3.Cape Town: Bo-Kapp Walking Tour and Malay Cooking Class

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 105 reviews · 4 hours · from $68Best value

Walk Bo-Kaap with local guides such as Faldela, Gadija, or Ilyas, visit its mosque, museum, shops, and a spice store, then cook Cape Malay dishes in a local home. You will make samosas, curry, roti, salsa salad, and koesisters before sitting down to eat.

“It was incredible. Would absolutely recommend starting with the walking tour - Faldela is so knowledgeable and clearly well loved in the community. She’s funny, irreverent and just a good time to be around. The cooking class was great - got to actually make the samosas and roti - and everything was so organised and streamlined. The food tasted incredible and our dietaries were just so well accounted for. So glad we did this :)”
