Table Mountain: Guided Hiking Tour at Cape Town City Tours

Table Mountain Guided Hiking Tour

Explore Cape Town's most famous landmark on foot with this 3-hour guided hiking tour of Table Mountain. Your experienced local guide leads you along lesser-known trails that showcase the mountain's spectacular landscapes and unique Fynbos vegetation.
