Good experience with excellent guide
Pickup was perfect by our guide Tafadhali Lubungo who texted us the evening before. He gave a lot of extra information on the way to the cable station. Guide came wij us up on the mountain for providing information. Weather was foggy so no big far views but nevertheless it was a great experience. Our guide took us afterwards to a great coffeehouse when he heard about our need for coffee and dropped us afterwards very convenient at the point in the city where we wanted to go. So a100% experience with a good and not pushy guide. Ask for him!

Arrive early and dress warmly
Booked the tickets online. Ridden the hop on hop off bus and against. After about 15 minutes of waiting we could enter the cable car. With my fear of heights, it's exciting because you can't hold on because the floor turns around. (In the middle of the car is the possibility to sit but then you see little because of the crowds)
We were on Table Mountain before 10 in the morning. It was very chilly because of the altitude and the strong wind so tip; dress warmly regardless of the 25 degrees that it can be at the bottom of the mountain.
Ten we came back down (that was around 2pm) then the line was literally 10x longer than when we arrived for the people who wanted to go up the mountain. So get there as early as possible that saves a big queue

Perfect Table Mountain experience with our guide
We had the most memorable experience from start to finish and made all the more special because of our fabulous tour guide, Claude. From start to finish, Claude went the extra mile and his knowledge of the whole of South Africa is very impressive. We highly recommend Claude.
