The V&A Waterfront, South Africa’s oldest working harbour, has introduced a new audio walking tour (Reinventing the Tavern of the Seas), where interested parties can learn about the humble beginnings of the V&A Waterfront, starting with Ferrymans Tavern.
The tour allows participants to travel through time, history and culture as well as the opportunity to “meet” some of the characters who’ve helped shape its evolution and hear some of the stories that brought it to life.
