Felix was a great tour guide for the day, he was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot of history about South Africa and Cape Town. We also saw lots of incredible wild animals, pigs, baboons, ostriches and zebras and Felix pulled over every time so we could take photographs. Would 100% recommend!!

We had an amazing time in Table Mountain. The open tickets were great as we stayed all day there. Easy to get through and back. The only problem was when I booked the tickets, tickets didn't arrive until the following morning which made me worry. Tried email but it was rejected until I messaged, ticket s were sent as initially it said 4 hrs. Thought it was scam.

Cable car was great, but don't buy your tickets from Headout, buy them directly from the site as you will be paying a lot extra for absolutely no gain.
