City Sightseeing, in partnership with So We Too and Soweto Outdoor Adventures, is launching a new tour of Langa and Gugulethu Townships in Cape Town. ‘LaGuGu Tour’ will be available from September 20, adding to the existing Cape Town offerings. 
The tour will offer flexibility for travellers, according to CEO of City Sightseeing South Africa, Claus Tworeck. “LaGuGu Tour travellers can hop off at the various stops along the route and spend as much time as they want interacting with the township people and soaking up the culture, while always under the watchful eye of one of the locally trained community chaperones,” said Tworeck.
The tour’s 15-seat minibuses depart from City Sightseeing’s tour office in Long Street, with the first tour leaving at 09h00. It makes its way to Langa, where guests can hop off at any of the stops along the route and/or do a free hour-long walking/bicycle tour before re-joining the tour and making their way to Gugulethu.
Stops along the route within Langa include the Township Heritage Museum, Brenda Fassie’s house, Sobukwe Square, the Langa High School, the Old Beer Hall and then a look at the N2 Gateway Housing development.
In Gugulethu visitors will be taken to the Gugulethu Seven Monument, the Amy Bhiel Monument and then on to Mzoli’s Restaurant.
For the hop-on hop-off facility, the LaGuGu Tour taxis run every 20-30 minutes along the route.  For those who prefer to stay on board for the entire tour, it is a two-hour round trip.  The last taxi of the day departs from Long Street at 15h00 and returns at 17h00.
