About Good Times In Cape Town
Founded in 2014 by Stuart Matanhire, Good Times In Cape Town is a premier tour operator offering authentic Cape Town experiences with professional, accredited guides. Every tour we run is private and shaped around the people on it.
How it started
Founded in 2014, Good Times In Cape Town began with a simple vision: to share the beauty and diversity of the Mother City through authentic, personalized experiences. What started as a small operation with just a few passionate guides has grown into one of Cape Town's premier tour operators, known for our deep local knowledge and exceptional service.
Our team is a registered associate of the Cape Tourists Guides Association, with qualified and accredited tourist guides recognized by the National Department of Tourism under the Western Cape Department of Economic Affairs and Tourism. We bring a unique perspective and expertise, ensuring that every tour is rich with insights you won't find in guidebooks.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of introducing thousands of visitors to Cape Town's stunning landscapes, vibrant cultures, and rich history. From first-time visitors to returning travelers, we're proud to have created unforgettable memories that keep guests coming back year after year.
