Cape Mountain Guides were the BEST!! Table Mountain was shrouded in clouds and Dohann first offered me the option of changing days. I had no other time, so he was happy to go for it anyway! He met me right on time at the starting point and was an absolute joy. Very energetic and positive. We made our way up tracks trails and climbs eventually getting to the top. I know we usually want to have clear skies but climbing in the clouds was something very special as well. Dorann had a picnic for us along the way and we had lots of great stories and conversation. He’s a kind and dedicated professional who is certainly in the right business. If you want to tour, he’s your man! One of the funnest days of hiking I can remember, especially because of the clouds. His guiding skills are excellent and he even collected up a few people at the top of the mountain, who had come up on the tram but had gotten a bit lost and couldn’t find their way back. A perfect day of hiking, and meeting a new friend!

This is the best thing happened to me so far here, the tour was full of activities and information. And a special thanks to the best tour guide ever “Ruben”. Thanks Ruben for the very informative tour, u have a looooot of information, always smiling and very helpful. Guys this is really worth every penny! Cheers

We had a fantastic trip with our guide Armand. He was a fantastic tour guide - very knowledgeable and we learnt so many interesting facts about everywhere we visited. The tour was great, seeing the penguins, cape point and the stunning Chapman’s Peak view. Thanks Armand!

We learned a lot more about how and why the townships were built - we became aware of that there is hope among the inhabitants but that there is a very long way to go…..

Absolutely amazing trip, seen so many different things that South Africa is famous for and James our tour guide was the best!
