Me and my partner did the India Venster hike with Lynette guiding us and we had the most fantastic day! Lynette was very friendly as well as very knowledgeable of the area and guided us up the mountain as well as through the history of the area and it’s surroundings. We were able to go at our own pace and the hike was very enjoyable and rewarding with a huge sense of achievement when we had finished! You will not look at table mountain the same after doing the walk knowing you have conquered it and I would recommend this hike to absolutely everybody as my partner and I had the best day and loved every second of it! Experiencing the mountain and the nature from the route was surreal and it was a once in a lifetime hike where you will make some incredible memories and see some amazing views. Already looking to book the next one- so many different hikes to do!

We don't often take "tours", but we had a great time with our informative and friendly guide, Brahm. The sights were lovely, and the walk from cape to cape was a nice way to break up a long day on the bus.

Got in rather late to the airport with an arrival from Beijing. It was nice to see someone waiting for me with the sign with my name on it. The young driver was polite and friendly and extremely helpful. Highly recommend! I had to change the date and time and the coordinator was very flexible. He contacted me via WeChat, so very easy to communicate.
