    At District Six Museum, since you are not entering, clients are briefed from the outside on the history and significance of the site.

12. Castle of Good Hope

    At our final stop, we are at the Castle of Good Hope, the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa, built between 1666 and 1679 by the Dutch East India Company.
