Bo-Kaap city tour
Discover the Rich History and Vibrant Culture of Cape Town with Our Bo-Kaap City Tour
Start your journey through the heart of Cape Town with our Bo-Kaap City Tour, beginning in Wale Street, where you’ll discover the origins of South Africa’s oldest suburb. Your walk will take you past the historic Auwal Mosque, the oldest mosque in the country, founded by enslaved people in defiance of Dutch law in 1794.
As we stroll through the area, we’ll pause to enjoy a local snack before continuing to the iconic street lined with colorful houses—the most-photographed street in South Africa. Along the way, we’ll visit local art galleries, soaking in the creativity and culture of the neighborhood.
The tour culminates at Cape Town’s famed spice shop, Atlas, where you’ll be captivated by the heady aromas of spices integral to Cape Malay cooking.
These same spices were once used by slaves as a form of expression in their masters’ kitchens, and they remain a vital part of the city’s culinary heritage.
