I loved the table mountain hike with Rudy! He is a very friendly guide, who knows the best timing to make a break, allowing us to recharge the energies and contemplate the amazing view! The experience up to the top was very pleasant! The township tour shows us the sad reality of the persistent poor living conditions. Although heartbreaking, people are friendly and you can also see beautiful street art and interesting projects/businesses, such as a community garden and a art gallery. The Bo-Kaap tour is not worth it. We were simply dropped there to take pictures of the colourful buildings, without having any historical context. To learn about Bo-Kapp, I recommend the free walking tours (which I did a couple of days later).
This was my first time climbing Table Mountain. I was worried about whether I could do it because I'm not very fit, but my guide Mr. Rudy told me not to push myself too hard and to let me know if I wanted to take a break, so I climbed at a relaxed pace. (He brought me water and was very considerate. He is a very honest and quiet person.) He paced me throughout the whole trip and told me just before the road was difficult, so I was prepared. I was walking and looked at the ground to avoid falling, so I didn't have time to enjoy the scenery, but he told me the names of flowers and birds during the breaks, so I enjoyed it. I would like to use this tour again when I go to Cape Town. I would like to build up my stamina and try climbing? as well. I asked him to pick me up at the hotel, but he sent me a photo of the car and the registration number via chat from in front of the hotel, so I felt safe even if we were meeting early in the morning. Thank you so much, Mr. Rudy.
