You step out of the car and the city opens on a slope of light: Atlantic wind pushing the smell of salt and braai smoke through streets that switch from Victorian facades to rainbow-painted houses. For five hours this private tour hands you the city in manageable pieces — sea-swept viewpoints, a cable-car ascent, and narrow lanes where language and spice map a diasporic history.
