Its was wonderful, I really enjoyed my tour LWAFIKA my tour guy was really great.
Nelson was an amazing guide! He was so experienced and knowledgeable about everything, and I got to know and understand the rich culture and history of Cape Town in just several hours. I also felt that he went above and beyond to make my first day in Cape Town an amazing one and he really did make my day! 1000% recommend this tour!
The experience was awesome with a lot of historical information shared. The knowledge sharing was amazing with Nelson providing an overview of Capetown that thrills the mind
I highly recommend our tour guide for providing an exceptional experience. Their knowledge, professionalism, and friendly approach made the entire tour enjoyable and memorable. They went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well informed. Truly outstanding service.
We did a tour of Langa with an absolutely exceptional guide. Nelson grew up in the neighborhood itself, so he made the whole experience real, close and firsthand. In addition, he speaks very clear English and is perfectly understood, something that we are very grateful for as it is not our first language. The tour was 100% personalized, super friendly and very pleasant. We did it on Sunday and it was a real success, because we were able to walk into a local church and live the gospel up close, a really special moment. Nelson is passionate about his work: he conveys knowledge, respect and enthusiasm. We learned a lot with him, and you can ask him everything you want, always answer with patience and a smile. I recommend this tour 100% to know Cape Town from an authentic and enriching perspective. An unforgettable experience!
An excellent way to start your trip in Cape Town: this tour gave me a great overview of the city, how big it is, and which areas are worth visiting. The visit to the city center and the Bo-Kaap area was lovely, going up to the viewpoint was fabulous, and driving down along the beach area was truly spectacular. And Nelson my guide was very nice and helpful explaining me many historical events and answering my questions about the city.🌊✨
Cape Town gave me memories for life! So much fun, laughter, and good vibes. Huge shoutout to our awesome tour guide for making it all special@Lwazi💃🏽🚌🌅
Nelson was a very informative guide! We learned so much about Cape Town that he also filled in some blanks that we got from another tour.
Hey Kevin, Thank you for gracing us with your presence, we are happy we filled those blanks, Lwafika Tours strives to deliver the best, Nelson is the captain and knows when to anchor this ship. We are happy he delivered the promise
Our trips have been exciting. Our host is knowledgeable, friendly and of great assistance. It is obviously an experience I will like revisit
Nelson opened his heart to us, genuinely explaining his community in Langa Township and District 6. It was confronting to us and challenged our understanding about contemporary South Africa. He was well researched and a terrific, colourful narrator. He is a credit to the new South Africa.
