Fantastic Experience

David_P, Feb 2026
A fantastic experience- our driver Lieven was excellent, he was very knowledgeable and got us to the cable car before the massive queues formed. The views from Table Mountain were breathtaking Highly recommended !

Viator Quality of Support Failure

Cedric_B, Jan 2026
Booked activ for 9. Driver departed at 8:30. Mass confusion, rudeness. Customer ignored! No support.

Great day at Table Mountain with Lieven

Jessica_E, Dec 2025
From beginning to end, it was perfect!! A big shout out to Lieven, our driver and guide for the day! Excellent communication, on time, attentive, very knowledgeable and professional. He speaks fluent French which was a good surprise. Would gladly use his services again in the future!

Uber 5km Pickup Radius.

Samuel_L, Dec 2025
The not so well explained 5km Uber pickup radius left me and my family frustrated. Communication needs to improve.

Lieven was a fantastic...

Matt_M, Dec 2025
Lieven was a fantastic guide! Picked us up at our accommodation and drove us to Table Mountain, and helped us upgrade our tickets to fast track so we didn’t need to wait hours in the main queue. The views from the rope of Table Mountain were spectacular and we really enjoyed this experience! On the drive back, Lieven took us on a more scenic route and told us lots about the history of Cape Town, very informative and generous of him!

I can’t say enough great...

Vanessa_M, Sep 2025
I can’t say enough great things about our guide, Levine! He accommodated each of our requests and was so patient and kind. The views to and from table mountain are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen and we even got to take pictures from signal hill. This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

It was very cloudy, but our guide still made it a great experience, we were still able to take some great photos.

Nancy_A, Mar 2025
A must-do tour in Cape Town! Enjoy the most stunning panoramic views of the city, the mountains and the coastlines! Our guide, Tafa, was excellent: provided us with a invaluable perspective on Cape Town, its history and its culture, guided us to be ahead of the crowds, and was so kind and personable! Ask for him as your guide. This tour was a highlight of our trip!!

Breath taking experience

Jenni_T, Sep 2024
We had a great time. The cable car experience was breath tajing. I would recommend upgrading to fast track as the queues are long!!

Great experience to the top of Cape Town
