Unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to the severe weather of high winds and heavy rain in the Cape Town area.
Viator had the money I had paid, refunded back to my account within hours. Thank you Viator.

You can’t say you’ve fully seen Cape Town without going up Table Mountain. This was my second time up (first was ten years ago), and it still remains breathtaking.
I only wish I prepared ahead to do the longer walk to make more out of the experience. The first time I came I was with a disabled relative so we were limited in how far we could go due to the rough terrain, but this year I should have prepared for a hike! I also recommend going in the morning when the queues are shorter (everyone pre pays these days so you’re not really skipping any queue) but there is a wait when you want to go back down. In saying this, the management is organised and the cable ride is only a few minutes so the wait times aren’t painfully long. All in all an unmissable experience.

Me and two of my friends did this excursion on a Tuesday afternoon shortly after lunch time. The line to get on the cable car was a little long, but it moved pretty quickly. The ride up provided wonderful views of the city. Even more beautiful was being able to walk around the top to get a different perspective from other vantage points.

Thank you for your lovely review!
We're happy to hear that you and your friends had a great experience and enjoyed the beautiful views from the top. While queues can be a bit longer during peak times, we're glad it moved quickly and that the ride and scenery made it worthwhile.
We hope to welcome you again soon!

The visit was very nice especially for my husband who had never been. The operator was very responsive as the ticket was taken while we were in the waiting girl.
