View fantastic - ticket issues.
The view was amazing - a must do.
The process for entry needed a QR that was an extra step, not just a print out of email sent as a supposed ticket. The ticket attendant went out of his way, taking us to his office so the proper ticket could be accessed, even using his own phone to get the What's App reference then taking us back to the front of the queue to get in - above and beyond service.
Check your Viator ticket carefully for extra steps.
Operator response
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the amazing Table Mountain views. We’re also happy that Table Mountain team could assist with the QR code and make your experience smoother. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again!

A great company, trip cancelled and refund to my account within hours.
Unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to the severe weather of high winds and heavy rain in the Cape Town area.
Viator had the money I had paid, refunded back to my account within hours. Thank you Viator.
Operator response

Unmissable Cape Town Experience
You can’t say you’ve fully seen Cape Town without going up Table Mountain. This was my second time up (first was ten years ago), and it still remains breathtaking.
I only wish I prepared ahead to do the longer walk to make more out of the experience. The first time I came I was with a disabled relative so we were limited in how far we could go due to the rough terrain, but this year I should have prepared for a hike! I also recommend going in the morning when the queues are shorter (everyone pre pays these days so you’re not really skipping any queue) but there is a wait when you want to go back down. In saying this, the management is organised and the cable ride is only a few minutes so the wait times aren’t painfully long. All in all an unmissable experience.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review and for visiting Table Mountain again after ten years! We're delighted to hear that the experience was just as breathtaking the second time around.It's great that you were able to enjoy more of what the mountain has to offer this visit, and we hope you'll have the opportunity to come back again fully prepared for one of the scenic hiking trails. We also appreciate your helpful advice to future visitors

Me and two of my friends...
Me and two of my friends did this excursion on a Tuesday afternoon shortly after lunch time. The line to get on the cable car was a little long, but it moved pretty quickly. The ride up provided wonderful views of the city. Even more beautiful was being able to walk around the top to get a different perspective from other vantage points.
Operator response
Thank you for your lovely review!
We're happy to hear that you and your friends had a great experience and enjoyed the beautiful views from the top. While queues can be a bit longer during peak times, we're glad it moved quickly and that the ride and scenery made it worthwhile.
We hope to welcome you again soon!

The experience depends on the weather of the day.
Wonderful view if the weather is clear

Great experience & views
Good advice to visit midday as there we hardly any queues. The cloud drifting across the mountain may have put some off, but didn’t affect the views
Operator response
