5 star experience - Yvette was a fantastic guide for lion’s head. She was incredibly well equipped and made the hike super enjoyable but also ensured we felt really safe and in good hands. She was also really knowledgeable about the area and the floral diversity on the mountain… and even hand baked brownies! We would definitely hike with Yvette again.

Perfect Hike! - What an experience! Yvette was truly the perfect guide for us on this hike. It was my first time handling such an open hike and heights and she kept my husband and I very comfortable and engaged. We never felt rushed and she was such a pleasant friend to chat with too! She also took seriously epic photos for us! Highly recommend this hike with Yvette!

Wonderful Guided Hike! - Yvette was just the perfect guide. She made sure we were completely comfortable the whole way through and we never felt rushed. She was also very encouraging and patient. It was also much welcomed how she shared much about the nature on Lion’s Head and about Cape Town in general with us. She took great photos for us as well. We would recommend her for sure!

Amazing hike with an awesome guide - Yvette was our amazing guide who is not only experienced but adapts to your comfort level. She offered multiple options to see which one we would like to do and we chose lions head which has amazing scenic views. She was extremely helpful and patient through out the hike and clicked some nice pics for us too. We would love to do another with her when we come back again. May be this time we can hike up the Indian vester trail. The hike was a great adventure for us. Awesome experience.
