Personalised tour on it's best - Excellent Tour supported by OTC, many thanks Lynette and Amber. Be prepared as early you can, to be not later than 9:30a.m. on the plateau, anything else is too hot.

Pattleklip Gorge/Table Mountain & Lions Head Hikes - We did the Pattleklip Gorge/Table Mountain & Lions Head hikes with Lynette. She was the perfect guide collecting us from our hotel on both occasions & taking us to the start point of both hikes. Lynettes knowledge of the routes, the history & taking time to point out interesting flora & fauna added to the experience. The hikes were at a great pace to suit everyone. Would not hesitate in using Lynette again for other tours should be return The Cape

Cape Town must do! - We did the Platteklip gorge hike with Lynette and it was amazing. We loved every minute of it. Lynette was really easy to speak to, was laid back, took into account our fitness levels and went at the pace we are comfortable with. made the tour fun by giving us some interesting facts and knowledge about South Afric, table mountain and the wonderful wildlife! From my point of view it was a difficult hike but doing it with a group made it more enjoyable and motivated me even more. Definitely recommend would love to do another tour with her but sadly ran out of time.

To an enthralling experience! Perfect way to start the day! - The views from the table mountain were spectacular. Lynette was an amazing guide and was very cooperative throughout. She had some fun facts for us too. Overall a fun and great experience. A bit strenous for sure though for novice hikers!

Fabulous guided walk - Wow, what an experience! Every part of it was spot on. Easy to book, great communication throughout, a pickup from our hotel bang on time, a fully guided walk up Platterklip Gorge, a host of interesting facts and wildlife observations, and, much, much, more. And, boy was it worth it! Great views all the way up as the sun rose and then the joy of reaching the top all under our own steam.
Thanks Lynette, much appreciated.

Highly recommend - Well organised, collected direct from our hotel at the time agreed. Clear communication upfront.
Really enjoyable experience - pace was set for the groups ability, only half a dozen in the group which was good. Lots of information along the way which we wouldn’t have got if we’d done this without a guide.
