Wow! What a day! Riaan picked us up from our Hotel and after appropriate questions about our level of excitement and adventure he planned a truly awesome day. In the almost 3 wks we had touring South Africa, the hike up table mountain was my absolute favourite! Completely off the beaten track, a route that I would have never have... More

Riaan took us up the India Venster trail last weekend. It was so great to spend a lovely morning with a guide who is experienced and intuitive enough to help you gain confidence to do things that initially seem impossible. It was a tough four hour hike & scramble, but Riaan led us up the mountain with a perfect combination... More

Having decided that hiking Table Mountain was a "must do" in Cape Town, we decided to find a guide and thankfully our hotel recommended Riaan. Although an experienced hiker, I am not good with heights but Riaan felt confident that he could help me through the "scrambles", and I felt confident with him. I had a real sense of achievement...

Had an amazing experience with a stunning view of sunrise over Cape Town. Our guide, Riaan, was very knowledgeable and experienced in the fun tidbits of CT and hiking. No matter what skill level of hiking you are, he makes sure you are safe at all times but you are fully engaged in getting the most out of your experience... More

Riann did more than just live up to his tripadvisor reputation! I read through a few of the reviews and decided to take on the India Venster and wow was it worth it.. I'm definitely not great with heights but Riann really did make everyone in the group feel safe with the climb up the mountain. An amazing experience all... More

The best possible diversion from an otherwise entirely work oriented trip. Take a half day and find the beauty of table mountain. You'll be glad you did. Next time, I'll finish the Cliff's trail rather than cut over to India Venster, maybe even start at the beach and walk right up it! Don't try this without Riaan for the expert... More

After reading the review for hiking Table Mountain on Tripadvisor, Riaan and Hike Table Mountain came out firmly on top. The reviews were right, Riaan was a fantastic guide and great with all abilities. I climbed the Mountain with on 31st March (in the same group as Karolien below!). It was 3rd time lucky as I'd booked it for a... More

We did the India Venster hike with Riaan on the 31th of march 2013. At first I was a bit scared because of all the reviews I read about this trail. SInce I 'm not a real dare-devil I really needed to be convinced to go for it. But I'm so glad I did. It was our best experience in... More

I did my hiking trip in March 2013 with Riian. Excellent guide who has lots of experience and knowledge of the mountain. He also wanted me to have great time there so when weather seemed to be bad, he wanted to settle new date for the hike and it was very good service! Finally weather was better and the day... More
