5.00Tony was very considerate, kind, and a great guide. He made sure we could get to the meeting point and even offered to schedule a ride for us. He told us the history of Capetown up the mountain, which was great! The entire hike, he made sure we were comfortable and safe. We really enjoyed our hike with Tony.
