I had the best time on the Speakeasy & Cocktail Tour with Matt and Michelle last night! They take you deep into the city's coolest hidden gems visiting four totally unique bars with a cocktail at each stop. The tour runs from 17:30 to 20:00,making it the perfect 'pre-dinner' experience. It’s an absolute must for anyone looking to see the quirky, sophisticated side of Cape Town’s bar scene.Posted on Google![]()
