It is hard to find companies who will always assist a solo traveller, so I was so glad I found Path and Peak. My guide Rob was excellent, super knowledgeable and safety conscious. And booking and organising details was easy. Thank you for a magic morning on the mountain
Thanks for your review Megan. I've been a solo traveler myself and so it's a pleasure to be able to give back. Glad you had a great time with Rob and hope to see you again! Cheers, Nick
Booked the Lion's Head hike for a group from work. Nick is a quick responder to emails and he gives great information beforehand. On the day itself unfortunately i wasn't able to join due to an injury but all my co workers raved about the hike and the wonderful guides Nick appointed. Some found it a little challenging to reach the top but the guides all safely got them there so they could do their group shot! "Amazing views" is the remark i heard the most. Must do when in Cape Town!
Hey Cecile, thanks so much for your lovely review! I so appreciate it and I'm glad that we could provide a great team building experience for your work group. Until next year :) All the best, Nick
Great hike. Great guide. Super easy to coordinate beforehand. Professional and knowledgeable guide.
Thanks so much for your lovely review! We very much appreciate it. All the best, Nick
Initial communication was prompt, clear and very informative. Nick was really helpful and arranged everything with speed and ease to me. As a female solo traveller I was very nervous so wanted to arrange a guided hike and starting before sunrise I wanted to feel safe. My guide Rob completely put me at ease as soon as I met with him :-) Rob is such a nice guy, a fountain of knowledge and has a great energy. He taught me a lot about SA & gave me some good life hacks in general lol It rained on our first attempt so we couldn't complete the hike but Nick & Rob were very accommodating to ensure they got my to the summit before I departed SA! I really appreciated that as it was on my list and I really wanted to get up to see the great views of Cape Town. I will absolutely be using Path & Peak for any future bookings when I am back in Cape Town. Great service, value for money, friendly, just spot on in all aspects.
I had an amazing time on a guided hike up lion's head with path and peak adventures. My guide Nick Rocke was very friendly and informative and a pleasure to hike with,i would thoroughly recommend a hike up lion's head its an awesome experience and path and peak adventures make it even more special.
Hey Christine! Ah, where to begin? I can genuinely say that you were one of the most relaxing people to hike with since Path & Peak's inception. I felt super comfortable and chilled hiking with you. When I don't feel the need to fill all the moments of silence is when I know there's a good dynamic. You were also very tenacious and displayed some rather impressive climbing skills. I think you're also a first with your 3 tours booked in 2 weeks, amazing! Thanks again for being such a team player and please, please give me a shout when you're (definitely) back again. All the best, Nick :)
Nick is a very experienced and friendly guide, had an amazing time up on Lion's Head overlooking the best sights of Cape Town. Definitely recommend and will join again when in Cape Town.
Hey Martin! Thanks for your kind review and apologies for the delayed reply, we've been busy, busy on the mountain! It was awesome hiking with you; we got some really cool photos and you were a cool conversation partner to have up the mountain! All the best and I hope to see both you AND Cass next time you're in CT! Cheers, Nick :)
We arrived early at 5:30 meeting Nick on Signal Hill Road. Nick was great as he sent us a few messages prior to the trip confirming times, places and the plan for the tour. The Hike itself was great, Nick would often stop and explain about the nature, sights and general points of interest around Cape Town. He’s an excellent photographer and took some great shots of us both knowing exactly the best spots. This Hike is well worth it, the views of Table Mountain and the city below are amazing. I highly recommend Nick as a guide, he was friendly, charming, knowledgable and just overall and excellent guide! Thanks Nick👍🏻
Hey Steffan, thanks so much for your review and apologies for the late response, we have indeed been busy! So glad you enjoyed your hike up Lion's Head, what a beautiful morning it was. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Cape Town and I hope you will return to Cape Town for some more hiking in the future. All the best, Nick
We did this adventure on one of our first days in Capetown. The guide was really nice and helpful. He also gave us a few recommendations for our next days. He really deserves a 5 star rating
Hi Philipp, thanks so much for your kind words, it was a pleasure for me to meet you and your Dad. I'm really happy that you enjoyed the experience so much, Lion's Head is a serious winner! I hope you enjoyed some of my recommendations as well. All the best, Nick :)
Hiking to the top was an amazing experience and Nick was an informative and professional guide. He also acted as photographer and had plenty of ideas for incredible photos. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cape Town.
Hey Tara! Thanks so much for your kind words. It was lovely to hike with you, I hope your ankles are all good and glad you have some decent photos from your experience! Hope to see you again soon! Thanks, Nick :)
I had such an amazing climb with Nick, his knowledge about the area was great and the before we knew it we were on the top,taking in the spectacular view. Nick offered several options to climb to the head and so we opted for the adventurous route see photos attached, and yes Nick took them for me just an added bonus to the hike with Path and Peak not to mention my favourite part the mindful walking exercise connecting oneself with nature. A definite top ten in my books of things to do in Cape Town. Thanks Nick 👊🏻
