Location
Bokaap Deli
Church Street
I will meet you in front of the Bo-Kaap Deli on 114 Church Street, Bo-Kaap. It's a blue café on the corner of Rose and Church Streets. Parking is very limited in Bo-Kaap, so it's best to take an Uber or park on Riebeeck Square and walk up one road to the meeting point.

Personal and moving tribute to Bokaap - Fantastic experience nobody should miss about a sadly dissipating neighbourhood that should have UNESCO world heritage status before it is too late. My guide Zaki was incredibly knowledgeable and I really appreciated all his time and trouble with me since other members of the booked tour had cancelled.

Bo Kaap food tour failure - I was very disappointed with this booking. I would have rated it a negative star if that was an option. I arrived at the location 15 minutes early. The guide did NOT show. I waited 45 minutes. I contacted Viator which could not get in touch with the guide but emailed them. An hour after my scheduled tour they contacted me and indicated to the fact that I was a solo traveler. I assume they make more $ if there is a bigger group. I would have appreciated if they had let me know that they did not want to do the tour then I would have arranged with another guide. I not only had to pay for an Uber there but then had to pay to be picked up again. I was only in Cape Town 2 days so my time was valuable and this was a huge waste of time. Do not book this tour. Unreliable.

Bo Kaap No Show - Not much to tell really, very poor communication with your operator, who turned out to be a no show. But really dissatisfied with Viator’s handling of the whole thing.
