Before you book

  • Shoes you can walk in. The experiences are on foot between stops.
  • Bring cash. The experience itself is paid in cash on the day, and the craft stalls, the studios and the food vendors work that way too.
  • Ask before photographing people. We will tell you when it's fine.
  • Tell us about food allergies or dietary needs when you book, especially for the food tasting.
  • Cape Town weather turns fast. A layer and sunscreen both earn their place.
