Matt was a great guide. Super helpful and insightful. Smooth ride to and from the mountain and great guide. Would highly recommend!
Thanks Chris! Lovely to spend the morning on your honeymoon hike up Lion's Head. Enjoy the rest of your stay in South Africa and all the best for your exciting journey ahead.
We booked a private Lions Head sunset hike with Bike and Hike Tours. We were picked up from our hotel at 3:30 PM and the hike started at 4:00 PM. Our guide Joel was absolutely amazing, he knows a lot of about the local flora and history of the area. He took care about us during the whole hike/climb keeping the safety issues as a first. The hike was so funny, especially the climbing sections secured with ladders and chains, we felt like after the gym. The views from the top and also during the hike were breathtaking. Joel also provided bottles of water and some chocolate bars for us. We can strongly recommend Bike and Hike Tours and will be happy to use their services again.
Hi Karol Thank you for the lovely review. We are delighted your hike was made even better with the experience and fun nature of your guide Joel. Thank you for choosing us and happy travels!
The Lions Head hike at sunrise is a beautiful. Matt was awesome to ensure that we were safe and comfortable.
We appreciate the feedback and thank you for joining us as part of your adventures in Cape Town.
I did the Lion's Head Hike and Cape Town's Finest City Bike Tour with Bike & Hike and both were excellent. The Lion's head hike was initially to be Table mountain but due to high winds we switched. Matthew proactively reached out to me to alert me to the wind issue and proposed Lion's head as an alternative which was great as it proved to be an excellent option. The Bicycle tour was also quite enjoyable with comfortable quality bicycles provided as well as a helmet. Skeezo my guide was quite engaging and shared stories and historic background that really made this much more than a bicycle ride. Great company to work with for an active and personalized experience in and around Cape town

We did the hike to Lions head with Bike and Hike before sunrise with Matt as our guide. We had to get up very early to be able to reach the top before the sun came up but it was definitely worth it. The views were absolutely stunning and the experience was amazing. We also arrived at the top before the crowds which made it even more special. Highly recommended day tour.
Thank you for the lovely review and choosing us for multiple experiences while you were in Cape Town. Well done on a beautiful sunrise Lions Head hike.
So much fun and Abie was the best. He was great at helping during the difficult parts and made it a wonderful experience. It does get rocky and a bit challenging so keep that in mind, but the views were amazing.
Hi Jennifer Thank your for a top review and we are glad our highly trained and experienced guides ensured you felt safe while having a fun hike on the mountain. Safe and happy onward travels!
What a awesome tour and our guide Abie was amazing. Amy and I would strong recommend thus tour and Abie as a guide
Hi Huw We are thrilled you enjoyed the Lions Head Summit experience with us. Thank you for choosing Bike and Hike and wishing you a lovely trip further.
What a great day! First a hike to Lions Head which was very challenging for me, but our guide Abie made sure I was able to safely complete the entire hike. Than on to Stellenbosch for a farm to table lunch with wine tastings, then a mountain bike adventure. The whole day was fabulous and I highly recommend this company and specifically Abie as a guide.
Dear Ilene Thank you for the wonderful review and we are delighted you had a truly memorbale day. We are so glad to have been able to combine our two experiences - Lions Head Summit Hike AND Stellenbosch Sip & Cycle Half day into one incredible day. We pride ourselves on flexibility and bespoke tours and we are delighted Abie was able to be your guide for this active day. Hope to see you in Cape Town again!
Guide was excellent and caring. Views were beautiful. Hike was more challenging than expected would recommend
