About Heike

Hello! I am Heike, and Cape Town has become my home. For over 7 years I have been showing visitors from all over the world the beauty of this unique city, not as an anonymous group, but entirely personally, just for you.

As a certified tour guide for the Western Cape, I know not only the famous sights, but also the hidden gems, the authentic stories, and the best wine farms in the region. My tours are flexible, bespoke, and always designed with great passion.

Whether in German or English, I look forward to showing you my Cape Town.

Individual Tour
West-coast Tour

The West Coast north of Cape Town (Route 27) offers a rugged, authentic landscape characterised by the turquoise Yzerfontein and Langebaan Lagoon in the West Coast National Park, charming fishing villages like Paternoster, and a spectacular sea of flowers in spring (Aug–Oct). Popular day trips include bird watching, seafood, and cultural experiences.

Garden Route

Accessible from Cape Town at 800km, with overnight stays. A 300-kilometre coastal road at the south-western tip of South Africa is considered the most beautiful region in the country. The Garden Route takes its name from the Garden Route National Park which it traverses, the diverse vegetation and elephant sanctuaries found there, and the abundance of wetlands, lakes, mountains, forests, and endless beaches. Duration 4 to 6 days.

The Langa Township tour offers an authentic insight into the vibrant life and history of the oldest township in Cape Town. Led by local guides, visitors experience daily life on walking tours, exploring cultural centres such as Guga S’thebe, markets, shebeens (local bars), and the transformation driven by art and education.

Township Tour with local guide
Exclusive shopping Tour

The Cape Town offers a variety of local as well as imported goods. These include gold, diamonds, jewellery, leather products, African art, and antiques, as well as fashionable and designer clothing at affordable prices. Included is a visit to an outstanding restaurant. Allow yourself to be pampered.

Helicopter Tour

A helicopter tour offers spectacular panoramic flights over landmarks such as coastlines or mountains, often with takeoff and landing at the same location, such as the 12-minute to 56-minute scenic flights from the V&A Waterfront. In contrast, a helicopter transfer is a fast, private transport from A to B, for example from Cape Town Airport to the City or Winelands, which saves time.

Practical learning: the focus is on applying the English language outside the classroom, such as on excursions, sightseeing, or cultural tours.
