.
P.S. If you've read this far I'm guessing you'll want even more of the specs, so here goes:- We'll be starting by the entrance to the Atlantic Express Train Restaurant at 14h00 then finishing by the Green Point Lighthouse near Caffe Neo two-and-a-half hours later, so happily park near the Ritz Hotel, do a two-car system or (lord forbid) take the MyCiTi bus the whole day.- We've just put up our ticket prices for the first time in two-and-a-half years, from R120pp to R150pp. Obviously this is just to keep with inflation and to allow the tours to remain a sustainable enterprise for the foreseeable future, but this is still about R50 less per person than our nearest competition. In other words, we are deliberately undercharging the tours so as to keep them affordable for locals and visitors alike and to encourage guests to come back weekend after weekend.- Book via Quicket, WhatsApp us on 076 033 8164, E-mail us on cameronlukepeters812@gmail.com or Message us via the buttons on our home page to secure your place.- We have also just introduced a broad scheme of discounts you can apply for on each tour, so please do consult the list below before contacting us!- And we've decided to partner with a different local NGO or charity for each and every one of our tour routes so that R10 of every ticket purchased goes directly to a good, sustainable, local cause. For the Sea Point tour, we've chosen to fund-raise for Project Hope, and you can inspect their brilliance here:https://sfb.org.za/project-hope/- This is a consistently well-reviewed heritage-focused walking tour; which is to say that all you'll need to enjoy yourself is curiosity about Cape Town's past (and History in general) and enough stamina to walk just less than 3km in one afternoon (with stops and snacks).- If you're rejoining us, please please please please please please consider dropping us a short (or extensive) review on our Facebook Reviews or Google Reviews section as it will help spread our gospel of curiosity and playful appreciation across the internet and across the spectrum of all potential visitors to the Cape. It helps us more than you can believe!- You can also add an optional R10 donation on…
