About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Stephan Z0 contributionsBucketlist life experience with an amazing company!Wow! Where do I begin?? I would give a sixth star if I could. This is my third time using Bike & Hike across several years and three different trips to South Africa in different seasons. Matt Fletcher, the principal and owner of the firm, is an outstanding human being and goes above and beyond to ensure that either he or one of his highly qualified guides delivers on an exceptional and unique experience. On this particular trip, Matt helped us plan - inspired by a conversation during our last visit with him - a multi-day regional cycling and mountain biking trip deep into the Cederberg Wilderness Region of South Africa. We had the opportunity to explore different areas of this region, including Bushmans Kloof Reserve, Biedouw Valley (perfect in early September for the spring wildflowers), cycling along the Olifants River north of Clanwilliam, and we included an extension into the Northern Cape to visit the Quiver Tree Forest in Nieuwoudtville. This is a special trip with my aging father, bonding over a lifelong love for cycling, that I will never forget — all while forging new experiences with a trusted guide and operator. Matt is an upstanding and very kind individual with great integrity — as are all his exceptional guides. Not only was he highly adaptable and flexible when we needed to pivot and adjust our plans (extending them, actually) only weeks before the trip, but he made great recommendations and presented alternative options each day of the trip for different weather conditions or activity levels. He’s laidback, but his business is top notch. I would highly recommend his tour operating firm Bike & Hike as a fantastic way to explore Cape Town, the Greater Cape Town Region, and the Greater Western Cape Province. Seeing South Africa on foot and on wheels is one of the best ways to experience this beautiful country, and Bike & Hike has so many great options from planned to custom tours for every age, activity level, and recreational preference and pace. No need to look further than Bike & Hike! (PS - my partners and I have also done the Franschhoek Valley cycling tour with Bike & Hike, which is also top notch!)Written 18 September 2024
- Raphael512560 contributionsThrill ride on the open roadAbie’s enthusiasm was infectious and his expertise was reassuring as he treated us to a car-less thrill ride along Chapman Peak. First time on e-bikes was fun but would love to go for a long ride on road bikes with him next time. Having him along during an earlier Langa Township tour was an added benefit.Written 18 July 2024
- Go352687479370 contributionsHighly recommend!Abie was a fantastic guide on our half day tour. He gave us a long ride as we were really into the biking. We learned so much from him about the history of the area. We enjoyed the wines at Mont Rochelle and La Bri. It’s a great way to explore the area.Written 25 June 2024
- Relax575562920790 contributionsWonderful Vineyard Cycle - Private TourWe had the most wonderful day exploring by bike. The personalised tour was matched to our liking and the pace as we wanted. Wine-tastings were phenomenal and allowed us as a family to relax and take in the vistas. Lastly we enjoyed a farm to fork meal at Mont Rochelle which was so fresh and delicious. Thank you, thank you!Written 25 April 2024

Door to door pick up/drop off plus bike hire with Matt (very friendly and helpful), private guide (very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful), x2 vineyard tours with excellent wine tasting experience included and an amazing lunch at Richard Branson's vineyard. 2/2.5hrs of fairly easy riding, with a couple of hills that will give a nice challenge to someone with average fitness.

Loved this bike tour! Nothing better than getting off the plane knowing first two days are taken care of. Teens (17yr, and 15yrs) enjoyed being active (and learning about the city). Well worth it. Also hiked with a guide on different day which we enjoyed too.

We had an amazing time cycling the city on E bikes with Abie! We hiked Lions Head Mountain with him on the day of our arrival and loved the views and hearing all about the history, landscape and animals of Cape Town. We then asked if he could take us on a tour of the city the following day and he shared so many wonderful stories and took us to see some great spots and made modifications easily based on our asks. Highly recommend!

It was easy to select the ride we wanted and book online. We scheduled our ride for our first full day in CPT to familiarize ourselves with the City. The meeting place is the Radison Blu hotel which is a great location with amazing views. Matt was on time with great bikes. Matt will adjust the route based on the skill of the riders in the group. We left the Radison and rode along the waterfront, thru the City, the V&A waterfront and back to the hotel. It was a great ride and Matt has great knowledge of the history and routes of CPT. We had a great ride, then had a beer at the hotel overlooking the ocean. If we had more time we would have added the cycle wine and dine tour.

We had a very good time cycling the city with Matt and definitely would not have seen some of the sights on our own. This tour gives you a quick, efficient overview of Cape Town in 3 hours, with two nice stops for refreshment - one in the beautiful Company Gardens and the other in colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood. Most of the route is pretty flat, but there are a few short hilly sections. Some of the route is in the city, some through the waterfront/garden. You’ll see it all on this lovely tour! Enjoy!

Hi Jennifer
Thank you so much for the great review and accurate description of the tour for other future guests. We love sharing as much as we can including the scenery, culture and everyday life of living in the city. I'm so glad you and Barry saw other fantastic areas in South Africa like the Drakensberg Mountains and Umfolozi Game Reserve.
Safe travels back to Los Angeles

Matt

Everyone who comes to Cape Town should do this tour! We spent 3 hours with our brilliant guide Matt taking in the sights from the waterfront, through the city and gardens up to Bo-Kaap and back round to the V&A. The bikes were easy to ride, really lightweight and the route and pace perfect for any level of experience and fitness. There were plenty of stops and we met some great people at the cafes and stalls. The beef and veggie samoosas we’re so good we may have to go back and get some more tomorrow! Highly recommended and much more interesting and fun that the usual walking or bus trips.

We started our first full day in Cape Town with the Cape Town City Cycle private tour. As it pertains to getting the lay of the land in Cape Town, the tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Skeezo, was incredibly attentive, positive, and knowledgeable; he taught us much about the history of Cape Town and what life is like for many living in South Africa. Perfect weather was a bonus. What a great way to kick off our week-long adventure in Cape Town!

We spent the morning with our expert guide Matthew, cycling throughout Capetown.
Matthew brought us to all the highlights, but also showed us the little incrowd secrets of Capetown that you don’t read about in the travel guides.
We enjoyed the trip and laughters we had riding our bikes. A great and highly recommended trip you should book when in Capetown!

We did the city cycle tour with Matt on a Saturday morning. The bikes are easy to use and we felt perfectly safe on all the roads. Amazing introduction to the city which is much better than a bus and you cover much more ground than on foot. There's a lovely stop for tea and cake in the park and samosas in Bo Kaap. Highly recommended!
