“City Sightseeing Bus in Cape Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

This is the best bargain ever. The bus is clean, and you get to see so much for the amount they charge for two days. We took the Red line and then the Blue line the second day. Both were such scenic drives. In fact we rode three times to the top of Table Mountain; but the cable car
was not running because of weather. The blue line was just as beautiful; scenery so spectacular. If you are looking for a bargain, this is it. We have done this particular bus in Rome, in Ireland but the price in Cape Town was the most inexpensive. Cannot say enough good things about this.

“City Bus Tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Great tour to orientate yourself with the layout of Cape Town. Interesting and informative narrative accompanied the tour. So many places to visit or return to. Great 2 day price with discounts for various other attractions. Free taxi ride to the Groote Schuur Hospital to visit the Transplant Museum (and return to your hotel), with the city tour ticket.

“Try the red and blue line Hop On, Hop Off bus!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

We took the red line Hop on, Hop off bus..perfect for sightseeing the city and beach towns...then we took the blue line and went to the botanical gardens, the wine country, Houts Bay, and the beach towns again...a terrific way to get an overview of the city and surroundings!

“Best thing to do as your first outing in Cape Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

I have been in this hop on hop off bus tour 2 twice, once in 2004 and now again in 2012. Both were fantastic insights to the city of Cape Town, and I highly recommend this as the very first thing you do once you get here. Both. Tours depart often from the waterfront, the tickets are inexpensive but the insight you will get form just one round trip will put you in good stead for the remainder of you trip never mind talking as if you were a local when tell you friends about Cape Town when you get home
