Snacks are included; the tour runs one hour and suits ages 13 and up.Is it for me?The guide speaks English throughout, so you follow the commentary comfortably without translation.

You start at the museum where forced removals began, then follow the route your guide's elders took when they were moved, visiting the Dom Pass Museum and local arts and crafts centre in Langa before moving through Khayelitsha. The tour is private, so the pace and stops adjust to your questions.Is it for me?The tour runs six hours and involves walking through neighborhoods on foot, so you need a comfortable pace and shoes that work on uneven ground.
