Street art tour guides use VoiceMap
Local street art guides, Nadia Agherdine and Anthea Brock, are preparing to take their tours to the next level with the use of audio tours to ensure accessibility for more locals.
Since the inauguration of the annual International Public Art Festival (Ipaf) in 2017, they have become the face of local street art tours in Salt River and their tours are now becoming increasingly popular, according to a statement.
After expressing deep interest in street art, Baz-Art, the organisers of Ipaf, extended the opportunity to register and qualify the women as official Western Cape tour guides.
This has “been the start of an incredible journey!” Agherdine exclaims in the statement.
“Being registered as an official Western Cape tour guide became the launchpad for a number of other initiatives,” she says. The tour guide qualification has been a stepping stone for her and led her to open spin-off businesses, which are related to authentic and responsible tourism, such as The Cape Malay Luncheon and her own tourism company, Kaytan Tours.
