Unbeatable experience - This is the second time we have used Lynette to show us some of the beautiful spots in Cape Town. 7 years ago she took us up lions head and this year she helped us up the magnificent table mountain. Firstly, she is a wonderful person to be around. She is engaging and calming and knows the mountains so well. Back then, as a first time hiker, she held my hand through the scrambling. This time, she paced us and gave us the breaks we needed whilst also pushing us to hit our target. We are so grateful to her for sharing her love of South Africa and nature with us. I can’t wait to come back again and explore more and we will be asking for Lynette every time!

Amazing hike! - What an amazing hike! Lynette was our guide and she was so good, very informative and aware of our pace and matched accordingly. It’s a tough hike but so worth it. Great to be collected from hotel and returned. Thank you Lynette for a wonderful experience!

Personalised tour on it's best - Excellent Tour supported by OTC, many thanks Lynette and Amber. Be prepared as early you can, to be not later than 9:30a.m. on the plateau, anything else is too hot.

Pattleklip Gorge/Table Mountain & Lions Head Hikes - We did the Pattleklip Gorge/Table Mountain & Lions Head hikes with Lynette. She was the perfect guide collecting us from our hotel on both occasions & taking us to the start point of both hikes. Lynettes knowledge of the routes, the history & taking time to point out interesting flora & fauna added to the experience. The hikes were at a great pace to suit everyone. Would not hesitate in using Lynette again for other tours should be return The Cape

Cape Town must do! - We did the Platteklip gorge hike with Lynette and it was amazing. We loved every minute of it. Lynette was really easy to speak to, was laid back, took into account our fitness levels and went at the pace we are comfortable with. made the tour fun by giving us some interesting facts and knowledge about South Afric, table mountain and the wonderful wildlife! From my point of view it was a difficult hike but doing it with a group made it more enjoyable and motivated me even more. Definitely recommend would love to do another tour with her but sadly ran out of time.

To an enthralling experience! Perfect way to start the day! - The views from the table mountain were spectacular. Lynette was an amazing guide and was very cooperative throughout. She had some fun facts for us too. Overall a fun and great experience. A bit strenous for sure though for novice hikers!
