100% worth every penny to skip the line. It was so hot and sunny and we were up and down the mountain without waiting hours in the hot sun. I stead we got to enjoy a memorable experience up top with Samuel our guide. He was great with giving us information about the mountain and cape town and was very kind to take a lot of great photos for us. We had a really enjoyable day. It was relaxing as well especially after hiking the mountain and lion’s head the days before.
I really appreciate your kind words about my guiding and helping with photos—it was a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing information about the mountain and Cape Town. We’re grateful you chose our service and hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience in the future. 🙏😊
