Why take this tour?

Cape Town's Bo-Kaap and District 6 neighbourhoods dig deep into the history of South Africa. With a Host by your side, you can gain a fascinating insight into how these areas shape the city's past, present and future. You could explore the District 6 Museum, which pays homage to the people who lived in the area, then delve into the heart of Cape Town and experiences the city's vibrant culture before moving on to Bo-Kaap, where the streets are lined with instantly recognisable multi-coloured houses. Your Host could lead you along the cobbled streets to local mosques, famous stores, and other hidden gems along the way. We will contact you within 24 hours of your booking to find out about your interests so we can assign a like-minded Host who will create a bespoke experience for you. Your Host will suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place, but you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Some people live in a city, some people live for the city. They are curious about where they live, and never want to stop exploring, and discovering the hidden gems that - to the uncurious mind - remain hidden. City Unscripted believes you should see the city with these people, and so we connect curious travellers with equally curious hosts. We exist to give travellers truly personal connections to cities, offering an alternative to the old, predictable world of tour guides. With a network of 1400+ hosts in 40 cities across the world, City Unscripted personally matches each guest to the right host, who creates an experience personalised just for them. This way, no two experiences are the same. The hosts are here to be the guests’ open-minded, passionate and knowledgable friend who can’t wait to show off their home.
