We booked our tour at very short notice but that wasn't a problem for our lovely guide Zuzeka who gave us an informative, authentic insight into the history of Langa where she lives with her family. She answered all our questions honestly, showed us around and talked about life in the township. We also saw some amazing arts and crafts created from recycled matetials by some of the township residents. It was a great tour - highly recommended.…

We spent a morning tour in Cape Town with Garth Angus of Footsteps to freedom. He provided a clear, interesting and informative picture in a listener friendly manner. In a short morning, Garth was able to take us through historical and current social dynamics, challenges and issues in the most vivid, cordial and interesting way. We learned so much in just a few hours. Garth’s presentation offered a helpful framework for our understanding of all we experienced during our South Africa trip. Highly recommended.…

Our guide Ivor was superb. Very knowledgeable and patient to explain both what and why things happened the way they did, the various turns of events, the history of the places. I found a new appreciation and respect for the South Africans, especially the purple people in the Cape of Storm. One of the best two hours I've invested and I'll come back for more. You know its good when I didn't even bother to take photo of the piece of the Berlin Wall. …

Our first contact with Ivor Shasklosky was immediately very sympathetic. He took the time to know us a bit better on our background and interests. We met in the Mount Nelson hotel and he gave us some insight in its history and the art of Dylan lewis. His huge knowledge and enthusiasm of cape town “contaminated” us. Ivor is an educated personality with a rich life experience. We appreciated his knowledge on history and politics of the RSA also in a broader world perspective. During the walk he showed us details and highlights in the centre seasoned with many little stories. He took the time needed without looking the clock. We walked for around 3,5 hours and it was the perfect start of our 4 days stay in Cape Town. We can highly recommend this tour with Ivor. Thank you, Bart and Christine…

Thank you for your response Bart and Christine and we are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to Cape Town and your time with Ivor. The Footsteps to Freedom city walking tour is certainly a great way to orientate yourself amidst the complex history and politics of our country.

We are an African American family. My husband I took our two adult children and daughter-in-law on a trip to South Africa, which included Johannesburg, Cape Town and safaris in Kruger. Our guide in Cape Town for a half-day walking tour was Garth who simply was OUTSTANDING. He is a fountain of knowledge about not only SA history, but US and world history as well and easily wove together parallels and contrasts between US history and SA history. While a native South African, Garth also had spent time in the US studying and was able to bring his personal knowledge to bear as well. He is a natural teacher and a delightful tour guide. I highly recommend both the tour company and Garth personally.…
