The tour was excellent because BRad our tour guide made it an amazing experience. Even though I had some difficulty climbing up, he held my arm to pull me me up and was. Rey patient. Brad even volunteered to hold my backpack for part of the journey. He was very professional, kind and encouraged me to climb up the mountain at my own pace. I felt very relaxed and knew I was in goid hands. Brad made my dream to climb the mountain possible. I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide also talked to us about the plants and flowers in the area so the tour was also packed with history and information about the mountain.

The best thing we did in Cape Town by far. The root was difficult but in the best way possible and our guide was incredible. I will be doing this very time I go.

Jean Michel and Marco were great guides, who know the India Venster trail and Table Mountain well. They were very helpful in guiding us up and telling us where to place our hands and feet when we needed to climb. We had a large group and I felt very safe, thanks guys!
