we are still looking for a great tour huide for a full day tour in Cape Town including a township. All recommendations welcome. WE can go private or with a small group.

I would suggest that you take a private tour. There are a few fantastic guides working at Hylton Ross Tours for township tours. These guides are from the Townships. This makes all the difference. Also, if you're planning a trip to Robben Island you can get tickets via them as well. Check out

The Cape Town Tourism website also has a list of registred tourist guides

We will check out HyltonRoss. Heard good things about them. We corresponded with ilovecapetown. Altho, he sounds great; I get the feeling he doesn't want to bother with a one tour. Matter of fact, he sounds fantastic! We will look into more guides. The thing is we are joining a safari group and we get there 2 days early; so, of course we went to tour. But our group will be taking us to many of the tourist places including wine tour. I want to see Cape Town not from a tourist eyes and thought this time before we meet up with the group would be good. We do want to see a township and where the rich people live. Judy

Here is another idea: Contact SouthernDestinations, the agency that booked my recent trip and provided us with a fantastic guide in CapeTown. Ask Liesl there if Charlie Ratcliffe is available for a day tour.
