Highlights
  • Cape Town Central - This has always been my dream tour… a journey without a fixed destination.

I would love for this tour to be the final one before guests return, allowing them to catch up on anything they might have missed.

This tour answers a common question I’ve been asked throughout my 12-year career as a tour guide: “What do you do when you’re not working?”

A Cape Town MUST!!! - If you plan on visiting Cape Town, a full day tour with Tingo is a must! He is an expert of the area and takes you to all the top sights plus leaves room for customization based on what you want to see. For example, he took us to a great coffee shop when I said I wanted coffee and to the botanical gardens when my husband and I needed to relax for a bit. 100% recommend!!!

Excellent - If you're visiting Cape Town and want more than just the typical tourist experience, Authentic Tours with Tingo is an absolute must! From start to finish, Tingo was an outstanding guide — warm, knowledgeable, and completely in tune with what makes a tour feel personal and unforgettable. The entire process was smooth, professional, and full of thoughtful touches that made all the difference. Tingo knows Cape Town inside and out, and he shares it with heart, humor, and authenticity. He did an excellent job, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, go with Tingo — you’ll see the real Cape Town, and you’ll love every minute of it!

Fantastic Walking/Cultural Tour of Cape Town - Today, we had the pleasure of joining a city cultural tour in Cape Town, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Our guide, Tinga, was exceptional—his energy and enthusiasm truly brought the history of this beautiful city to life. We started our day at the iconic Table Mountain, where the breathtaking views set the stage for an unforgettable experience. Tinga shared fascinating historical facts that kept us engaged and entertained throughout the tour. We also drove by the vibrant Bo Kaap neighborhood, which was a highlight for me. Midway through the day, we enjoyed a delightful high tea experience—an indulgence that perfectly complemented our exploration of Cape Town's rich culture. We rounded off our tour with a charming visit to the V&A Waterfront, a lively area filled with shops and stunning scenery. Tinga’s humor and knowledge made the tour both informative and lots of fun. If you're looking for a memorable way to explore Cape Town, this tour is definitely the way to go! Thank you, Tinga, for an amazing day!

Cape Town with Tingo - This was the best tour I have ever taken. Tingo was not only our tour guide, but he was our photographer, videographer, and MY handholder as we took the 150 steps up to the lighthouse because he insisted it was a moment I would regret missing (and he was right). Tingo took us to places for the most magnificent views and shared with us the beauty and history Cape Town. It was easy to communicate with Tingo. He was professional, patient and on time! You cannot go wrong with Santacruise Tours!
