Barry was really great. We did the India Venster route. Some of the super steep bits were a bit challenging, and he was very patient. Would strongly recommend if you’d like to do a less busy walk.

Barry made sure I felt safe and at ease throughout the hike, aswel as sharing his knowledge of the mountain and the surrounding areas. Very much enjoyed the whole experience, thank you.

The weather was too poor to do the table mountain sunrise hike so Barry arranged a different hike to Cecilia Waterfall and then around the botanical gardens. Barry picked up myself and another tourist and took us to the hike, then led us along the way at a good pace and told us various things about the nature and history of the area. It was a great morning despite the rain and I will definitely follow Barry's recommendations for future hikes in and around Cape Town!

The hike was great! Barry picked us up right on time - early so we could get up most of the way before it was too hot. The hike was fun and a good workout too. It was worth it when we got to the top.

I booked the tour with my boyfriend in winter time. The guide was super friendly and was flexible about our wishes regarding the time when we would start, as we had to get our plane on the same day. We took the long route, which is clearly recommended!

Enjoyed a great, quiet but tough hike with Barry. He picked us up on time and his guiding skills were exemplary. His pace was too. Got to the top and had a good walk about. Would recommend him again.

Guide was prompt and polite. Enjoyed the hike (wish the weather would have cooperated, but can't win them all)
