5.00Mathieu, our guide in CAPE TOWN guided us on the tour of the township last January 2026; he guided us and informed us about all aspects of life in these places with grace and great humanity. We have a great memory of him and thank him again for his professionalism and availability. Thank you Mathieu.
Mathieu Is your perfect guide

5.00A tour of Cape Town's townships guided by Mathieu can help understand the complexity and vitality of these communities: artisan and artistic workshops, social redemption initiatives. South Africa is a powerful example of emancipation and struggle for social justice.
Indispensable experience

5.00Cape Town is magnificent, multifaceted, and it would not have been fair to claim to have been there without a tour of the Langa township. Indispensable the blast from the past to understand the present and timid attempts to face a different future.
Langa...you never forget it

5.00Very interesting experience. A dive into a harsh and raw reality, which otherwise you could not face and try to understand, especially after seeing the sparkling rich and modern city.
So grateful for our time with Matthew
