Great Experience - Tripadvisor/Viator Ticket Issue
Significant confusion over what was the "ticket" to be used at the entrance. Finally figured it out with massive help from extremely helpful facility staff. Tripadvisor was not reachable by phone to assist with issue. Other than that, a great experience.

Pass on this one. Too many other great options in the area!
A waste of time. Really, nothing, of any value to see, but fairly expensive. Spent less than 15 minutes. Think twice before making the trip!
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
Table Mountain is one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, and once you reach the summit, you are surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views of Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula and the Atlantic Ocean. There are also approximately 2 km of pathways at the top, allowing visitors to explore different viewpoints and take in the incredible scenery from various angles.
From the summit, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of Cape Town's city centre, Table Bay, Robben Island, Lion’s Head, Devil’s Peak and the surrounding mountains and coastline.
We understand that every traveller has different interests, and we’re disappointed that Table Mountain was not what you expected. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration.
We hope you were still able to enjoy some of the many other wonderful experiences Cape Town has to offer.

We went at midday and it...
We went at midday and it was wonderful. The weather was perfect. There was a line, but it was no more than a 1/2 hour from steps to cable mountain. Getting in the cable car is a bit challenging as they fit 60 persons. If you are short, it will be impossible to film going up and down the mountain. I did ask a staff person to video and they cheerfully obliged. We spent a few hours there and explored almost every part of the mountain. Plenty of picture worthy spots all throughout the mountain. Had I had more time in Capetown, I would have hiked one of the trials.
Operator response
Thank you so much Irma! It was a pleasure helping you secure your ticket. I'm so glad you had perfect weather and were able to enjoy exploring the mountain. We hope to welcome you back to Cape Town again soon!
