“Stuart was the perfect guide for this tour. Thanx for doing this adventure-tour with me. I really felt safe with him, even in the thunderstorm, which suddenly came over us when we arrived at the top of lions head. For info: it makes life easier for the guides, if you do this tour fully equipped. That means: Water, raincoats, good shoes ( trail or hiking shoes ), good health condition and a headtorch really should be a must!”

“Lynette was a really nice guide with a lot of tips. Afterwards she even emailed us a long list with tips for our next stops! We really enjoyed them! The kasteelpoort trail was nice, but lions head is more beautiful as a hike. We took a guide for safety reasons, but in our opinion €75 feels like a bit too expensive for a nice 4-hour hike. As a guide, we really really recommend Lynette!”
