Art And Culture in Cape Town

Cape Town's cultural line-up is short but dense: three routes, each showing the city from a different side. The township tour leads into the districts Black residents were forcibly moved into under apartheid; it runs four and a half hours at 61 dollars — the cheapest entry in the selection and the most substantial.

The walking tour of the centre takes the same time and costs 91 dollars. The route passes colonial buildings, a mosque and the coloured houses of Bo-Kaap, the quarter of the Malay community; guests are collected from their hotel, so there is no meeting point to find. Both tours run with a guide, and both suit a first day in the city. Part of what these tours earn stays in the districts themselves, as the descriptions set out.

The third format belongs to another genre: an hour with a professional photographer at the city's viewpoints, 414 dollars. The shoot is built for a couple or a small group, and the images are delivered after editing. GetExperience lists 3 cultural programmes in Cape Town, from 61 to 414 dollars.
