About Heike Laufer

Meet Heike Laufer

My philosophy is simple. A great tour should be a conversation, not a lecture. It should be a day that unfolds perfectly, just for you.

I am the founder of Classy Cape Tours and your personal host in Cape Town. As a fully registered and accredited Western Cape Tour Guide, I have spent years connecting discerning international travellers with the true magic of this region.

My journey in tourism began with ViaVino Tours, a beloved brand I built around my deep passion for the Cape Winelands. I truly loved sharing the complex stories and hidden gems of our wine routes.

Over time, I realised that my clients' interests, and my own, extended far beyond the vineyard. They wanted to experience the full spectrum of the Cape: the dramatic coastlines, the vibrant culture, the unique wildlife, and the exceptional food, all with the same personal, curated approach.

I launched Classy Cape Tours as the answer. This is a truly bespoke service for travellers who value depth, authenticity, and comfort. My focus is not on 'doing' but on 'experiencing'. I manage every detail, from private, air-conditioned premium transport to seamless bookings, so you can simply be present and enjoy your journey.
