A "must" for every traveler

5.00If you want to get a panoramic view of the conditions in Cape Town, then this tour is a "must". You gain insights that are not necessarily easy to bear, but that show reality. The tour was great. A very emotional, authentic guide that recognizes the problem and names things. You also don’t have to feel insecure on this tour, whoever was in Cape Town and didn’t take this opportunity missed something crucial in my opinion.
Exciting...

5.00The tour was very enriching and enlightening thanks to our tour guide Remi. He shared so much information with us about the township. We met local residents. Remi was very patient with us as he allowed us to ask the residents questions and to take some pictures with them. We felt very safe and comfortable with Remi as our guide. We went to see some art work and ate some African food which was very delicious. The tour although it was half day, Remi and his team made it worthwhile and we would definitely be coming back next year to visit more townships thanks to Remi and Raw tours. I definitely recommend Remi and Raw tours to anyone who is thinking of visiting Cape town.
Once in a lifetime experience!

5.00Our tour guide Remi was excellent! He was so knowledgeable about the area and the everyday life of the town's people. We felt safe with him and would highly recommend him to future customers. We met a couple of residents and exchanged conversation, many were open to talking about their life experience during apartheid and after. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience and hope to return again with our tour guide Remi.
