My friend and I were really keen to climb table mountain but were warned not to do it alone- we soon realised why. The paths are not clearly marked and often counter intuitive-you really do need a guide! Our guide, Sally, could not have made the walk more enjoyable. She was extremely knowledgeable and really flexible. We picked a walk... More

If you have half a day free in Cape Town - you have to do this. Our guide Leonard was friendly and very knowledgeable. Its an easy tour - nicely paced, and gives you a great overview of the city. Lot of fun too. More

I usually enjoy cycling in a city that I don't know which is for me the best way to cover distances that you would not be able to do while walking and so it is a great way to discover streets that you would probably not experienced otherwise. I have been living in Cape Town for 11 years and it... More

My half day biking tour around the table mountain was organised very flexible and efficient. I got great views and nice impressions of the cape town area with its fynbos flora. Logistic and tour guide was perfect. Bike equipment and single trail availability may be improvable. More

Thank you very much for two enjoyable and very interesting tours in Cape Town (Table Mountain Hike and Township Tour in Masiphumelele). What I liked most about the tours and about talking to you, Sally and Leonard, was the insights into the South African society I gained for a short moment, and I am deeply impressed by the friendliness and...

Easy to book from the information centre at the V&A we found AWOL to be very accommodating. They gave us a choice of bikes to suit what we were used to riding and were happy to tailor the trip to cover what we wanted. Sally, our guide, was wonderful! She really knew her stuff and we came away having a... More
