Interesting history and wonderful sampling of food and drink. It was a great way to spend our first day in Cape Town. The guide was excellent and very helpful with ideas for other activities in Cape Town.

This was our first day in Cape Town, and we decided to take this tour so we could get to know this area and have some tips of good resturants and places to go. Justin took us to some good places, and we ended up visiting some of these places several times.

I've previously been to Cape Town twice and was looking to get a different perspective. We made an excellent decision to include a tour with Cape Town Culinary Tours.

Our guide, Justin, engaged with everyone on the tour, and there was never a lull during the four stops we made.

Each stop was unique, all of the tastings were excellent, and we left the tour wanting nothing more than a small snack for dinner and a glass of wine.

While this was a "food tour" it was also very much a history tour -- Justin didn't shy away from any questions fellow guests had.

I enthusiastically recommend a tour with Cape Town Culinary Tours for friends/family/clients.

We have done countless food tours in our travels and this was one of the absolute best! This was the most interactive and informative tour I ever could have imagined. Justin foraged some plants and fruits for us along our tour giving us an authentic taste of the land. The food stops were all superb with a great variety. Justin’s knowledge was also incredible, there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. He had great insight and wonderful stories. I also loved that at a few stops he ate with us, it felt like we were all friends. He also knew EVERYONE at every establishment and his love for his community is palpable. Thank you Justin for the best tour!

The venues were well chosen and the food terrific. It also included a walking tour of the area and our guide also gave us a ton of information about the local history. We were given plenty of time to sit and enjoy our food and drinks. One of the best food tours we have been on.

This was a fantastic tour. Not only was the food great, but Justin, who led the tour was the best. He was not only knowledgeable about the food and restaurants, but equally as important he was so knowledgeable about Cape Town and able to speak from his own experience. He really made this tour one of our best experiences. We also returned to one of the restaurants for a whole meal because it was so good.

Our food tour with Cape Town Culinary Tours was fantastic. We loved tasting the delicious Cape Malay and Dutch foods and learning about the area's history. The street foraging was a fun surprise. Our guide, Justin, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to explore Cape Town's culture and cuisine!
