    Better options

    Every though we booked this tour we did not end up doing it. On rereading the information we noticed the times, the 4 hour tour was to begin at midnight… weird as the cable car is not open then. After a few days of trying to contact the tour operator had to reach out to Viator who were helpful. If you want to do this tour be prepared for anytime and little or no contact. Also unlike anything else we have booked through Viator it has a “ no cancellation “ policy. My advice is pre book tickets, uber there and enjoy the experience!

    Disappointing

    No one showed up to pick me for event. Hotel tried local #s but phone was off. I had chat with Viator support for 1.5 hours, final was told I will get refund. What about inconvenience, waste of my precious time and frustration?

    DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR

    I was not given the option to choose a time and was told that tit would be a 3pm pick up. I later found out the reason being that no one likes to work Sundays and they had to wait for a driver from another tour (wineries) to finish that tour before being able to collect me. They also never bothered to find out if the cable cars were operating, so when we arrived, we discovered the cable cars had stopped for the day. It was a complete waste of time. When I requested a refund, they only refunded a 1/3 of the price which I complained about, but have yet to receive a response. DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR, MUCH CHEAPER AND CAN EASIER TO WORK WITH YOUR OWN SCHEDULE IF YOU UBER IT AND BOOK CABLE CAR TICKET DIRECT, EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND UNHAPPY WITH SERVICE BEFORE AND AFTER.

    great experience

    Tony was excellent. Got us to the cable car timely and made sure we got in on first cable car. Great excursion from checkout to boarding cruise ship. Highly recommend.

    Table Mountain Walk and Cable Car

    Walking the mountain top and journey to the top by cable car. We were collected by a taxi. The only negative was that we had to make the contact to the tour company the day before the trip rather than the other way round!

    Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

    How much does Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 1,500 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 Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 32 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car?

    +

    Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car 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, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. 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.

    What is included in Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car?

    +

    Included: On-board WiFi; Cable car; and anding and/or facility fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Cape Town. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Table Mountain Tour With A Cable Car if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
