“Great way to get around town without hassles of driving!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2013 NEW

I recommend the two day tour so you can fit everything in! It was so nice not to worry about our car- especially after wine tasting and the price was fairly reasonable as well!

“Joined the Open Top Tour Bus at the V & A Waterfront for a tour to Constantia, Hout Bay and Camps Bay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW

Excellent way to view different places of interest in a relaxed manner on the open top bus. One can hop off, spend time at a place and then catch a later bus to continue the tour. Bus was very comfortable,clean and each person had their own earphones.

“Great tour”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

I've done both the red and blue route. They are a great way to relax and learn more about this great city. I highly recommend a day on either one.

“A great tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

I would recommend both the red and the blue lines and if you get an early bus you can easily do both in a day and have time to get off at a few stops or go for the two day pass and do one tour each day. I did the tours on my own and they were totally fine... More

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

We used this hop on hop off style sight seeing bus recently and can recommend it. If you are new to a city it is a great way of getting your bearings and learning about the attractions on offer. We purchased a two day pass on the bus and for both routes, which gave us a free night tour, canal... More

“A great way to see Cape Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

We enjoyed both the red and blue tours, especially from the upstairs. The recorded commentary was quite good too. The red tour around the inner city can be slow, but the blue route was very diverse. We stopped at the township where we did a tour with a guide, and that was an eye-opener. Note these buses have designated stops,... More

“Bargain Tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

We took the topless double decker bus tour and found it well worth the money. At around £10 a day for an adult ticket you got a full tour of the city with complimentary headphones that plug in to provide running comentry as you drive along. Hop on and off at any of the stops and the ticket is valid... More
