Amazing experience - My partner and I did a morning hike up Platteklip Gorge with Frank and his partner Birgit. The views were incredible and Frank and Birgit provided us with such amazing company! We felt very comfortable in their presence and they were super supportive of any breaks we wanted up the mountain. Very well run tour company and if we are on this side of the world again, we will definitely do it again. Thanks for a great morning :)

Sunrise hike - Patrick is a super guide! He is very patient, attentive to everyone's needs and levels, funny, knows a lot about the mountains, the fauna and flora, and provides good anecdotes and historical and cultural facts. We did the Table Mountain hike (via the Platteklip route), which is a less technical route but still provides stunning views. We came down via the Cable Car after a stop at the restaurant at the top. Thanks to Patrick for being so professional. Highly recommend him ! PS - Bonus point, he can also speak French !

I recommend doing this hike with a guide. The hike was challenging but worth it. The views were breathtaking and feel good. The gide Patrick was very professional, kind. Thank you very much!

Platteklip Gorge Hike - Patrick was a great guide. There was just me on the hike and even though I was slower, there was no rushing and we could take breaks as needed. The hike is great, definately legs are gonna feel it, as most of it is just up the mountain and steps and steps... but felt great after when we reached the top! Weather caught me by surprise as I was extecting it to be colder but beautiful sunny day this time.

You learn so much more with a local. - I would highly recommend this hike for anyone looking to get stunning views, a bit of a workout, and some great local information. Patrick was an excellent guide who provided insight into the history of Table Mountain, Cape Town, and the surrounding area. We also learned a lot about the special flora and fauna of the mountain. Perfect morning out!
