A Wonderful Experience in South Africa!
ILIOS travel was our guide over a 9 day visit to South Africa. They worked with TrovaTrip to organize an eventful tour for 20 women traveling through the Western Cape. It was quite the amazing experience! I want to make sure to thank our tour guide Dumisani. He was simply amazing and was the best guide! Also, I need to mention our driver Nazeem. This man drove us all over the Western Cape across the beautiful landscape safely. There was never a moment when we didn't feel like we were safe and we traveled through the mountains on edges of cliffs, on small streets, etc and he did great every single time. The tour included seeing the Penguins, Table Mountain, a visit to an elephant and monkey sanctuary, the towns of Plettenberg Bay and Hermanus. We visited Aquila Safari Private Game Reserve, Benguela Cove winery and many other sites along the way. I would highly recommend, 10/10! Thank you to Dumisani and Nazeem and the team at ILIOS Travel for a wonderful visit to South Africa. I can't wait to return.

Challenging climb, great guide, unforgettable experience
Our hiking guide, Micheal, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, accommodating and truly a joy to spend the day with. We were unsure of our ability to scramble up table mountain, due to already sore muscles from our previous day’s excursions. Micheal did an amazing job with both ensuring we could make the climb and also giving encouragement along the way. Not only did he ensure our comfort and safety, he pointed out a vast array of flora and fauna with detailed information. Michale made a challenging climb very comfortable and enjoyable.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Private Hiking Table Mountain & City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Full Day Private Hiking Table Mountain & City cost?
+
Prices start at $15250 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 Full Day Private Hiking Table Mountain & City take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours 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 Full Day Private Hiking Table Mountain & City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Full Day Private Hiking Table Mountain & City?
+
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 Full Day Private Hiking Table Mountain & City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Private Hiking Table Mountain & City?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Private Hiking Table Mountain & City 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 Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town, Private Full Day Stellenbosch Wine Tour with Pick Up and Drop Off. 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.
