Overview

This is an interesting tour as it takes travelers to the most historic places in Cape Town. Cape Town is a world class city which has a rich history, beautiful beaches and amazing people.

One of the best ways to learn about all this is a visit to Robben Island Prison Museum which used to be Nelson Mandela prison for 18 years. Travelers learn a lot of the social ills of the previous regime of apartheid and how South Africans are coping with co-existence.

A visit to the townships is very informative as you get to see and experience first hand life in the formerly disadvantaged communities. As a traveler you also are able to evaluate how far the government has gone in providing its promises pre-independence.

Travelers also have a great opportunity to interact with the locals especially in Bo-Kaap and Langa. This tour gives travelers a true picture of the current socio-economic situation in South Africa rather than returning home after a visit to the city.
