The streets, squares, monuments and memorials of historic Cape Town provide the setting for the first part of your tour. Here, on the Footsteps to Freedom City Walk ©, look back in time at how Africa, Asia and Europe conspired to create cosmopolitan Cape Town. Absorb the sights, sounds, and smells of the city.

This leisurely stroll incorporates most of the significant historic attractions in central Cape Town such as Greenmarket Square, the Grand Parade, Castle of Good Hope, City Hall, District Six Museum, Slave Lodge, Parliament, Company's Garden and St George's Anglican Cathedral. (Tour enters the District Six Museum and St George's Anglican Cathedral).

After a break for a light lunch at one of the sidewalk cafes (not included), set off for the township of Langa. Here you can look forward in time as you walk and talk with Xhosas of the Cape. Hear about their rites and rituals, culture and traditions, challenges and dreams.

See their children, homes, churches, feel and smell township life. This tour is not about rushing around the Cape Flats ticking township names off a list. Rather, to pause, engage and interact. Your journey is about connecting and reflecting, and most importantly it is about people.

The Footsteps Township Combination © tour starts at the official Cape Town Tourism Office. This is within easy walking distance of Foreshore hotels (10 minutes) and the V and A Waterfront (20 minutes). Undercover parking is available at the nearby Picbel Parkade in Strand Street.

Tours depart in all weather conditions - fair and foul, please dress accordingly and wear comfortable shoes.

Your tour takes you over a mountain pass to the seaside town of Hermanus, built along the shores of Walker Bay near the Southern Most tip of Africa.

The town, nestled between magnificent mountains and the sea, offers some of the best shore based whale watching opportunities in the world (August to November). Visitors travel from around the world to witness the giant Southern Right and Humpback Whales from the Hermanus' shoreline and cliffs.

Hermanus has it's own whale crier, the only one in the world. So if you encounter a man with a feather in his hat, wearing a sandwich board around his neck, and patrolling the streets blowing a weird looking kelp horn, don't panic - it's the whale crier! He is merely letting people know the whereabouts of the whales with different horn codes. Read the sandwich board for the key to these codes.

Return to Cape Town in the late afternoon via Elgin and Sir Lowry's Pass.

The A - Z of traditional Zulu life, packed into one exhilarating day. Travel up the lush KwaZulu-Natal north coast into the tropical beauty of Zululand and the nKwalini Valley. Atop a hill overlooking the uMhlatusi River, Shaka's birthplace, stands the largest Zulu kraal in all of Zululand - today it's a very much alive museum.

Here you will learn all about the culture and traditions of Zulu's and witness the skill and artistry that goes into building their huts, making pottery, brewing beer and crafting bead-work and baskets. Sample the unusual beer, visit the isangoma (witchdoctor), enjoy the grace and energy of the Zulu dancers and then tuck into a delicious lunchtime feast.
