Classy Cape Tours
Your Private Cape. Curated by Heike
Forget the standard checklist. Experience Cape Town, the Winelands, and beyond on a journey designed entirely around you.
For years, under the name Via Vino, I specialised in crafting exclusive boutique wine tours. My passion for South African wine remains deep, but my clients often asked to see more. They wanted to apply that same level of personal care and insider knowledge to the rest of this magnificent region.
Classy Cape Tours is the evolution of that journey. Today, I offer a complete, private touring experience. While we still explore the finest estates in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Constantia, our horizon has expanded.
Tours by Heike Laufer
I am not just your driver. I am your local concierge, your storyteller, and your key to a seamless Cape experience. I handle the logistics so you can focus on the moments that matter.
A Tour Designed for You
Whether you wish to stand at the edge of the Cape of Good Hope, watch whales in Hermanus, discover the history of the City Bowl, or enjoy a gourmet lunch at a hidden culinary gem, I make it happen.
I attach great importance to individuality. There are no large groups and no rigid schedules here. As your registered Western Cape Tour Guide, I lead every tour personally. This ensures your day is flexible, exclusive, and conducted at your own pace.
Fluent in English and German
Communication is the heart of a great experience. I conduct all tours in fluent English or German, depending on your preference.
Seamless Comfort
Your relaxation begins the moment we meet. I provide private pick-up and drop-off directly from your accommodation in Cape Town, Stellenbosch, or Somerset West. We typically start our day between 09:00 and 09:30, but as this is your private tour, we can adjust to suit your rhythm.

We spent two wonderful days with Heike. She was the perfect tour guide for us and showed us many beautiful sides of your wonderful homeland. She also fulfilled our special wish to visit Clifton Beach and Camps Bay today.
With kind regards, Sabine and Volker from Germany
Our three days with Heike were the best thing that could have happened to us in South Africa. We are far from finished processing the great impressions. If South Africa again, then only with you! Kind regards
Axel, from Germany
