Itinerary
At the lower cable station, we will join a queue of tourists to go on the five-minute cable car trip to the top of Table Mountain, 1 067 meters above sea level, and explore the summit. You’ll find a self-service restaurant, Table Mountain Café, offering a range of food and drinks, snacks, desserts and wines. Table Mountain is a great spot to sit and soak up the commanding 360-degree views of Cape Town, Table Bay, the nearby peaks of the surrounding mountains and the rest of the Table Mountain National Park, in which the Cableway is situated. There are 3 trails you can choose to do with the guide: DASSIE WALK (15 min) AGAMA WALK (30 min) KLIPSPRINGER WALK (45 min)

Fayisal picked us up and drove up to the cable car. Along the way, he told us about the areas we passed. Very easy to "skip the queue" that we bought as an addition. The regular line was very long. Once up it was windy but the view was clear. Fayisal took us on a hiking tour that gave us the opportunity to see the view from several different directions. After the visit and the cabin down he drove us where we wanted to be dropped off. A very nice half day with a friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable guide.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the skip-the-line option made things smoother for you. It’s wonderful that the clear views and hiking stops gave you different perspectives of the scenery. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Fayical, he’ll be thrilled to know his guiding made your day memorable. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
This Table Mountain tour was absolutely outstanding. The scenery from the top is breathtaking, and having a knowledgeable guide made the experience even more meaningful. There was plenty of time for photos, questions, and simply taking in the incredible surroundings.
I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Table Mountain tour and the breathtaking views from the top. Allowing time for photos, questions, and simply taking in the scenery is exactly how the experience should be enjoyed, so it’s great to know that came through. Thank you again for joining the tour, and I hope to see you again in Cape Town in the future.
Our trip was cancelled due to high winds on the mountain. We where kept informed about the situation and our refund was made into our account quickly
Thank you for your understanding and kind review. 🌬️ We’re sorry the tour had to be cancelled due to high winds, but your safety will always be our top priority. I’m glad you were kept informed and that your refund was processed quickly. We hope to welcome you back to Cape Town soon and get you up Table Mountain on a perfect day. 🙏
Booked this 6 months in advance. The company cancelled on us last minute when there was no time to reschedule for that day. We rescheduled for three days later. Day before tour I contacted them several times with zero return call/text to confirm pickup. Day of pickup, 5 minutes after pickup time I call THEM again to be told Table Mountain was closed due to wind. Due to last minute cancellation and terrible communication day before and day of pickup I would never recommend this company.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and We are truly sorry that your experience with Table Mountain did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is sometimes forced to close at short notice due to gale-force winds and safety conditions on the mountain. Which is completely outside of our control, and we are not permitted to operate the tour when this happens. Regarding communication, I’m very sorry you felt let down. We did stay in contact and confirm the rescheduled date and time via message, and on the morning of the tour we only received final confirmation of the mountain’s closure shortly before your pickup time. We fully understand the disappointment, especially after planning your trip so far in advance and having limited time in Cape Town. Safety, however, has to remain our first priority for all guests.
The visit was very nice but you can also do it without a guide because the paths are well marked!
Ciao! Grazie mille per la tua recensione e per aver scelto di visitare Table Mountain con noi. 😊 Hai ragione: i sentieri sono ben segnalati e molti escursionisti scelgono di andare in autonomia. Allo stesso tempo, la nostra guida aggiunge valore con curiosità su geologia, flora e fauna, gestione dei tempi (meteo, funivia, code), scelta dei percorsi in base al livello del gruppo e consigli di sicurezza per godersi la montagna in tranquillità. Speriamo di rivederti presto per un itinerario personalizzato, magari un sentiero meno battuto al tramonto! Grazie ancora e buon proseguimento di viaggio. 🙌
We are so glad we booked our guided tour of the top of Table Mountain. We learned so much while taking in the breathtaking views stretching for miles! After out time at the top, including a stop inside the eatery at the top, we went back down the cable car and our driver took us back to the hotel taking the route around the backside of Lion's Head. We would highly recommend and if you go, sending you good luck on a clear-weather day like we experienced!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the guided tour of Table Mountain and that the weather offered those incredible views. It’s always a privilege to share the rich history and beauty of the mountain with our guests. We're glad you had time to enjoy the eatery and the scenic return via Lion’s Head too. Thank you for recommending us, and here's to more clear-weather days for future adventurers! 🌞🗻
Fantastic, informative tour with Chris who was very knowledgeable and interesting. The fast track entry was a definite plus too.

Chris was a very informative guide and led us on our walk around Table mountain, which is a must do in Cape Town. Would definitely recommend
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are glad you enjoyed the walk around Table Mountain, it truly is one of Cape Town's must-do experiences. We really appreciate your recommendation!
Ivan was an excellent guide that took us to the top of the mountain without waiting on line to buy tickets and he explained us the points of interest to look at. It was a pleasant and smooth tour.
Thank you for reviewing this tour. We are delighted that it was pleasant and smooth. Travel safe.
Wonderful place to explore. Just note, the cable car does not always run, as high winds effect whether it will run or not.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
