We had a fantastic hike up Table Mountain on the Kasteel route. Our guide Barry was brilliant and very informative. The views were great and we really enjoyed the whole experience.
Liesl was an awesome guide. Very personable and knowledgable. Would highly recommend. Route up was scenic and varied.
Our Gide Lynette, has made our experience perfect , she has al lot of knowledge and took enough time for us to explain everything, (history , wildlife and the vegetation) We had a Great Trip and we will be back for another path !
We did the 4 hour challenging hike about Kasteelspoort with Lynette. She taught us so much about the flora and fauna of the region, the history and story of Cape Town and South Africa. She was generous enough to give us recommendations for our onwards journey. All in all without her pleasant personality, encouragement and infectious charm we would not have completed this hike through the rainy cloudy weather that day. Highly recommend her as a guide!
This was our first time in South Africa and we were reluctant about going to Cape Town because the weather was forecasted to be rainy and windy. However, we hit the jackpot with the weather situation and our tour guide, Lynette. She definitely deserves a five star rating for her positivity, knowledge of the area and compassion to make Cape Town a wonderful experience. My friend had researched a lot and he said to our other five friends I'm telling you I think this person is the best one in Cape Town! I would have to agree with him 1000% if you're planning a trip to Cape Town definitely I would highly highly recommend hiring Lynette as your tour guide!!
Amazing tour with the most awesome guide! Discovered the Fynbos, conquered the trail and had a lovely chat on the way. Would definitely recommend!
Amber was a great guide with a lot of knowledge about Tafelberg and the fauna and flora in the mountains. We had a lot of fun today, would definitely recommend!
The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, punctual and efficient. We felt very safe and well-looked after. The guide allowed us to set the pace, and the whole experience was very enjoyable.
This s my second hike with Lynette up Table Mountain, and hopefully not the last! A beautiful mountain and wonderful guide, highly recommended.
Lynette was an excellent guide, so nice and friendly. She told us a lot about our surroundings, nature and history of the Table Mountain area. We definitely hike with her again when we’re back in South Africa. We loved it.
