5.00We did the 4 hour challenging hike about Kasteelspoort with Lynette. She taught us so much about the flora and fauna of the region, the history and story of Cape Town and South Africa. She was generous enough to give us recommendations for our onwards journey. All in all without her pleasant personality, encouragement and infectious charm we would not have completed this hike through the rainy cloudy weather that day. Highly recommend her as a guide!
Best Tour Guide in Cape Town South Africa 😎

5.00This was our first time in South Africa and we were reluctant about going to Cape Town because the weather was forecasted to be rainy and windy. However, we hit the jackpot with the weather situation and our tour guide, Lynette. She definitely deserves a five star rating for her positivity, knowledge of the area and compassion to make Cape Town a wonderful experience. My friend had researched a lot and he said to our other five friends I'm telling you I think this person is the best one in Cape Town! I would have to agree with him 1000% if you're planning a trip to Cape Town definitely I would highly highly recommend hiring Lynette as your tour guide!!
