Just unbelievable

We had the most incredible time with Nick and went on an amazing, breathtaking hike with him. Nick always made sure we were comfortable the entire time, and he combined the hike with fascinating information about the flora and fauna, as well as about Table Mountain, Cape Town, and South Africa. I highly recommend that anyone planning a hike up Lions Head, Table Mountain, or one of the Twelve Apostles book with Nick.

Howzit Jannis! I appreciate your wonderful review :) It was a total pleasure guiding Celine and yourself up Hout Bay Corner, you both owned it! It's really tough to explain in words our experience, everything we were able to see and how lucky we were with sightings of Klipspringers and we couldn't have asked for better weather. I hope you had a beautiful rest of your stay in South Africa and hope to meet you and Celine again in the near future for another adventure!

Epic Hike up India Venster (Table Mountain)

Nick is the whole package: thoroughly professional, extremely competent and knowledgeable, and exceptionally kind and engaging. I have been coming to Cape Town for 15 years and have hiked up Table Mountain many times, but Nick taught me more about the flora, fauna and history of Table Mountain on one hike than I’ve learned in my 15 years of solo hiking up the mountain. Plus, he surprised me with a French press delicious coffee (complete with homemade Rusks) halfway up the mountain. Turns out he’s a barista too! In a word, the entire experience was EPIC. I couldn’t recommend Nick more highly as a guide.

Howzit Mark! I appreciate your time and words given to leave me a review and what a pleasure it was guiding you on an iconic route you've never experienced before! India Venster is the ultimate introduction route for scrambling on Table Mountain and I'm sure you'll be back for more adventures. The coffee and rusks whilst taking in the views is always an enjoyed reward after some good hiking and 'under promising and over-delivering' is key in this line of profession. So glad you enjoyed the surprise! You were fantastic on the mountain and I'm looking forward to our next adventure, until next time, have a lekker one!

A must!

If I could give Nick a 100 stars I would. This was the most enjoyable hike I've ever done during my travels. From booking, the communication was thorough and Nick did an evaluation of my comfort, fitness, and expertise level to make sure this excursion was to my expectations. Lions head was just spectacular, and Nick has such a great eye! The photos are unbelievable. I highly suggest paying the extra fee for the professional photos. I strongly recommend this excursion to anyone not just looking for a great hike and scenery, but also amazing photographs to remember it by. Thank you Nick!

Operator response

Howzit V! Wow, thanks for your incredible review and I'm super pleased to know that this was your most enjoyable hiking experience to date. You highlighted my communication and this is a part of my mission to offer my guests the ultimate hiking experience through immersive guiding, tailored to my guest's individual needs. I can 1000% agree with you that opting for my photographic experience is worth it as capturing these images on one of our 7 new wonders of nature is priceless. You were incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed connecting with you. Thanks again for booking with me and I hope that the remainder of your travels through Africa is just as special. Until next time bro, stay active!

Hallo Salwan, Vielen dank für deine tolle Bewertung! Es war mir ein großes Vergnügen, dass du und deine Cousine Abir zum zweiten Mal mit mir wandern wart.

Hi Tania! It sounds like you had a super enjoyable 48th birthday on our treasured Table Mountain, such a wonderful place to enjoy your special day. I appreciate the 5-star review, however, it's been noted that you did not hike with me and therefore your wonderful review was accidentally posted on my listing. I have reported this in the hopes that TripAdvisor will move your review to the correct listing. Take care and keep enjoying our beautiful mountain!

A perfect climb!

The guided climb of the lionshead was a truly fantastic experience. Super friendly and good guidance made it not too exciting for the first time. He adjusts his speed and provides assistance where necessary. Along the way a lot of nice pictures and videos were made which is perfect for the long memory. Furthermore, he had tasty homemade snacks that you could really enjoy and told a lot of facts and history about the entire city and nature. Highly recommended for people who want to climb the lionshead with a guide.

Hallo Wietse! Hartelijk dank voor je vriendelijke recensie, ik waardeer je warme woorden enorm. Het was een groot plezier om Carla en jou te begeleiden. Het landschap vanochtend was onvergetelijk - van de verre, door de zon verlichte ochtendregen voor de Tafelberg tot de regenbogen boven de Atlantische Oceaan. De lekkernijen die we tijdens het genieten van het uitzicht kregen, maakten de ervaring compleet! Nogmaals bedankt voor de wandeling en ik hoop je snel weer te zien voor een volgend avontuur!

100/10!!!

Had an incredible hike with Nick on Table Mountain. It was a truly unique and memorable experience. Nick combines deep knowledge with a great sense of humor, making the tour not only informative but also fun and engaging throughout. You can tell how passionate he is about the mountains, and he shares so many interesting details along the way. A special highlight was the coffee stop on the mountain – such a thoughtful touch that made the whole experience even more special. If you’re looking for more than just a standard hike and want something personal, versatile, and unforgettable, I can highly recommend Nick.

Lifetime memories!!!

Where do I even start!!! I had the chance to hike both Lion’s Head and Table Mountain with Nick, and I can honestly say it was one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve had in Cape Town. Nick is an incredible person inside and out. His knowledge, experience, and deep connection to the mountains are truly amazing. You can tell he knows every trail, every detail, and every special corner of the journey, and that makes the whole experience feel so much more meaningful. One of the most memorable parts was the beautiful moment he created for us with coffee/tea on the mountain. It was such a thoughtful and special touch, and honestly something I’ll never forget. It turned an already amazing hike into something really unforgettable. If you’re thinking about hiking in Cape Town, I cannot recommend Nick enough. He doesn’t just guide you, he creates an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. I truly hope I can come back one day and do it all again with my family. Thank you, Nick, for such an incredible experience. You’re a special person, and anyone who hikes with you is in great hands!

Epic experience!

Absolutely incredible hike with Nick! We went up Woody Buttress to Tranquility Cracks and down Corridor Ravine - it was adventurous & I was welcomed by the most amazing views. Nick is super knowledgeable about the local wildlife, plants, geology, as well as things to do & see around Cape Town. His photography skills are next level. I'm not the fittest hiker, but he was so patient & accommodating throughout. The freshly brewed coffee and snacks were such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend!

Our adventure was nothing short of epic, having multiple-level experiences with nature that allows us to view the outdoors differently forever. Your special mentions about my knowledge, photography, coffee / snacks are just some of the special treats that can be experienced. Always remember that life's too short for mediocre experiences and I'm looking forward to our next adventure :)

Hi Jayd! Thank you for your warm review and for trusting me to safely guide your curious and adventurous son. His rock-scrambling skills have improved greatly and I'm fascinated by his wild imagination - I'm so amazed at how he picks up on all the little details, always remembering parts of our previous hikes. Experiencing the full moon rise above the low clouds was super special and I'm looking forward to our next adventure!
