Table Mountain Hike via Platteklip Gorge at Sunrise

Very good and sympathetic guide who helped us with everything. He gave us room to decide which walk to take. He brought a booklet with pictures of wild plants and looked it up.

Patrick was fantastic-he went at a pace that was appropriate for our condition and capability. He was very personable and shared his knowledge of the local flora and history. We thoroughly enjoyed him as our guide.

Andy guided me on this amazing hike experience. He is very knowledgeable about the Hike, the best routes, any potential risks, where to stand/sit for the best views and pictures. He was very attuned to my level of fitness and was able to guide us to the summit well ahead of the crowd that arrived later. He came prepared with a fully charged headlamp - and a thermos of hot water and a choice of instant coffee or tea (which was a welcome treat at the early hour). The sunrise view was stunning, life affirming. He took a number of photos of me at key photogenic sites. He gave me a lot of background and history on the city and some of the neighborhoods. Andy is a very pleasant travel companion. Finally he made sure we got down safely. I highly recommend this experience.

Patrick was a fantastic guide, very patient and incredibly knowledgable about the wildlife and history of the area. I would recommend him to anyone interested in climbing Table Mountain. The hike itself is challenging (of course), we climbed up through Platterklip gorge. There are some very steep sections, with big rocks/stairs to climb up. If you have short legs like me those sections may be hard work! But it was totally worth it. We climbed in June, and there were very few people hiking, so we had the trail almost completely to ourselves, and when we got up into the clouds it was like a different planet! Overall, an incredible experience made even better with a wonderful guide!

Tough first 20 mins, then easier stretch for 45 mins heading along side of mountain to start of gorge and then steady ascent. Took us 3 hrs 15. Benefitted from cool cloud cover for first 2.5 hrs and then sun broke through - more beautiful but tougher in the heat. Guide Patrick was very knowlegeable and let us manage the pace to suit us, so we had a great time!

I found those guides by recommendation of OpenAI. The guides loves the nature instead of making a living, which makes the experiences extraordinary and unforgettable. We had two groups of about 30 people and they all enjoyed the trip.

Such a great time. Patrick was really helpful and informative and patient. He even gave us a ride to and from our hotel! Highly recommended.

My partner and I did a morning hike up Platteklip Gorge with Frank and his partner Birgit. The views were incredible and Frank and Birgit provided us with such amazing company! We felt very comfortable in their presence and they were super supportive of any breaks we wanted up the mountain. Very well run tour company and if we are on this side of the world again, we will definitely do it again. Thanks for a great morning :)

Patrick is a super guide! He is very patient, attentive to everyone's needs and levels, funny, knows a lot about the mountains, the fauna and flora, and provides good anecdotes and historical and cultural facts. We did the Table Mountain hike (via the Platteklip route), which is a less technical route but still provides stunning views. We came down via the Cable Car after a stop at the restaurant at the top. Thanks to Patrick for being so professional. Highly recommend him ! PS - Bonus point, he can also speak French !

I had been looking forward to hiking Table mountain since prior visits to Capetown. I was finally able to book a tour and experience the challenging hike. I recommend doing this hike with a guide. The hike was challenging but worth it. The views were breathtaking and feel good. The gide Patrick was very professional, kind. Thank you very much!
