Table Mountain
At the lower cable station, we will join a queue of tourists to go on the five-minute cable car trip to the top of Table Mountain, 1 067 meters above sea level, and explore the summit. You’ll find a self-service restaurant, Table Mountain Café, offering a range of food and drinks, snacks, desserts and wines. Table Mountain is a great spot to sit and soak up the commanding 360-degree views of Cape Town, Table Bay, the nearby peaks of the surrounding mountains and the rest of the Table Mountain National Park, in which the Cableway is situated. There are 3 trails you can choose to do with the guide: DASSIE WALK (15 min) AGAMA WALK (30 min) KLIPSPRINGER WALK (45 min)

An Exceptional Table Mountain Experience
This Table Mountain tour was absolutely outstanding. The scenery from the top is breathtaking, and having a knowledgeable guide made the experience even more meaningful. There was plenty of time for photos, questions, and simply taking in the incredible surroundings.
Response from the operator: I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Table Mountain tour and the breathtaking views from the top. Allowing time for photos, questions, and simply taking in the scenery is exactly how the experience should be enjoyed, so it’s great to know that came through. Thank you again for joining the tour, and I hope to see you again in Cape Town in the future.

Great Service
Our trip was cancelled due to high winds on the mountain. We where kept informed about the situation and our refund was made into our account quickly
Response from the operator: Thank you for your understanding and kind review. 🌬️ We’re sorry the tour had to be cancelled due to high winds, but your safety will always be our top priority. I’m glad you were kept informed and that your refund was processed quickly. We hope to welcome you back to Cape Town soon and get you up Table Mountain on a perfect day. 🙏

They cancelled last minute. No chance to see Table Mountain
Booked this 6 months in advance. The company cancelled on us last minute when there was no time to reschedule for that day. We rescheduled for three days later. Day before tour I contacted them several times with zero return call/text to confirm pickup. Day of pickup, 5 minutes after pickup time I call THEM again to be told Table Mountain was closed due to wind. Due to last minute cancellation and terrible communication day before and day of pickup I would never recommend this company.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and We are truly sorry that your experience with Table Mountain did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is sometimes forced to close at short notice due to gale-force winds and safety conditions on the mountain. Which is completely outside of our control, and we are not permitted to operate the tour when this happens. Regarding communication, I’m very sorry you felt let down. We did stay in contact and confirm the rescheduled date and time via message, and on the morning of the tour we only received final confirmation of the mountain’s closure shortly before your pickup time. We fully understand the disappointment, especially after planning your trip so far in advance and having limited time in Cape Town. Safety, however, has to remain our first priority for all guests.

INCREDIBLE! A must do in Cape Town!
We are so glad we booked our guided tour of the top of Table Mountain. We learned so much while taking in the breathtaking views stretching for miles! After out time at the top, including a stop inside the eatery at the top, we went back down the cable car and our driver took us back to the hotel taking the route around the backside of Lion's Head. We would highly recommend and if you go, sending you good luck on a clear-weather day like we experienced!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the guided tour of Table Mountain and that the weather offered those incredible views. It’s always a privilege to share the rich history and beauty of the mountain with our guests. We're glad you had time to enjoy the eatery and the scenic return via Lion’s Head too. Thank you for recommending us, and here's to more clear-weather days for future adventurers! 🌞🗻

Cape Town: Guided Table Mountain Tour with Pickup and Drop-Off: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Cape Town: Guided Table Mountain Tour with Pickup and Drop-Off cost?
+
Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cape Town: Guided Table Mountain Tour with Pickup and Drop-Off take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Cape Town: Guided Table Mountain Tour with Pickup and Drop-Off worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cape Town: Guided Table Mountain Tour with Pickup and Drop-Off?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cape Town: Guided Table Mountain Tour with Pickup and Drop-Off suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cape Town: Guided Table Mountain Tour with Pickup and Drop-Off?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cape Town: Guided Table Mountain Tour with Pickup and Drop-Off start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town, Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour, Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
