Quality Verified Registered on April 04, 2019

Hi there! I am Rushdi, a fifth generation South African born and raised in the foothills of Table Mountain to parents whose ancestors were slaves brought to the Cape from the east during the slave trade. My ancestors built this city that I call home and I look forward to sharing my experiences from this picturesque corner of the world. Today, I am a proud husband and father, the last generation to experience apartheid and the first to witness the remarkable change in South Africa. Passionate about my culture with a great sense of adventure. I hope to share my Cape Town the way only a local knows how. Taste our heritage, fantastic tastes, sights and sounds from the comfort of a vehicle or stroll leisurely through the city streets. I am here to help you achieve and create lasting memories. My Cape Town offers everything and more for every type of traveler and since we are all unique, I can help you design a tour 100% tailored to your needs.

My tour with Rushdi was unbelievable. When I arrived, I found out I was the only one on the tour that day. I was extremely impressed the tour continued with a sole participant. Rushdi brought the history by not only telling the history of South Africa, but also giving insight of its history through his family's life. The tour was well planned and his explanations of the history of the nation were well thought out and expertly delivered. I was so fortunate to meet Rushdi and spend a couple of hours learning from him

Recently joined Cape Town Guru's tour guided by Rushdi and had an amazing experience. Rushdi's passion, knowledge, and personalised approach made the tour engaging and immersive. We were able to discover Cape Town from a unique perspective, thanks to Rushdi's insights and recommendations. Highly recommend it. Looking forward to the next visit!

Rushdi gave me the best introduction into Cape Town and South Africa on my first day here! His knowledge about the city's and country's history is huge and he answered all of my questions (and I had many). I appreciate it a lot that he did the tour, even tough it was just me because the other people who signed up for the tour didn't show up. Thanks a lot and I hope I will be able to do another tour with him
