And here’s the hype!:

“Cameron doesn’t just run an excellent historical, fact-filled walking tour, his engaging storytelling put the pieces of the Cape Town puzzle together so we understood both the past and present better. This particular tour was the Oranjezicht neighborhood, but we’re betting any tour he leads will be just as good at unraveling history’s mysteries. Whether it’s sites we walk by regularly, or some place we never heard of, we walked away with fresh insights and a refreshing appreciation for Cape Town.
Well-woven tales, well-run tour. If you like to time travel and connect the dots between what you see & what happened here, this tour company is for you.”

“Capetown Heritage Tour around Hout Bay, with Cameron, was one of the most enjoyable city tours I have undertaken. As a global traveller, who has visited many cities in over 80 countries, I rate this as the best experience of a tour that provided an informative, insightful and entertaining blend of facts and analytic perspectives from global history, geography, archaeology, anthropology, politics, culture, sociology and economics. Cameron is a remarkable raconteur, who provides information in a most engaging manner. He is truly in love with Cape Town and is a scholar of history - a combination that provides a traveller with an engaging, immersive experience which goes far beyond the average tourist’s fleeting brush with a new city’s rich heritage and evolving future. I will carry vivid and valued memories of this tour when I return to India.”

It’s our last Heritage Tour Weekend for ages and near the top of the bill is our beloved Simon’s Town outing on Saturday afternoon from the Admiralty House Gates to the Old Burying Ground on St George’s and this time I want to definitively discover whether the Roman Rock Lighthouse is named for the Red Roman fish or vice-versa…
