We travelled to the gorgeous Bo-Kaap courtesy of Bonfire Adventures. The guide walked us through the brightly colored houses. He was very professional; educating us on the 17th century as well as the many vibrant cultures in South Africa. We also got to explore different historical sites such as the Company's Garden and the Castle of Good Hope. You will also come across some local souvenirs at Green Market Square and get a first impression of the African culture. In the evening we can enjoy a scenic drive to Hout Bay and enjoy a sundowner right at the beach. After this our guide will drive you back to your resort for dinner and an evening stay

I mentioned this area to our tour guide and she said it was on our way back from Table Mountain. She was happy to take us. As we drove through this very interesting area she told us about the history of the colors of the houses. It really was pretty and worthwhile.

Besides the vibrant colorful houses, very interesting history - then and now. It's worth a visit, but I heard it's not recommended to go on your own, so join a walking tour. There's a free one leaving every hour from the hop on and hop off office on Long Street.

Such an incredible place with about a million photo opportunities! The coloured houses were gorgeous and had such lovely features (plant pots, murals, sculptures etc) and we loved just wandering around. We didn't have a guide so it gave us time to explore. The best houses were on Chiappini, Rose and Wale streets.
