Description:

Make up a party of 4 and get a private tour with your own luxury vehicle and guide to travel at your own pace and grace.

Guests will be afforded the opportunity to meet and interact with the local people. On arrival, tourists often discover that they did not understand the extent to which previous race classification laws fragmented our society. Many people who the visitor originally assumed were defined as black were in fact classified as Coloured or Indian and did not live in the townships but in other designated areas.

Your guide is a specialist who grew up within the disadvantaged communities that we visit. As such he is highly knowledgeable of the areas, the people,  the history and the politics that shaped the lives of so many.

Rest assured, this is not a "gawking tour" It is not invasive tour. It is a positive and interactive tour.

Itinerary

We take our guests into a number of local townships, but at all times preserve the integrity of the tour by also introducing people to other historic araes like the traditional Malay Quarter known as Bo-Kaap as well as Athlone, Rylands and District 6. These areas were defined as Coloured areas with Rylands having being defined as an Indian area during the apartheid era which lasted almost 50 years and ended in 1994.
