Tour details
This route takes the visitor into the homes of two Cape Town characters with big stories. It is an evening of stories and hospitality that creates the space for visitor and local to share stories and to discover more about each other as people.

Cape Town is a city of extraordinary diversity. Over the history of the city, the peoples of the whole world have passed through here, and we are a legacy of that. Some say we are a `pirate city', because we have pirated so many different parts of the world and made them our own here in the south. On this tour we will get a taste of this.

We meet at the Coffeebeans Routes lounge in the centre of town, and after an introduction to the evening, we travel to our first host for dinner. And then after dinner, we travel to our second host, for a coffee and a nightcap. The experience is part conversation, part performance. And always engaging.

The areas that we visit include suburbs such as Bonteheuwel, Langa, Athlone, Guguletu and Khayelitsha.

We spend about an hour with each host.

Our hosts include poets, entrepreneurs, journalists, musicians, praise-singers... all of them with big stories to tell.
