Table Mountain

The mountain in the middle of Cape Town offers many hikes and magnificent views in all directions.

Reviewed By 811michael - United Kingdom

We visited the stunningly beautiful Table Mountain. The cable ride to the top of the mountain was great fun with some absolutely incredible views, and once we were on top of The Table Mountain it was like stepping into heaven as you are lost for words on the breathtaking views and the amazing surrounds. Visiting Table Mountain and witnessing the majestic views was like being on the edge of space and seeing the beautiful clear blue sky on the horizon and all the beautiful areas and the coastline in the distances was just an experience we will never forget. Me, my wife and our daughter had the most amazing experience as the views and the surrounds made us feel like being lost, but in the right direction. This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our incredible South African holiday.

Reviewed By becs673 - Totnes, United Kingdom

We could not recommend this tour highly enough. Our guides Angie and Fred took us to four different wine producers for tastings all of which were in beautiful surroundings with wine experts to advise us. But more than this the whole day was filled with invaluable information about the region and South Africa in general. We also went to the town of Stellenbosch and had some other additional stop overs which were fabulous. We really felt that Angie and Fred treated us as friends rather then ‘clients’ and we travelled round in luxury in their spacious car. We got so much more out of going round the winelands with experts - going on our own would not have compared.

This one has been on my bucket list for ten years and on my third attempt the weather was finally on my side. Spectacular views over Cape Town and the Bay. The walk on top of the Table Mountain is breathtaking as well. Highly recommended but make sure you book your ticket online in advance.

My husband and I recently joined Sue for a great day in the wine region. She did a fabulous job explaining the history of the areas to us, letting us try a local treat and taking us to great wineries for first-hand experiences! She also picked a wonderful spot of our lunch.
We were lucky to see Sue twice on our trip - she helped us with an airport transfer on our first day. After a long travel day, seeing Sue's smile was a perfect welcome to South Africa!
Thank you for the great day (and transfer!) Sue!

There are also visitor facilities in the garden including restaurants, a nursery, a gift shop, a bookshop and a permanent Zimbabwean stone sculpture exhibition.

Reviewed By Robert D - Heers, Belgium

This is a very nice garden to walk and wander around. It is very well maintained and clean. There are pathways everywhere. There is even a skywalk. In this time of the year (early March) everything is green but there are no blossoms on the flowers anymore. (And thus not that many birds anymore). Depending on your time you can spend easily 3-4 hours in the garden.

I recently travelled to Cape Town on business. My transportation arrangements were handled by Billy, the proprietor of Nirabritz. Billy is the consummate professional and provided 1st class service for me and my colleagues for our entire stay. Despite a very hectic schedule, Billy managed all the logistics of the trip perfectly. It is rare to find the level of courteous, professional and insightful service that Billy provides anywhere. If you need any assistance on a trip to Cape Town I would certainly recommend the service of Nirabritz. Greg Fournier

I used Ken from Easy Airport Transfers to host guests of mine on a full day Cape Peninsula tour and for their airport transfers.
At all times Ken was polite and outgoing and looked after them extremely well. They loved the full day tour and stopped at all the must-see places and were also taken to a fabulous lunch spot which they raved about on arrival home.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company for your private day tours or for airport pickups. Very efficient and friendly.
