Great trip with Joel. Joel is an excellent tour guide with great knowledge. He showed us the world of plants and was completely attentive to our needs. We will never forget the day we spent with him!

Absolutely incredible experience!! Matt is so knowledgeable and was an exceptional guide- made it fun, challenging, and pointed out so many beautiful things along the way. Highlight of our trip. Cannot recommend enough!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for the glowing review. We strive to provide the most memorable experience while also being more than a guide but rather a companion on your hike. Thank you so much for joining us and hope to see you again in Cape Town in the future.

Great guide! Pray for decent weather.

Matt is an excellent guide! Unfortunately for my wife and I, the weather did not go our way: strong winds and significant runoff from recent rains. We got about halfway up elevationwise—to the top of the ladders—but had to turn back due to the winds and high water levels. Matt gave us a detour on a contour trail to a rockslide so we could get our steps in and a nice view. We then returned to the gardens, our starting point, where Matt gave us a nice tour and lunch at the restaurant there. If you like hot chocolate, theirs is excellent! He then drove us to the front of the mountain at the base cable car station. The winds were howling! The cable car was not running. Even on a nice day, this is a very strenuous hike. If we made it all the way, it would have been over six miles to the top—the first part that we did accomplish was a relentless climb. If the cable car is not running, it’s a little under two miles down.

Hi Thomas Thank you for the review and great to spend time on the mountain with you and your wife. Yes, certainly no easy routes up the mountain and the weather was not on our side on the day. I'm glad you should courage to at least hike on the mountain and enjoy the fresh air and peace in the national park. Safe travels home to the kids and growing family of grandkids!

Matt - a lunch wizard

Anna, Apr 2023

For us it was very useful to do the hike guided as there are several possibilities to hike up and part of our route included hiking up a waterfall. Matt was very well prepared for the hike including water and snacks for everyone - and even magically made a lunch out of his bag appear that we enjoyed at the best view spot of the hike (cheese, crackers, strawberries etc). Also Matt shared a lot of interesting insights about flora and fauna but also let us enjoy the hike in silence when necessary.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi Anna We always strive to make every tour special and so glad you enjoyed out picnic lunch and treats on the hike. Of course there is so much knowledge to share on the mountain and we love providing this information in a relaxed way.

One of the best ways to experience Table Mountain

ONE OF THE BEXT EXPERIENCE FROM OUR WHOLE TRIP. My Husband and I booked a private tour with matt and he was just the best person to do this with. We wanted to do more than just go to the top of the mountain and look, we wanted something a little less touristy and traditional. This is exactly what we got! :) Out tour started with a walk trough the the Kirstenbosch Garden, then on to the the base of Table Mountain to start our hike. It was incredibly scenic and Matt is VERY knowledgeable about the mountain, surrounding areas and and history, Just a great guide and company during the total of 4-5 hours we spent together. Out tour ended at the top of the mountain at the lookout point, got a bite to eat and a beer to refuel before headed back down on the train, and dropped off at our hotel. I cant recommend this tour enough!!

Response from Host, Dec 2020

Thanks so much Jennifer! You and Adam made the hike even more exceptional and fun as we smiled and laughed the whole way up Skeleton Gorge to the top of Table Mountain. We appreciate the compliments as we always aim strive to surpass our high standards every time we step outdoors. We wish you a happy and safe festive season!
