I did the table mountain hike via the India venster rout with my wife, Lynette was our guid. Lynette made the tripe easy for us and gave us a great confidence and push during the hike, as we were hesitant due to the scrambling part and were thinking of taking a simple route. She was very patient with us as we had to take a lot of breaks.

After reaching the top we realized that the cable car was not gonna work due to the strong wind. So she lead us all the way down (going down is harder then up)

I can say this about Lynette she is a professional and takes safety first, she is very patient, encouraging, kind and knowledgeable as she provided us with a great deal of information during our trip.

Advice:
Take extra water/snacks incase you need to go down hiking.

An excellent morning hike - the early start was worth it given the stunning views as the sun came up. Very friendly, experienced, warm and knowledgeable guide who recognised the needs of our group and adapted our trip accordingly. Lots of trivia, facts and information about the local area were offered throughout. We would highly recommend this, as our guide Lynette made the excursion so much more memorable and enjoyable.

We had a great time with Lynette scrambling up the India Venster trail on table mountain. Lynette was super nice, knowledgeable and very passionate about Cape Town. We can absolutely recommend doing this tour and waking up early is worth it.

Highly recommend OTC :) We did a sunrise hike up Lions Head. Darren our guide is an avid hiker and was both informative and entertaining. We had an excellent hike and felt safe despite the negative media of hiking Lions Head at the moment. It was great to see the good relationship between OTC and the other guides and the rangers / officials and this also made us feel safer.
Booking through Lynette was easy, communication was great & payment easy. Darren picked us up from our accomodation and also provided hot coffee at the top :)
Highly recommend

Lynette picked us up from our hotel by the V and A Waterfront at 06:30 and drove us to Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden for the start of the hike at 07:00. There were 4 of us in our group with Lynette as a guide and we can not rate her more highly. She was friendly, chatty, knowledgable and overall a really great tour guide! We took the skeleton gorge route up Table Mountain which took us around 3:30-4 hours to complete. It was quite a steep ascent from Kirstenbosch through the woods, up some ladders and up the mountain. I would advise that your group has a relatively decent level of fitness to undertake this hike. Overall, we had an amazing morning hiking the mountain, learning about the flora and fauna of the ecosystem up there and then of course were blown away by the views at the top! I would highly recommend this as a must do activity if you're visiting Cape Town!

The tour with Lynette was amazing! She is so easy to work with and flexible with some of our last minute changes. She arrived early on the day (at 4:45am!) and greeted us with smiles and energy. She was attentive and prepped us for the difficult spots during the hike. She also stopped to tell us about Cape Town during the hike. She obviously loves the city and is passionate about showing people Cape Town!

I highly recommend Lynette if you need a mountain guide.

The hike was amazing. So beautiful yet a little challenging. We loved every minute and Lynette was absolutely fantastic as a guide!! She was in constant communication with us. Was transparent about the weather but offered alternatives so we could still hike despite rain coming in and was the perfect activity to start our trip to Cape Town.

Our guide Liesl showed us a wonderful way to the table mountain that we would’ve never found on our own. Liesl, my boyfriend and I were the only people all the way up and it really was an unique experience. The views were breathtaking and nature so varied and untouched. Liesl was super friendly and shared her knowledge about flora and fauna & cape town with us and we had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend it!

Did the sunrise hike of Lion’s Head with Lynette from OTC, and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without her! She helped us along the way and gave some vital tips (as well as interesting info) about the mountain and Cape Town itself. Highly recommended!

Took a private tour with OTC (over the cliff) adventures via recommendations by my hotel. Dude showed up on time and was super prepared. Water for me and then extra water and snacks to keep you moving. He was knowledgeable about the hike/trail, plants, and animals and encouraged me to take my time as my pride had to fall wayside. Took about 2.5hrs with lots of breaks and we took the cable car down. (NOTE: if closed you'll have to hike down which seems not too bad, but I'm glad it opened up... rough on the knees).

He'd been climbing for years and would be someone I'd want to climb with. He knows several people working on the mountain and thus has the correct respect for it and its natural beauty and even still was awestruck after thousand times.
