After initial problems great tour

We first had to wait 45 min. for the actually promised pickup from the hotel, which only came about after contact with Viator. After that, however, everything went smoothly and Samuel was a great guide who brought us everything we needed to know about Table Mountain and the main sights of Cape Town.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the delay in the hotel pickup and for any inconvenience caused. This does not reflect our usual service standard. However, we are very pleased to hear that everything went smoothly afterward and that you enjoyed Samuel as your guide. Your positive feedback about his explanations of Table Mountain and the main sights of Cape Town will gladly be passed on to him. Thank you again for your understanding and your valuable comments. We hope to welcome you again on a future tour.
