We had an amazing experience hiking with Codi - he was a great guide from start to finish. Shared interesting historical info about Cape Town, and looked after us all really well. Would highly recommend.

Most wonderful host and experience! Definitely a must do while in Cape Town, beautiful views and a very fun activity!!!

Really enjoyed our sunrise hike Idrees was great very nice guy and made the hike most enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

Initially we booked a sunset hike to Lion’s Head, but due to rain forecast, we were offered to join the sunrise hike and we weren’t disappointed. Idrees H. our local guide had great inside information of it’s the area, was helpful and motivating up the treck. He shared history aspects and his knowledge about flora down the path. It was a real memorable experience with the reward of the sunrise reaching the top.

It was amazingly beautiful! Kurt is so nice, and made us feel very safe 🥰 he showed us less frequented photo spots which made the experience even more special.

Incredible hike with the most epic views! Codi was an amazing guide ensuring the safety of all members of the group throughout the hike. Being born and raised in Cape Town, Codi gave us all an insight into life in South Africa, the history and his personal experiences, this made the tour more authentic and showed us a locals perspective which I truly appreciated. He also gave us plenty of recommendations of things to do in Cape Town! Thanks so much Codi!

We did a sunrise hike with Idrees and had the most amazing experience. Idrees shared stories of the history of Cape Town and was a very knowledgable guide. Would highly recommended for a unique experience

Idrees was a really great guide. He gave us some great tips for what to do in Cape Town and shared lot of information about the area and history. The hike was not too strenuous and was brilliant to see sunrise over Cape Town.

Where do I start with this fantastic experience. We were a little bit nervous for this hike as we have never done anything like this, however from the moment we were picked up Idrees was incredibly welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We started the hike at 5 am in the dark but were provided with head torches that helped us massively along the way. We stopped regularly for breaks to catch our breath but to also look out from the fantastic different viewpoints of Lions Head mountain. Idrees pointed out some of cape towns famous landmarks, gave us some insights and facts about the mountain and also talked us through a lot of cape towns history. The first two thirds of the hike weren’t as challenging as the third, the third part definitely required more strength and stamina however Idrees was always on hand to guide and support us with any challenging sections. We felt completely safe in his hands and reaching the summit for sunrise was nothing short of magical. If you are thinking about booking this hike, please don’t hesitate! Thank you Idrees, this will be an experience that will stay with us forever.

A fantastic experience with a great group. Idris was an exceptional guide who ensured all were comfortable with our progress. Also appreciated the relaying of his personal experiences growing up in Cape Town which added to our experience. Well worth getting up early for! Thoroughly recommend.

Idrees is an amazing guide - Booking + pick up was super smooth. Hiked up in a good pace where everyone could follow. Amazing views and some additional facts and stories about culture, geography and history along the way. Would highly recommend :)

A couple of friends and I booked The Lions Head sunrise/full moon hike with The Cape Town Local. It was the most spectacular sunrise I’ve ever seen and without a doubt the highlight of our trip! Huge thank you to Tauriq for safely guiding us up and down the trail, for having an having an excellent photographers eye 🙌🏻 and generously sharing his knowledge of the area. This is your sign to book now!

Just a surreal experience from breath taking views to the incredible terrain. One of the best tours I have been on. Codi as our guide was perfect!

Kurt was the best guide!! Thank you so much, we‘ve had such a great experience and really enjoyed the hike. Would recommend

I'm so glad we booked the sunset Hike with Kurt, instead of going up by ourselves. Kurt shares a lot of interesting things about Capetown, the area, the history and some fun facts along the way. Additionally he knows some unpopular spots so we actually got to enjoy the sunset in complete peace instead of being with the crowds of people and having to queue on the way down. Moreover, in case you are worried about the height/length of the trip, he is a great motivator.
