Jason and Shaun took us on our Scootours adventure and they were amazing! We had a great time and they took time to tell us interesting local facts along the way ! Highly reccomend! !
G and Sean were great hosts explaining all aspects of the routes to be taken and the instructions to all the family including our 11yr old daughter. Even though Table mountain is having numerous shutdowns at this time of year and also major works to the access roads, Sean and G had off road access routes up the mountain with great views. These routes added to the overall experience. A great few hours were had exploring and having loads of fun on table mountain and signal hill.
Scootering itself was good fun. Not so good was parting with R250 for the photos taken by the guide/driver and then never receiving them - no response to my emails asking for photos either. Be wary of this.
Good day. Please send your details to capetown@scootours.co.za and we will look into this.
These self propelled scooter rides are really great. Going down Signal Hill into the town and then back up to Table Mountain and meeting in town again was a nice change.
Really well organised. A great experience. My younger kids are 9 and 12 - & to be honest, were a bit scared! But the tour guide was amazing and patient with them. Amazing scenery and a wonderful experience. We did x2 different tracks. So pleased we found this tour.
Group of six of us aged 6-60 went on this brilliant activity down the mountain. Children under 9 or under 1.35m had to go on a scooter with an adult which is fine. The track is bumpy and steep in places but the scooters have excellent brakes and you quickly learn to adjust your posture to your speed, to slow down or go faster. Wonderful scenery and views as you scoot down the mountains (Signal Hill and Table Mountain) and friendly helpful guides. Fantastic fun had by all, definitely recommended!
I was honestly a bit nervous about getting on a scooter and riding down a mountain so I came onto TripAdvisor beforehand to read the reviews. I must say that the reviews do not do this experience justice. My boys absolutely enjoyed the thrill of riding their scooters downhill and the views were absolutely breathtaking!!! We have an amazing city and wow what a way to see it!
My 20-year-old daughter and I had a great time on the Scootour. It's a good way to see the area around Table Mountain while having fun. The scooters go fast in some sections but the big tires make them easy to ride and stable. We never felt like we were going to hurt ourselves. We got two rides in different areas of the mountain. Our tour guides, Bradley and Gilbert, arrived on time and were very friendly.
Great guides. Good adventure experience. Quite technical. Not for the faint hearted. Beautiful views.
Excellent crew, experience, just needed cold water otherwise we enjoyed it very much. Def to do it again, thank you for excellent guides
