Epic route and an amazing guide! - Don was an awesome guide! We were looking forward to the hike, but slightly unsure about logistics, etc beforehand, but Don was clear in his communication and made sure we were able to prepare appropriately. More than this though, Don is a genuinely great guy, and clearly a very experienced guide. We enjoyed chatting to him throughout the journey (without it being forced like I’ve felt on other tours in the past) and he managed breaks appropriately according to our ability/fitness. He also took some epic photos for us, and shared great insights about the walk and the city itself. I can’t recommend Don highly enough for making an awesome hiking route even better!

Great Guide! - Don was an awesome guide. Knowledgeable and as friendly as they come, he was the perfect combo of charisma and experience. Don listened to the concerns of the group and tailored the hike to our fitness level. He was full of interesting facts and stories, ensuring we were well-informed and entertained all the way to the top! He also know all the best rest spots and photo op’s, sending on pics and tips for future travels after our climb. Thanks for a top experience - highly recommend!

Stunning Table Mountain hike - Don was an amazing guide and took us up such a beautiful route. Highly recommend to anyone visiting. He made sure we were safe, hydrated and took rest breaks when we needed them. We ended up being the only people on the hike which made it even more special and meant we could ask all the questions we wanted about CT.
