One guide. Small private groups*. Your pace.
Road tours run in a Suzuki Jimny with room for three, or a larger vehicle for bigger groups on request. Hikes take private groups of up to eight; Geoff collects up to three guests in the Jimny, and the rest meet at the trailhead. He drives, and tells the story of each place along the way: the geology of the mountain, the fynbos, and the colonial and apartheid history of the city.
On the mountain it is the same idea. A small group, a registered guide and a route chosen for the day's weather.
Travelling as a bigger group? *Larger vehicles can be arranged on request.
