Awesome Visit to Table Mountain
My husband and I booked this private tour with Gabriel to take the cable car up to Table Mountain. We elected to purchase the fast track passes, and were glad we did. The queue was quite long so very happy to be able to whisk our way right up. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more beautiful scenery! Gabriel was a pleasant, nice, helpful guide and gave us good suggestions without being pushy. He was a welcome companion as we walked around to the various scenic overlooks. He also had a nice car and drove well. We would definitely recommend this tour, and especially Gabriel.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Table Mountain tour and that the fast-track passes made your visit smooth and enjoyable. The views from the top truly are unforgettable. We’re especially pleased that Gabriel made your day memorable with his guidance, comfort, and hospitality. He will be very happy to hear your kind words. Thank you for recommending our tour — we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for more Cape Town adventures in the future!

Fun sights and insights with Fayical
We did this trip with Fayical from Cape Coast Explore. He’s a great guy and a great guide. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, reliable, and flexible. He accommodated all our needs, right down to details like advanced checking and notification regarding the cloud weather on Table Mountain, as well as adding in extra value sights and insights on the tour. He’ll ensure you have a perfect experience, including fast-track cable car tickets, transfers in his luxury mini-bus, and an overall VIP experience. The top of Table Top Mountain is an essential component in every tourist’s visit to Cape Town. We’d highly recommend that you book this activity with Fayical.
Response from the operator: Dear Dave, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words about your experience with Fayical. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Table Mountain tour and appreciated his knowledge, flexibility, and attention to detail.

Scam Warning - Don't Book
SCAM ALERT - Do not book! We booked a tour for three people covering Table Mountain, Bo-Kaap, and Signal Hill for $159 USD each. We were picked up by a tour guide, Samuel, who barely spoke to us - he then very recklessly drove us to the mountain, sent us up the cable car, and then hurriedly ran off, leaving us there by ourselves. No tour, no guidance, just dumped there. Then, when we came back down, he told us he was taking us back to our hotel - so, no Bo-Kaap or Signal Hill. We could have just booked the tickets ourselves and gotten the free shuttle or an Uber for the same exact experience. We were really confused and messaged the tour operator, who admitted that they had another group on the mountain who needed to be taken back - so I guess that's why Samuel was driving so recklessly and abandoned us. Then, Samuel claimed we'd asked to be taken back to our hotel instead of going on the rest of the tour because we were tired - a total lie. HYM then offered us a 75% refund - but only for 2/3 of us, for some reason? When I asked for the refund for all of us, or at least a refund minus the cost of the cable car tickets, they refused and stopped responding. I'm now appealing with Viator and my credit card company. This company is shady, dishonest, and completely unwilling to provide the experience they promise. I can't imagine why there are any good reviews - perhaps they're fake? Don't fall for it; book elsewhere or risk being ripped off like we were. You've been warned.
Response from the operator: Dear Jayni, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify that the tour was offered as described. You specifically chose the Fast-Track Table Mountain tickets, which are more expensive, because you did not want to wait in the standard queue of approximately two hours. These tickets ensured you could go straight up without delay. As a gesture of goodwill, we offered you a partial refund of $160 USD, which is a quarter of the total amount paid for three guests. In addition, we also offered you the opportunity to complete the remaining portion of the tour (including the Signal Hill drive) at a later stage. Please note that the Viator platform thoroughly checks all reviews to ensure they are genuine and reflect verified experiences from real travelers. We truly regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, but we did make every effort to accommodate and resolve your concerns fairly. Kind regards, HYM Cape Tours Team

SCAM ALERT – DO NOT BOOK!
🚨 SCAM WARNING 🚨 We booked a tour for three people for $159 USD each that was supposed to include Table Mountain, Bo-Kaap, and Signal Hill. Our guide, Samuel, barely spoke to us while recklessly driving us to Table Mountain. He messaged us screenshotted cable car tickets, took us up, and then just... ditched us. No guided tour, no commentary, nothing. Just left us there on our own. When we came back down, Samuel told us we were being taken back to the hotel. The rest of the tour was simply skipped without notice. When we contacted the company, they told us that they had another group on the mountain who needed to be taken home - so I guess that's why Samuel was driving so recklessly and ran off so quickly. Then, Samuel claimed we'd asked to be taken back to our hotel instead of going on the rest of the tour because we were tired - a complete lie. The company eventually offered a 75% refund, but only for 2 out of the 3 of us, with no reason why. When I asked for the 75% refund for all of us, they stopped responding entirely. We’re now escalating the issue with Viator and our credit card companies. ⚠️ Do not trust HYM Cape Tours. They're dishonest, unprofessional, and clearly not interested in delivering the "hassle-free" experience they promise. I can't imagine why there are any good reviews - perhaps they're fake? Save yourself the stress and disappointment and book elsewhere.
Response from the operator: Dear client, As mentioned in our previous response to your earlier review, we would like to once again clarify the details of your booking. The tour was provided exactly as described in the listing. You specifically selected Fast-Track Table Mountain tickets, which are more expensive, because you preferred not to wait in the standard queue of approximately two hours. Please note that Fast-Track tickets carry a higher cost, and as a gesture of goodwill, we offered you a refund of $160 USD — a quarter of the total amount you paid for three guests. Additionally, we offered you the opportunity to complete the portion of the tour you felt was missed, such as the optional drive (without stops) to Signal Hill. We also wish to assure you that Viator independently verifies all reviews, and they are not fake. We regret that you remain dissatisfied, but we made every effort to resolve this matter in good faith and to ensure a fair outcome for all parties.

Table Mountain Tour with Round Trip Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stellenbosch.
How much does Table Mountain Tour with Round Trip Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $61 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stellenbosch 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 Round Trip Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Stellenbosch is not rushed.
Is Table Mountain Tour with Round Trip Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stellenbosch, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Table Mountain Tour with Round Trip Transfers?
+
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 Table Mountain Tour with Round Trip Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Table Mountain Tour with Round Trip Transfers?
+
Around 9 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 Stellenbosch 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 Stellenbosch and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Table Mountain Tour with Round Trip Transfers 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 Stellenbosch 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 Stellenbosch?
+
On Outty we rank every Stellenbosch experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch, Full Day Afrivista Wine Tours from Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch Wine Tractor hop-on-hop off wine tasting 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 Stellenbosch?
+
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 Stellenbosch?
+
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 Round Trip Transfers?
+
Included: Hotel Pick Up & Drop Off with A Tour Driver Guide; Table Mountain ticket; and Air-Conditioned Vehicle and Bottled Water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 256 listed pickup locations in and around Stellenbosch. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

+
