Political History Walking Tour
Cape Town is deceptive. The inner city – or the original, historic Cape Town city – is very very small, and is often seen as being the city in its entirety. It is no longer the epicentre of Cape town, but it is where the story of the city begins.
This half-day city tour puts the guest in touch with its very earliest days as the home of the Khoekhoe, right through to today. It’s not widely known, even by Capetonians, that the nation’s first banks started here; that Cape Town’s start as a commercial city began with water; that the indigenous name for the city was is Camissa, which means `place of sweet waters’; that before the arrival of the Dutch there were thousands of years other history and stories.
We are interested in all the stories, and attempt in the four hours, to cover the widest diversity of the stories that have defined the city.
We include District Six and the District Six Museum, the old slave quarter, the Bokaap, and key parts of the historic inner city.
