About Acropolis Now – A Heritage Walking Tour through the University of Cape Town

Whether you attended Moscow on the Hill or not, UCT has pervaded every Capetonian’s personal heritage like few other universities in the world have affected their populace.

“Great guide bursting with knowledge and enthusiasm – don’t think too hard, just book and go, you seriously won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend”- Colette E.

P.S. If you’ve read this far I’m guessing you’ll want even more of the specs, so here goes:
– We’ll be starting by Rhodes Memorial at 10h30 then finishing by Rustenburg Girls’ Junior School just over two hours later, so I’d advise doing a two-car system or ubering.
– We’ve just put up our ticket prices for the first time in two-and-a-half years, from R120pp to R150pp. This is just to keep with inflation and to allow the tours to remain a sustainable enterprise for the foreseeable future, but this is still about R50 less per person than our nearest competition. We are deliberately undercharging the tours to keep them affordable for locals and visitors alike and to encourage guests to come back weekend after weekend.
– Book via Quicket, WhatsApp us on 076 033 8164, E-mail us on cameronlukepeters812@gmail.com or Message us via the buttons on our home page to secure your place.
– We have also just introduced a broad scheme of discounts you can apply for on each tour, so please consult the list below before contacting us!
– We’ve decided to partner with a different local NGO or charity for each tour route so that R10 of every ticket purchased goes directly to a good, sustainable, local cause. For the UCT tour, we’ve chosen to fund-raise for the UCT Fund, and you can inspect their brilliance here: https://uctfund.org/how-to-give/
– This is a consistently well-reviewed heritage-focused walking tour; all you’ll need is curiosity about Cape Town’s past (and History in general) and enough stamina to walk just less than 3km in one afternoon (with stops and snacks).
– If you’re rejoining us, please consider dropping us a short (or extensive) review on our Facebook Reviews or Google Reviews section as it will help spread our gospel of curiosity and playful appreciation across the internet.
– You can also add an optional R10 donation on your ticket which will go directly to the NGO Streetscapes as part of our mission to spread love, enthusiasm, mutual support and respect for all of Cape Town’s people and histories.
– Feel absolutely free to spread the word, invite friends who’ve been looking for this kind of experience and badger us with every imaginable heritage query. We live for it!
