The BEST way to start your visit to Cape Town!! - This is an absolute must do!!! We did the mountain to sea adventure on the second day that we arrived in Cape Town and it was the BEST way to start our holiday. We even brought my brother who lives in Cape Town and he loved it too and learned things he never knew! You get an amazing appreciation and understanding of all the elements of Cape Town, mountains, fynbos, ocean, a bustling vibey city wrapped in beauty. Matt and Michelle are great, and we felt safe and secure in his hands. If you are wondering if you should do this - don’t. It’s a MUST do!!!

Fun and informative experience - An incredible experience! Matthew was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and a great, easy to listen to storyteller. The views were phenomenal and I have fallen in one with the city of Cape Town! Highlights were also the beautiful picnic provided by his lovely wife, with the sparking Rooibos tea being a group hit 👌 The e-scooter along the promenade was so much fun! Thank you so much team!

A Mountain to Sea Adventure - Such a unique and special way to experience Cape Town and what makes up this incredible city. Matt has such a wonderful way with people and is a gifted storyteller. What a beautiful route, with mountains, fynbos, forest and a walk along the incredible coast, an absolutely delicious snack stop on the rocks with mimosas, ending with a fun and exhilarating scooter ride along the promenade made for a truly memorable day. I highly recommend this experience to locals and visitors to Cape Town. Definitely on the list as one of my best experiences!!

Highly recommended as the thing to do in Cape Town - DO NOT MISS THIS OUT!! - What an incredible day out!!! This is a definite when in Cape Town. So many people want to go to Lions Head, Camps Bay, Clifton, Sea Point..... well this trip does it all in one go and by foot and motorised scooter. We started off with our exceptional guide Mat and he story told, fed us, watered us and entertained us for over 5 hours. We have done tours all over the world and this was possibly one of the best ever.

A lovely surprise walk - We had a great day out in Cape town! The walk started at the Kramat on Signal Hill. We walked past Lion’s Head enjoying the amazing flora. We took a shady trail all the way down to Camps Bay. We were treated to lovely snacks and great views. We followed the coast, walking all along the beach, taking lots of photos and spotting seals enjoying the sun. The last part of the day we each took an electric scooter and rode all along the promenade. Matthew, thanks for all the great stories. It was a great outing. Manya + Frederic.

Loved every second! - 12/10! The Mountain to Sea trail exceeded all our expectations. What a great experience! It was fun, interesting and my whole family loved the outing. It's not necessarily something you get to experience on your own. Matt was truly a great guide and opened up our eyes to so many amazing facts about our beautiful Cape Town. Would definitely recommend this to anyone - the diversity of the tour ensures that everyone will have something to enjoy.
