Magic morning at lions head

5.00It is hard to find companies who will always assist a solo traveller, so I was so glad I found Path and Peak. My guide Rob was excellent, super knowledgeable and safety conscious. And booking and organising details was easy. Thank you for a magic morning on the mountain

5.00Booked the Lion's Head hike for a group from work. Nick is a quick responder to emails and he gives great information beforehand. On the day itself unfortunately i wasn't able to join due to an injury but all my co workers raved about the hike and the wonderful guides Nick appointed. Some found it a little challenging to reach the top but the guides all safely got them there so they could do their group shot! "Amazing views" is the remark i heard the most. Must do when in Cape Town!

5.00Initial communication was prompt, clear and very informative. Nick was really helpful and arranged everything with speed and ease to me. As a female solo traveller I was very nervous so wanted to arrange a guided hike and starting before sunrise I wanted to feel safe. My guide Rob completely put me at ease as soon as I met with him :-) Rob is such a nice guy, a fountain of knowledge and has a great energy. He taught me a lot about SA & gave me some good life hacks in general lol It rained on our first attempt so we couldn't complete the hike but Nick & Rob were very accommodating to ensure they got my to the summit before I departed SA! I really appreciated that as it was on my list and I really wanted to get up to see the great views of Cape Town. I will absolutely be using Path & Peak for any future bookings when I am back in Cape Town. Great service, value for money, friendly, just spot on in all aspects.

Stunning Lion’s Head Morning Hike

5.00We arrived early at 5:30 meeting Nick on Signal Hill Road. Nick was great as he sent us a few messages prior to the trip confirming times, places and the plan for the tour. The Hike itself was great, Nick would often stop and explain about the nature, sights and general points of interest around Cape Town. He’s an excellent photographer and took some great shots of us both knowing exactly the best spots. This Hike is well worth it, the views of Table Mountain and the city below are amazing. I highly recommend Nick as a guide, he was friendly, charming, knowledgable and just overall and excellent guide! Thanks Nick👍🏻

5.00I had such an amazing climb with Nick, his knowledge about the area was great and the before we knew it we were on the top,taking in the spectacular view. Nick offered several options to climb to the head and so we opted for the adventurous route see photos attached, and yes Nick took them for me just an added bonus to the hike with Path and Peak not to mention my favourite part the mindful walking exercise connecting oneself with nature. A definite top ten in my books of things to do in Cape Town. Thanks Nick 👊🏻
