Cape Town Culinary Tours provide an amazing way to explore the culinary delights of this wonderful city of Cape Town! Elsje guided my husband of the Cape Town Coffee Experience, a 3 hour tour, and then 2 days later the both of us on The Cape Town Essentials Tour, a 4 hour visit to sample the culinary delights of Cape Town, both food-wise and drink-wise. Both tours are highly recommended - through food and drink you explore and learn about the fascinating cultural traditions of the Mother City, and Elsje brings everything to life with her enthusiasm and incredible in-depth knowledge of the history and heritage that this part of the Western Cape has to offer. So glad we did these yours and I would encourage anyone to do the same!Excellent food tour with a great guide. Great food and drinks at some original locations. I learned a lot, not only about the local food culture but about the general history of Cape Town as well. I highly recommend this tour!

I highly recommend this tour. Elsje is so enthusiastic, knowledgable and proud of her country's cuisine. We tried food I would have never thought to order on my own and it was fantastic. She does a great job of mixing in beverage tastings (coffee, bubbly and gin) with the food so you don't get too full. We can't wait to return. Thank you Elsje!
